Are you . . . stuck in a job you don't love? Always putting off decisions? Reluctant to challenge yourself? If so, you may be your own worst enemy.
This is the first book devoted to the problem of underachievement, a problem, stemming from common behaviour patterns, that can manifest itself in almost every walk of life - from twenty-somethings stuck in dead-end jobs, to outwardly successful businesspeople who can't help feeling they've missed their true calling.
Do any of the following sound familiar to you?
- Procrastination
- Wide swings of mood and self-esteem
- Ambivalence in making decisions
- Paralysing fear of disappointment
- Dreaming big, but never following through
In this book, Dr Kenneth Christian details the tell-tale signs of what he calls self-limiting behaviour - everyday habits that can seem harmless but that over time can send high-potential people into a tailspin of dead ends and frustration. He identifies underachieving types, from charmers, who substitute congeniality for effort, to extreme risk-takers, who casually gamble their futures away, to best-or-nothings, who refuse to play if they can't win.
And he offers a practical 15-step guide to help underachievers shake off their old habits, and start taking an active hand in their own future.
