About this listen
From Inc.com's most popular columnist, a counterintuitive - but highly practical - guide to finding and maintaining the motivation to achieve great things.
It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through.
But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact, motivation is a result of process, not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal.
Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level - at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives, a little anxious and unsure about our way forward, a little burned by self-help books and strategies that have failed us in the past - and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams.
Haden takes the mystery out of accomplishment, proving that success isn't about spiritual awakening or a lightning bolt of inspiration - as Tony Robbins and adherents of The Secret believe - but instead, about clear and repeatable processes. Using his own advice, Haden has consistently drawn two million views a month to his posts, completed a 107-mile long mountain bike race, and lost 10 pounds in a month.
Success isn't for the uniquely-qualified; it's possible for any person who understands the true nature of motivation. Jeff Haden can help you transcend average and make lasting positive change in your life.

“Jeff Haden knows what many people don’t: that success is less about searching for motivation and more about muddling through until you achieve something motivating.” (Adam Grant, author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B with Sheryl Sandberg)

Kind of thinking that’s needed in the modern world
Beautifully crafted book that dispels a lot of prevalent beliefs that have been peddled by society for decades.
Action -> success -> motivation (loop).
Loved the narration as well.

Unnecessarily dragged
The content of the book could be reduced to a blogpost.Though it's good and useful , lot of unnecessary stuff was added in the later part of the book.

good book
it's narration is pretty good, no complains there.
but the story itself seems a little haphazard and points don't necessarily connect well. I think it is done intentionally by the author to give it more of a conversation feel but for me I struggled with understanding the flow of the book which in turn makes it hard for me to actualize.

It's not what title says
Its more of small ideas for business book and relationship ideas book rather than a motivation exploring book. I picked it up specially by the cover and starting pages
Although its starting chapter are good but as we go through you will feel author just trying to make the book long just by including all the tips about anything he can .
I am a student and All I find imp advice are in starting chapters only .
Nevertheless Ray porter, Loved your narration it feels like just you're talking to me rather than reading a book.

Get boring & repetitive very fast
The initial few parts of the book were quite good & informative, but later the book became boring due to repetitive & general examples.
