Everyone has two remarkable, related capacities. We can aspire to something more, something better, and we can also envision ways to achieve it. But if we're capable of aspiring to something better and making effective plans, why is it sometimes so hard to reach that next level of success?
To achieve the results we want, we first need to understand how thoughts drive our actions. By understanding the latest science about how the human brain works, we can leverage it to maximize our performance--it's all in how you see it. Our daily experience, our plans and goals, our actions and reactions are the product of how our minds address the circumstances of life.
Drawing upon the latest insights from the fields of performance psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, as well as case studies from their own coaching clients, bestselling authors Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller explore the power of ideas to shape superior outcomes, not only in business, but in the rest of life. It's All in Your Head helps you create the thoughts that lead to better actions and extraordinary results.
