Goal Setting vs. Positive Thinking

Picture for on Amazon.com 
The Power of Goal Setting
Received 3.5 out of 5 stars

 Review: 
A consistent theme could be seen in reading “The Power of Goal Setting.” The theme was not about goal setting, but regarding the laws of attraction and focusing on the things you want. Donna did a great job with providing examples and providing a sample goal plan. The book even had places in it where people could fill out their goal statement, obstacles, and action steps. This portion would be very helpful for youth who have never completed a goal statement. Although positive thinking goes hand in hand with goal setting, I believe the book was far more focused on the thinking aspect of goal setting than the actual title that so boldly adorned its front cover. What I had hoped for in reading this book was that the author focused a bit more on the steps of goals setting and displayed ways to alter goals when plans did not work out.

 The book was good for its audience and very encouraging; however would have been better received with a different title.
