The Gap and The Gain by Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan: The Gap and The Gain argues that it's important to focus our energy on our potential future rather than our past. The "gap" refers to the space between where we are now and where we could be. The "gain" means what we will get by focusing on new opportunities and possibilities. Some major ideas from the book: Focus on your future vision, not your past or present circumstances. Imagine your best potential future self and work towards that. Set clear "gap goals" to create momentum and direction. Know where you want to go and take tangible steps to get there. Embrace constraint-based productivity. Place limitations like deadlines, schedules and rituals to maximize output. Master the art of strategic neglect. You can't improve at everything at once. Be selective about where you allocate your resources. Develop higher Willpower, Energy, and Focus (W.E.F) to expand your capacity over time. Treat them like muscles to train. Surround yourself with positive peer groups who share your vision and values. They will reinforce your new identity. Create ways to quickly bounce back from setbacks. Reframe failures as learning experiences to move forward. The core message is to stop dwelling on the past and focus all energy on the next level of your potential. Continually raising your expectations will drive transformational personal growth. Need a therapist, check us out at https://strideforwardcounseling.com
