Description - Commit To Win by Heidi Reeder

When we think about what it takes to achieve our goals, most of us focus on things like willpower or motivation. Those are important of course, but as anyone who's given up on a New Year's resolution knows, willpower and motivation eventually run out. Whether your goal is to get in the best shape of your life, create a winning team, have the relationship of your dreams, or be the star in your career field, the factor that really determines whether you'll succeed is your commitment level.

In Commit to Win Heidi Reeder, PhD, unpacks more than forty years of research by psychologists and economists to bust the many myths about commitment and explain why it's so important. True commitment--the kind that keeps you going even when you feel like throwing in the towel--isn't a one-time decision. It's not something you just have or don't have, and being more committed isn't always better.

It turns out that commitment is actually made up of four variables- Treasures- the benefits we get from working toward a goal; Troubles- the difficulties we have to deal with; Contributions- the time, money, and effort we invest; and Choices- the number of good alternatives we have. Together, these variables make up an actual formula that not only measures how committed we are but also shows what we can do to raise or lower our commitment level to match our aims.

Packed with practical examples and action plans for a variety of situations, Commit to Win provides a powerful new strategy that allows us to stop wishing for things to be different and instead make practical changes that will naturally empower us to reach our goals and create our best life.

Anyone who's ever given up on a New Year's resolution knows- Willpower eventually runs out. Whether the goal is personal or professional, the factor that really determines success is an individual's commitment level. Heidi Reeder, PhD, is a highly regarded communication expert with a slew of high-level clients. In Commit to Win, she unpacks forty years of research by psychologists and economists to show how commitment boils down to just four variables- Treasures, Troubles, Contributions, and Choices. Showing how to harness these elements-and providing practical examples and action plans-Reeder gives everyone the tools to stop wishing-and start achieving.
