This has to be one of the best books I've read about motivation. It starts off looking at your values and explaining that living in accordance with your values is the most important way of ensuring you can motivate yourself to achieve what you want in life. If you are always working against your core values than you are going to find it very difficult to be happy and motivated.

I particularly liked the middle section of the book in which the author describes the voices in your head which motivate you and which originally come from your parents. These are described as RATs and they are illustrated by little cartoon pictures of rats in various situations. These are often called drivers in self help books - things such as always having to be perfect or a people pleaser. I find the idea of RATs brings these voices/drivers to life for me and that's what self help books are all about - bringing things to life so that you can change them.

The third section of the book explains ways of motivating you and designing the life you want which I shall be going back and re-reading and putting some of the suggestions into practice. There are lots of case studies and lots of exercises to do which will help you understand how best to motivate yourself. This book repays careful study and it is worthwhile answering the questions and doing the exercises.

I read this book over the course of several months. I got it on a deal and it was great value of money. Any book is as good as the person reading it, there were lots of great takeaways.
At the end of it though, you’re still the same person, perhaps we need to learn to love ourselves
