Introducing: What Do I Really Want To Achieve?
It can be hard to decide what we really want to achieve in our lives; our ambitions are often scattered, diverse and difficult to pin down.
What Do I Really Want To Achieve is a novel new tool for helping us focus on what we need to be fulfilled. It contains 160 cards detailing our most common ambitions and longings, along with instructions on how to reflect on our goals, arrange them in a logical order of priorities and, where necessary, weigh up trade-offs. Using the cards will help us to reveal our true purpose.
Discover this simple-seeming but ingenious psychological tool for converting hunches and dreams into a realisable future.
