Big Goals: The Science of Setting Them, Achieving Them, and Creating Your Best Life delves deeply into effective goal setting practices for both personal growth and corporate excellence, empowering individuals across all ages to pursue their ambitions with a newfound sense of confidence and mastery. Listeners of this book will gain a nuanced understanding of the little-known science of goal setting, with practical tools and unique worksheets to use on their goal-achieving journey.

The insight in this book is powered by fifteen years of exciting findings of positive psychology, along with Caroline Adams Miller's extensive experience as an executive coach. In this book, listeners will learn about the newest science on mindset, grit, Artificial Intelligence, resilience, and gender perspectives; Miller's novel BRIDGE methodology, which addresses the "how" between the assignment of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs); and Locke and Latham's Goal Setting Theory (GST) and why it has been proven to work so well.

No matter whether you're scared to start, sick of failure, or somewhere in between, Big Goals explains the new approach you need to more confidently and effectively move forward towards achieving your goals in your personal and professional life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I was looking forward to this book, only to find out it's mostly the author complaining that traditional goal setting is aimed at men, and women have been marginalized, ignored, discriminated against, etc., etc. She doesn't just say it once, she keeps coming back to it over and over and over again. If that's what she wants to write about, that's fine, but don't package it as a goal setting book for general audiences.

Written Primarily for Women

I read a review that says this is female oriented but as I listen the book is trying to give the listener the full story of goal setting, Yes the author mentions females a lot … but it goes towards what I believe is her point … most goal setting styles/platforms use information that is mostly created by and geared towards men and that is only half the information needed when looking at goals and how they work for everyone. Still in the middle of the book but good so far if you can get pass that she talks about and uses sources focusing on the missing portion from women.

Great book… if you put the work in. It’s a read and stop book that requires action. Yes, it does first address mental images of success in a ‘male dominated’ society to aid women in clearing their vision of success for success. This is imperative to remove mental barriers and level the playing field. After that, it’s a book for EVERYONE! Try it for yourself.

Note- the appendix seems to be missing information.

If you’re looking for a book that looks at the research on goal setting from multiple perspectives versus one person‘s lifelong microcosm of research, this is your book. Thank you, Caroline for looking far and wide for all the details to synthesize the most up-to-date research on goal setting.
