Ondrasik reveals the compelling science behind our behaviors and beliefs when it comes to the notion of trying. Pulling from positive psychology, the science of habit formation, research studies, and more, motivational speaker Carla Ondrasik guides us to proven-effective strategies for better doing—and ultimately to goal achievement and a more fulfilling life. 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.
