Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts Book review by Deane Barker • December 28, 2015 • tags: psychology • This is one of those books which launches with a clear premise and then loses its way. The book is purportedly about “triggers,” things in the environment that get in the way of you changing as a person. Unfortunately, about halfway through, it became a standard-issue self-improvement book, and never did circle back to its original premise. That’s not necessarily bad, mind you. The author is a motivational speaker and has a lot of experience to draw from, and a lot of good stories to tell. So, the book got me thinking about triggers in my environment, but it didn’t really expand on the topic much more. A better examination of this might be “The Power of Habit.” I bought this in the Detroit airport and read it during a three-hour layover. Quick read, not a bad book, but not one likely to change my life either. Book Info Author Marshall Goldsmith Year 2015 Pages 244 Acquired June 18, 2022 I have read this book.
