Book Recommendation Succeed- How we can reach our goals

Book Recommendation Succeed- How we can reach our goals Last week I wrote about Alison Doyles job search books, and I got an email from JibberJobber user Cleo Parker (on Twitter)  with what I decided would be todays post  From Cleo: Reading your post about books this morning prompted me to share a great book Im reading right now Succeed- How we can reach our goals by Heidi Grant Halvorson. In it she discusses research about how people see themselves, see their goals, and which approaches pay off. Although I would think job seekers who of a mind set to use Jibber Jobber are well on the right thinking path that involves beliefs such as hard work is more important than luck and you can get better at pretty much everything with effort, I found it enlightening and  valuable, and Id suspect anyone in a job search would benefit from reading it.  Especially the people who think that theyll be discovered without putting in the work needed to be found or those that just give up. Shes got one statement that I love about deciding if you should abandon a goal: If the answer is I dont have what it takes, you are wrong. You do have what it takes. Start again. (My Dad had a saying Cant never did anything same sentiment, probably why I like it!) Although Im not happy about how many jobs Ive gone through in the last few years (Im getting better and better at landing them, now I have to be more careful about wanting and keeping what I get!) Im happy to have had some additional time on my hands the past few weeks to read this book. I encourage you to check it out! Thanks for the insight, Cleo I know this will be a great book for many of my readers/users.
