Excited to announce the publication of my third book, ANATOMY OF A BREAKTHROUGH, in May 2023. The book's about the universal experience of getting stuck, and the less universal but universally desired experience of breaking through to the other side. (1/3) https://t.co/U5irI0rc4Y

[Adam Alter @adamleealter]

I first read (and loved) @MichaelMorrisCU's work as a grad student, and wrote a couple of papers that drew on some of his ideas. Excited to read his new book, TRIBAL, which is just out. Find it here! https://t.co/b8WEzdaOFn

My account was hacked, but should be good now. (You’ll know it’s been hacked again if I tell you to make crypto investments…)

A new meta-analysis on the impact of goal setting on performance found:

1. Process goals had a large effect on performance
2. Performance goals had a moderate effect
3. Outcome goals had a negligible effect

Feeling stuck is a universal experience that spans countless endeavors. But, why do we not talk about it?

And, how do we get out of these ruts?
