Change your habits, change your life
“Answering these 6 questions doesn’t just ‘kind of’ work or ‘maybe work’ for some people. It works.” – Professor Marshall Goldsmith
Professor Marshall Goldsmith, voted the world’s #1 leadership thinker and executive coach, reveals that asking “Active Questions” daily leads to a 91% success rate in reaching your goals, based on research by Duke University.
91% of people improved within just 10 days
Alongside Dr. Kelly Goldsmith, Professor Goldsmith demonstrates that answering these 6 questions daily significantly improves personal engagement, happiness, meaning, achievement, joy, and passion. You can even customize the questions to target any desired state or feeling.
The 6 recommended daily questions are:
- Did I do my best to be happy?
- Did I do my best to find meaning?
- Did I do my best to be fully engaged?
- Did I do my best to build positive relationships?
- Did I do my best to set clear goals?
- Did I do my best to make progress toward goal achievement?
After just two weeks of daily practice, participants reported:
- 34% improved in all six areas
- 67% improved in four out of six areas
- 91% improved in at least one area
- No one reported getting worse
These questions gently nudge you into a positive way of thinking, acting, and being, retraining your mind for success. While simple, staying consistent can be challenging. That’s where a habit-tracking app comes in handy.
