Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine and podcast host If you're struggling to get things done or meet your goals, the problem isn't that you're not trying hard enough, it's that you're trying in the first place. When it comes to getting stuff done, we fall short more often than we like to admit.

Importantly, this book offers a way out of the rut and into practical, progressive action. Stop Trying! reveals the compelling science behind our brain, behaviors, and beliefs when it comes to the notion of trying. Pulling from positive psychology, the science of habit formation, clinical studies, and more, motivational speaker Carla Ondrasik guides us to proven-effective strategies for better doingand ultimately to goal achievement and a more fulfilling life. Readers will learn techniques and tips, build skills through interactive activities, and hear sincere stories from everyday people who've made the transformative switch from trying to doing. Achievement is just one "do or do not" decision away, and it starts with eliminating "try" from our vocabulary. Stop Trying! shows us how to do that.
