What I Discuss With Dr. Ayelet Fishbach

Many books have been written about influencing and motivating others but very little is documented on the science of motivating yourself. Dr. Ayelet Fishbach shares how you can set and achieve goals for yourself whether they are at home, at work, or in relationships and why it is harder than it may seem. We discuss how to know where to start, what to do to tackle obstacles, how to intentionally decide which tasks to focus on and how to get help from others to accomplish the goals.

• What Ayelet learned from being raised in an Israeli kibbutz and how it shaped who she is today.
• Advice on how to overcome chronic loneliness.
• The framework for goal mastery.
• How to set a goal.
• How to keep the momentum going.
