About The Book
This pioneering work makes hamburger out of the self-improvement industry's most sacred cows. It reveals the startling reason why good intentions so often fizzle out; why knowledge and motivation are not enough. Following Through presents bold new strategies for following through in virtually every area of life. It gives readers a whole new way of understanding and treating their own good intentions.
Excerpt From Chapter 1 - Poor Follow Through: It's No Laughing Matter
...We uncovered a fundamental truth about the human mind - a basic fact that's ignored by the myriad of self-improvement experts and programs that invite us in, excite our hopes, and then leave us flat. We found out why we humans so often get nothing but disappointment in return for the sizable investment we make in self-improvement; why we so often allow our very best goals and plans to get lost in the shuffle and fade away; why we always seem to have more wisdom than we use.
We learned that, contrary to conventional wisdom, poor follow through is not caused primarily by a lack of willpower, insufficient motivation, low self-esteem, fear of success, or deep, dark character defects. We learned that poor follow through is not our fault! It's caused, amazingly, by the paradoxical way the human mind is designed.

"Finally, a book about improving performance that doesn't sugarcoat the truth. It not only calls a spade a spade, it shows you how to actually use the spade to dig in and get the job done."
