A framework for motivating yourself

Ayelet Fishbach brings behavioral science to the practical questions behind personal goal-setting: how to choose aims, keep going through obstacles and distractions, and decide what deserves priority when demands compete. The book organizes its guidance around several challenges, including identifying suitable goals, dealing with the “middle problem,” resisting temptation, and making use of support from others. Research from motivation science and accounts of people working toward their goals provide the basis for Fishbach’s approach. The scope spans goals at work, at home, and in relationships, with attention to pursuing ambitions while maintaining health and clear-headedness.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People seeking a research-informed approach to personal goal-setting.
  • Readers weighing competing responsibilities across work, home, or relationships.
  • Those interested in strategies for persistence, temptation, and social support.

Book overview

Discover a "compelling" framework for setting and achieving your goals (Carol Dweck, author of Mindset), from a psychologist on the cutting edge of motivational science.

A great deal of ink has been spilled on the subject of motivating and influencing others, but what happens when the person you most want to influence is you? Setting and achieving goals for yourself--at work, at home, and in relationships--is harder than it seems. How do you know where to start? How do you carry on in the face of roadblocks and distractions? How do you decide which tasks and ambitions to prioritize when you're faced with more responsibilities, needs, and desires than you can keep track of?

In Get It Done, psychologist and behavioral scientist Ayelet Fishbach presents a new theoretical framework for self-motivated action, explaining how to:
  • Identify the right goals
  • Attack the "middle problem"
  • Battle temptations
  • Use the help of others around you
  • And so much more...
With fascinating research from the field of motivation science and compelling stories of people who learned to motivate themselves, Get It Done illuminates invaluable strategies for pulling yourself in whatever direction you want to go--so you can achieve your goals while staying healthy, clearheaded, and happy.
