The Gap and the Gain

Dan Sullivan & Benjamin Hardy

Most high achievers are chronically dissatisfied because they measure from the gap, the distance still to the goal. Sullivan and Hardy's correction is to measure the gain, the distance from where you started. The book gives a complete framework for shifting the measurement reference point, with the research behind why the shift changes both performance and wellbeing.
