"How To Fail At Almost Everything And Still Win Big" and "Loserthink" by Scott Adams.

jribonApr 20, 2021

There's a bit more detail in his book but this first resonated with me when I read Scott Adams' "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life".

Here are some of his blog posts on it:

Personally, I don't really think of it as goals and habits being mutually exclusive. Specifically, I wholeheartedly agree with your comment, "The only way to know which habits to cultivate (or rely on) is to have a desired result in mind."
