Preserving Our Success
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 June 2021
Whether hoping to lose 10 pounds, pay off debts, or write the next great novel, the process of goal pursuit forces us to embrace the factors that move us, confront the biases that shape our thinking, overcome the obstacles that impede our actions, and adapt our lifestyles to productive routines.

This chapter details the way we construe maintenance to prepare ourselves for long-term success as we face new challenges and embrace new opportunities.
