Book--Triggers: Creating Behavior that Lasts, Becoming the Person You Want to Be

Hardback, 245 pages, published 2015. Excellent used condition, like new. "Do you ever find that you are not the patient, compassionate problem solver you believe yourself to be? Are you surprised at how irritated or flustered the normally unflappable you becomes in the presence of a specific colleague at work? Have you ever felt your temper accelerate from zero to sixty when another driver cuts you off in traffic? Marshall Goldsmith examines the environmental and psychological triggers that can derail us at work and in life, by putting forth the idea that our reactions don’t occur in a vacuum. They are usually the result of unappreciated triggers in our environment--the people and situations that lure us into behaving in a manner diametrically opposed to the colleague, partner, parent, or friend we imagine ourselves to be. These triggers are constant and relentless and omnipresent. So often the environment seems to be outside our control, but Goldsmith helps readers understand that we have a choice in how we respond, by offering a personal playbook on how to achieve change in our lives, make that change stick, and become the person we want to be." 🌟
