When it comes to setting and meeting goals, do you tend to look at the big picture or drill down to the fine details? Depending on your frame of reference, you may see-quite literally-your plans, your progress, and your potential in the wrong ways. But as award-winning social psychologist Emily Balcetis explains, you can learn to leverage this "perception gap." Drawing on her own rigorous research and cutting-edge discoveries in vision science, cognitive research, and motivational psychology, Balcetis offers unique accounts of the perceptual habits, routines, and practices that successful people use to set goals and meet their ambitions. A mind-blowing and original tour of perception, Clearer, Closer, Better brings to life four powerful yet largely untapped visual tactics that will help you see the possibilities in what you can't see now. Inspiring, motivating, and always entertaining, it demonstrates that if you take advantage of your visual experiences, they can lead you to live a happier, healthier, and more productive life every day.
