Book review : The Magic of Momentum

Book review :

The magic of momentum is in its power to propel us to places we couldn't or wouldn't go otherwise, and then to compound in that same direction. Most goals die when people run out of motivation and willpower. When motivation returns, new goals are born, and the cycle continues. Momentum is special because it doesn't depend on our thoughts or feelings to work.

Every breakthrough, whether it's earning more money, gaining more power and influence, gaining competence in a skill, or increasing your self-discipline, changes everything. Every new level one reach becomes powerful leverage to help one reach higher levels.

What We'll Learn:
- Why momentum is the most powerful force that affects your behavior at all times.
- Why momentum only exists across two time frames, and not in the time frame most people think it does.
- Why momentum works differently in our lives than in other areas such as sports (hint: it's the brain).
- How to instantly defeat the psychology of being in a rut.
- How to reverse negative momentum.
- How to create and sustain positive momentum.

Guise explains why this approach is preferrable to creating big goals that often go unmet because they require constant discipline and willpower, two things that are bound to fail on our worst days. Instead, if we concentrate on building positive momentum in the short term, by showing up each day and overcoming resistance, we can then create long-term momentum, which leads to lasting results. In Part 1, he explains the four principles of human momentum and in Part 2 he gives the reader strategies to reverse negative momentum, and create and sustain positive momentum.
