    About this ebook

    TRANSFORMING SMALL RESOLUTIONS INTO GRAND RESULTS IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK.

    Recent research in psychophysiology, computational neuroscience and holistic medicine has illuminated motivations about such aspects of everyday life as personal success, professional achievement, level of motivation, and academic triumph or failure.

    This book rummages through comprehensive data of more than 100 successful individuals – including social activists, businesspeople, politicians and top athletes – to field a simple question: How to turn a small resolution into a big result?

    The answer is enlightening, heartening and inspiring, especially when it comes to taking a fledgling routine and making it a strong, enduring and pleasant wellspring of human creativity.

    >>> The book contains a helpful Discussion Guide. Through burning questions, the book gives extensive advice on how to use the discussion guide, how to inform decisions related to the topics at hand, and how to best read it – alone, in reading groups, with your partner, or as part of learning activities, among others.

    >>> After reading this book, you will know:
    * How the brain works and how to calibrate neuronal activity for greater efficiency;
    * How a habit is formed, and what pushes it to become a long-lasting routine;
    * What makes a G.R.E.A.T. resolution;
    * The power of the VSR+KPI model in relation to setting resolutions and reaching goals; and
    * The tiny habits you can convert into big results

    >>> Who will benefit from this book?
    * You.

    Karma Peters

    I wish to remain anonymous because the ideas I convey in my books are far more momentous than my humble person. Consider me nonexistent – a myth, a modicum of human folklore, a thinking iota in our collective wisdom.Just delve into my books, learn a thing or two...and, if you like the content, try to improve your life (and others’ lives). I don't aim to be a personal-growth guru, a healer, a celebrated self-help pundit, an attention-hungry author. In our publicity-obsessed culture, we don't need another such figure.I see life through the lens of passion and compassion; promise and compromise; happiness; and unwearied altruism, the kind you project when you stare at a newborn and know right away that only you can help him or her fulfill the untapped, God-given potential each of us has.We have that inner passion – so why not use it, enhance it, modify it, channel it while we are here on Earth? As an author, philosopher and life coach, I write books that inspire, motivate and teach you how to reconnect with your inner energy and ignite your outer potential.In an earlier life, I learned the ropes of financial management, organizational effectiveness, strategy, marketing and investment banking, first earning an MBA in Finance at Rutgers University and then working in various roles in the financial-services industry in New York and New Jersey. These positions ultimately enabled me to see how infinite goodness manifests itself in humans, producing pure bliss in unexpected moments and places – and how, unfortunately, sometimes our worst angels lead us to blaze unfortunate and troublesome paths for ourselves and others.These days, I wake up each morning to the sweet, hopeful music of life, and sleep to the adorable, buoyant melody of tomorrow – living one day at the time, enjoying simple moments, appreciating the chance to exist, and feeling grateful for the serendipity of human love.

      Résumé

      This book deconstructs the brain, and associated neuronal mechanisms, to explain what sets successful people apart from the rest of society: mental fortitude.

      The first chapter covers how the brain works, exploring, in a second section, how a habit is formed.

      Understanding the notions of neuronal activity and habit can help you identify and fathom the elements that prevent you from reaching your goals.

      Every year, millions of people make resolutions on specific dates: January 1st, upon graduation, at a wedding ceremony, in a hospital bed, etc.

      But most people find out that fulfilling an aspiration is not just a matter of willpower.

      It is also a complex and sometimes eerie combination of hard work, neuronal recalibration, serendipity, resource (re)allocation and personal networking.

      Neuronal recalibration, or the ability to change your mind quickly and effectively, is the topic I cover in the third chapter of this book, especially when it comes to defining what makes a resolution easily reachable.

      In chapter 4, the book introduces the VSR+KPI model, a powerful approach to setting and attaining goals, judging by the success it ushers in the lives of prosperous people who have used it.

      The fifth section discusses the importance of reducing expectation, highlighting why tiny habits can lead to big results and listing 30 minor routines that can produce significant improvements in your life.

      The book doesn’t categorize the habits by goal, say, weight loss, financial freedom or full-time employment.

      Instead, it provides a general framework you can use to easily reach every goal, an approach highlighted in several recent studies in the fields of psychophysiology, computational neuroscience and holistic medicine.

      The last chapter of this book indicates a series of expert recommendations to stay on track once you’ve made a resolution.

      They highlight not only the importance of developing mental skills and seeking help where needed, but also the significance of result tracking and problem fixing as you mull over the best way to reach your ultimate goal.

      This book is part of a series, "The Wheel of Wisdom," in which I explore topics as varied as love and romance, self-esteem, occupational success, personal bliss, effective communication, fear management, human relationships and spirituality.

      The Wheel of Wisdom reflects knowledge I accumulated through personal research, wisdom literature, everyday observation and the testimonies of hundreds of people encountered on my life journey – young and old, novice and experienced, religious and agnostic, optimistic and gloomy.

      Like each book in the Series, I’ve made this tome a quick read, easy to understand and filled with as many inspirational jewels as
