Your hard work is bearing fruit. You are doing well in your field. However, there is something standing between you and the next level of success. That something might be one of your annoying habits.

Maybe a small flaw—a behavior you barely recognize—is the only thing keeping you from where you want to be. It is possible that the trait you believe has brought you this far—like the need to win at all costs—is what is holding you back. As this book explains, people often do well despite some habits and not because of them—and need a stop-doing list instead of a to-do list.

Marshall Goldsmith's expertise focuses on helping global leaders overcome their unconscious annoying habits and become more successful. His personal coaching costs many thousands, but in this book, you can find his valuable advice at an affordable price. Recently named as one of the top five most respected executive coaches in the world by Forbes, he has worked with over 100 major CEOs and their management teams in top businesses worldwide.
