Description

A More Beautiful Lifewalks readers through settingHEART Goals, a proven framework that starts with helping you better understand yourself not by tracking and measuring everything to death but by meeting you right where you are.

Traditional goal setting sets us up for failure. Starting from a place of desired outcomes, we attempt to answer the question, Where do I want to end up in life

Then we attempt to follow a plan that tells us to run in this direction and track our progress with journals, spreadsheets, and complicated tools. Often the plan is too long, too hard, and too elaborate. Its not flexible, fluid, or dynamicin other words, nothing like real life. We focus too much on outcomes, letting the end justify the means, and often forget who we are in the process, missing the point ofgoal settingaltogether. We need a system that allows us to embrace who we are and let that understanding guide us toward a better life.

In A More Beautiful Life, Whitney English shares HEART Goalsa system that starts with what matters most to you, never forcing you to adopt arbitrary goals and rules. The process matters, not just the outcomes. This system frees you from comparison and allows you to be authentically yourself. It helps you gain confidence as you make the progress that comes from having done your best instead of the depressing discouragement that comes from comparing yourself to the performances of others. You wont have to become someone else to get what you want.

You wont need to completely change who you are to follow the system. No more deadlines. No more tracking. No more nonsense.
