Goal Setting, Mark Manson.

 Chapter 1:Why should we have a mixture of specific and general goals?

Specific goals give you something to work towards the entire time but having too many specific goals might make a person do anything within their will to complete it, Cheat, Hurt people, etc...

A general goal is a general idea of something someone wants to achieve so the goal might drift and become misleading.

A good mixture of specific goals and general goals are good because you can have a specific goal to become rich and that will get you excited to achieve that goal which will give you that dedication, but then you also need the general goal to get a supporting job to back that up.

Chapter 2: What do we need to align our goals with? Consider how these affect your goals.

You need to align your goals with your personal values. If you don't it's just a recipe for disaster. People look around and see others doing specific things, working on their goals and then they think that they need to be doing the same and think they will get the same outcome. Sometimes specific goals aren't cut out for specific people but people still try and it ruins their social life, has a bad influence on the area around them or they can become really self-centered, and then that's a whole entire problem in itself.
