Triggers

Creating Behavior That Lasts - Becoming the Person You Want to Be

By: Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Reiter

Narrated by: Marshall Goldsmith

Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

In business, the right behaviors matter. But getting it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us into behaving in ways we would rather forget?

Triggers confronts head on the challenges of behavior and change, looking at the external factors (or "triggers") - both negative and positive - that affect our behaviors, our awareness of when we need to change, our willingness (or otherwise) to do so, and our ability to see the change through. Drawing on his unparalleled experience as an international executive educator and coach, Marshall Goldsmith invites us to understand how our own beliefs and the environments in which we operate can trigger negative behaviors or a resistance to the need to change. But he also offers up some simple, practical advice to help us navigate the negative and make the most of the triggers that will help us to sustain positive change.

Well worth a listen

A cost effective way to learn from one of the best coaches in the industry. With discipline and self-control this book can be a powerful tool in both your personal and professional life. ;)

2nd most helpful book I have EVER listened to!

Any additional comments?

Aside from Mr. Goldsmith's other book (What Got You Here, Wont Get You There) this has been the most helpful book that has really raised my awareness levels on so many different levels (ie, personally, professionally, excetera). I cannot wait to listen to and read some of his future books as this man is truly amazing!

Extremely practical and great read.

It doesn't necessarily 'flow' at some points given that you are listening vs reading it that makes sense. I am someone who is highly educated and works with people toward change... This book is very helpful and insightful if you can apply the principles.

Solid

Good book - straightforward information, clear, concise, and well worth the read! Add it to your "to read" list.

This book changed my view

I absolutely love this book. It changed my view on many things and helped me understand a few things as well. Must read for anyone who is constantly working on themselves and their growth.

Access agency

Too many great books leave me inspired but without the tools to implement or sustain that inspiration. Marshall brings a new level of Awareness combined with the Question Practices for lifetime changes to occur.
The distinction between reporting on circumstance or progress versus focus on my willingness and effort is profound. Like teachers praising hard work versus being smart, this is a life altering paradigm shift with handles not just information.
May have hundreds of Audible books. This is easily the 1% of the 1%. Don't miss it.

Enlightening and helpful.

Great insights and advice about being more effective and having better relationships with coworkers and family.

The Best overall self help book!

The start was a bit confusing for me but I hung in there because I really want to change some patterns in my life, this book nailed it! precise and thorough! will read I over and over!

Too Much Information!!

There is so much detail and great recommendations that I had to buy the book to highlight all the information. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to make some changes in your life!

Layer after Layer of Life Changing Insight

It's the sort of book that you think you have summed up after one chapter but the insights, guidance, and wisdom just keep surprising you.
