Synopsis

The Plateau Effect is a powerful law of nature that affects everyone. Learn to identify plateaus and break through any stagnancy in your life— from diet and exercise, to work, to relationships.

The Plateau Effect shows how athletes, scientists, therapists, companies, and musicians around the world are learning to break through their plateaus—to turn off the forces that cause people to “get used to” things—and turn on human potential and happiness in ways that seemed impossible. The book identifies three key flattening forces that generate plateaus, two principles to guide listeners in engineering a plateau’s destruction, and three actions to take to achieve peak behavior. It helps us to stop wasting time on things that are no longer of value and to focus on the things that leverage our time and energy in spectacular ways.

Anything you want to do better—play guitar, make friends, communicate with your children, run a business—you can accomplish faster by understanding the plateau effect.

Goodreads review by Blakely on June 01, 2013

I read this book for two reasons: 1.) Bob Sullivan's "Stop Getting Ripped Off" is my favorite financial book (I've actually given it to many people); I'll probably read anything that Sullivan writes from now on. 2.) It seemed the the type of thing I'd be interested in reading anyways. While it doesn't......more

Goodreads review by Tyson on January 14, 2017

An extensive collection of ideas related to diminished growth in the real world, as well as strategies to overcome stagnation. While the ideas themselves were rather compelling, the structure and flow seemed a bit disjointed at times. However, the last chapter was incredibly insightful and should be......more
