Can anyone recommend a good book on goal setting? Also who has read Anthony Robbins - useful or not?

Cheers Guys
 
Here's a good one

Take a look at The Power of Focus - an excellent resource for setting long-term (40-50K) goals that line up with your lower altitudes.

Here are two threads i have read about this.

Is Goal Setting Bad for You?
http://www.davidco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=728&highlight=goal+setting

As far as Anthony Robbins, I have read a very controversial discussion about NLP and Anthony Robbins, and things of this nature. Its a long thread, but about halfway down this page there is an interesting discussion about "coaching" which continues for a number of pages.
There are also some ideas about Goal-setting there as well.

Anthony Robbins is (in my eyes) an inspirational guru of immence proportions.........and thats it!!. Nothing more.

Wallowing in self imporance, like most high ranking go-getters, leaves much to be desired.

What did Da Vinci do ?

Just did!!

(NIKE 'do it')

Robbins is good for one thing - people with no 'get up and go' . PERIOD
 
Goals

Im still struggling with higher altitude goals. Its confusing to me - projects are goals are they not? Then we have higher level goals. Can projects be the same as goals?

Also, all the goal setting gurus tracy etc. suggest focusing like a laser on one major goal yet with GTD we end up with 70-100 goals at one time!
 
projects as goals...

Neil,

it's about the projected length of the outcome. Projects according to GTD are multi-step, but still with a rather short timespan (from a few days to three months?).

Goals would be longer, larger and contain many projects inside them ( timespan would be anything from three months to a lifetime depending on your "altitude")

It's all explained in the GTD book, so you may want to re-read it. Semantics are sometimes a bit confusing. Objective, goal and desired outcome mean the same thing - something you desire and are willing to labor to get it. Someone once called goals as dreams with a plan and a timetable. A project is a useful abstract concept in planning stages.

So even Tracy's single goal would contain hundreds of little projects...

Yes, but in Ready for Anything David says that 'land on mars' is a project i.e. it doesnt matter how long it takes its still a project
