Quick Summary
This month we’re learning about goal design and achievement. More specifically, we’re diving deep on:
- Understanding Value: How to identify goals worth pursuing in a world where many culturally celebrated goals prove ultimately empty.
- Goal Design: How to set goals in a way that will excite you every day when you wake up rather than goals that you want to be excited about, but aren’t.
- Goal Portfolio Design: How to determine the number of goals to pursue and balance your energy among them so that each goal moves forward rather than having a huge bucket list of goals you don’t really care about or being so myopically focused on one goal that you sacrifice more important ones in the big scheme of things.
We’ve all heard about goal setting and some of the most common techniques (for instance, SMART goals and BHAGs). But in this Mastery Manual we’re going to go several layers deeper. Also, it turns out that there has been a lot of new research within the field of goal theory, and some of that research overturns previously held conventional wisdom. For example, did you know that just visualizing a goal without thinking about the obstacles to achieving it leads to you taking less action?
This resource is 50-plus pages and represents 100-plus hours of work between Eben and myself over the last month to condense the best mental models in the world on this topic from researchers in the academic world, successful entrepreneurs and executives, and world-class billionaires. It’s all in one place so you have this ultimate action guide for getting what you want in life. Enjoy!

Rather than one specific model, the Sculpting Success model is more of a supermodel. It is designed to help you answer the following question about career success and life impact: Given that we all have the same amount of hours in a day, what makes the most successful people in the world create so much more wealth and impact (sometimes a million times more) than others?

We live in a culture that celebrates abundance. The idea of “more is better” is everywhere around us—in food, clothes, apps, information, possessions, money, and more. Therefore we tend to think of addition as a key to our definition of success. But there’s a paradox at work that we almost never hear about. Sometimes, we get more value, success, and results when we subtract rather than add.

Recent research from the field of AI makes the case that, to accomplish something big, you do NOT set ambitious goals and then work backwards. Rather, follow the stepping stones right in front of you that give you the most novel paths forward, even if you aren’t sure exactly how that stepping stone will pay off in the future. From that new stepping stone, you look for the most novel path forward again.
