GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　A Powerful Road Map for Surpassing Everyone’s
Expectations
　　Break through your self-imposed limitations by learning how your
own brain can be your biggest obstacle—or your greatest ally.
　　You’d expect your brain to be an always-reliable ally in your
quest for a successful, satisfying life, but surprisingly the
opposite is usually true. That’s because your brain is pretty much
the same model your ancestors were using thousands of years ago
when mere survival was everyone’s primary goal. It tells you now
what it told them then: Play it safe. Avoid risk. Evade
confrontation. Don’t venture outside the territory you already
know. And never break the habits that have gotten you this
far.
　　Coming at just the right time to help you deal with the growing
demands of our pressure-packed, fast-changing world, Robert
Cooper’s Get Out of Your Own Way helps you understand what’s going
on in that head of yours. Once you know what really drives you, you
can switch off the counterproductive parts of your brain, engage
the helpful parts, and set out on the path to accomplishing what
everyone else thinks you can’t. Based on more than two decades of
worldwide research, Get Out of Your Own Way shows you the five keys
for making the choices that let you engage and triumph over the
realities of today’s world:
　　? Direction, not motion
　　? Focus, not time
　　? Capacity, not conformity
　　? Energy, not effort
　　? Impact, not intentions
　　Filled with wonderful stories—about everything from the note
written by one of the author’s ancestors upon leaving Dublin for
America in 1829 (“On the horizon is where hope lives . . . I am
going there”) to the unlikely exploits of the world record–setting
Jamaican bobsled team—this groundbreaking book confirms that the
next frontier is not only ahead of you, it’s inside of you . . .
and what everyone else thinks is impossible isn’t.
　　Also available as an eBook
