psychology of goals . . . I love this book and know you will too' -
Angela Duckworth, author of Grit 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?

relationships - is harder than it seems. Knowing where to start,
and carrying on in the face of roadblocks and distractions, can
easily become overwhelming. When you face more responsibilities,
needs and desires than you can keep track of, how do you
prioritize? In Get it Done, psychologist and behavioural 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. 'A compelling and
revelatory new framework for setting and achieving your goals, from
a psychologist on the cutting edge of motivational science' - Carol
Dweck, PhD, author of Mindset
This volume honors the work of Arie W. Kruglanski. It represents a
collection of chapters written by Arie's former students, friends,
and collaborators. The chapters are rather diverse and cover a
variety of topics from politics, including international terrorism,
to health related issues, such as addiction and self-control, to
basic psychological principles, such as motivation and
self-regulation, the formation of attitudes, social influence, and
interpersonal relationships. What these chapters have in common is
that they have all been inspired by Arie's revolutionary work on
human motivation and represent the authors' attempt to apply the
basic principles of motivation to the understanding of diverse
phenomena.

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 behavioural 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.

goals while staying healthy, clearheaded and happy.
Twenty years ago, a group of investigators joined forces to propose
a new conceptual paradigm based on a cognitive approach to
motivation. This approach, referred to as goal systems theory,
offered a broad perspective on behavioral phenomena and inspired
research programs in diverse domains of psychological science. This
volume collects the rich body of insights and findings that the
goal systemic approach has yielded over the last two decades. Using
the major cognitive architectures of goal systems, leading
researchers from some of the world's most renowned universities
push the envelopes of their respective fields to discover new
psychological phenomena and relationships through applications.
These include fundamental topics such as attitude-behavior
relations, intrinsic motivation, consumer behavior, violent
extremism, addiction, and interpersonal relations among others. In
all those domains, applications of goal systemic analyses provide
novel insights and guide real world interventions. Chapters in this
volume present the authors' work in these varied domains of
application thus offering concrete illustrations of the theory's
reach and usefulness.
