What you will learn
Most of us move through life thinking our eyes show us reality as-is. But the truth is, our visual perception is shockingly unreliable. Our eyes capture just pieces of the picture, while our minds fill in all the blanks - often in ways that lead us astray.
And yet, this "bug" in our visual operating system is actually a powerful feature, if we understand how to hack it. Because by recognizing the gaps between perception and reality, we can essentially "re-code" how our eyes process challenges and obstacles. We can train them to spotlight opportunities instead of roadblocks.
It's a secret superpower that the world's most successful people have dialed in. Elite athletes, визionary entrepreneurs, you name it - these are folks who have cracked the code on visual perspective and motivation. Their eyes don't just take in the world; they actively sculpt their perception of it in ways that propel them towards their goals.
In her mind-expanding book, Emily Balcetis breaks down the four game-changing visualization strategies these high achievers systematically employ. She reveals the potent link between perception and motivation, and why normalizing failure is absolutely crucial.
By the end, you'll have a whole new appreciation for the extraordinary power of perception - and a blazing motivational focus unlike anything you've experienced before. Your eyes will finally see possibilities instead of problems, and the path to your biggest dreams will come into crystal-clear vision.
