About this listen
As he did in Who Not How, Dr. Benjamin Hardy shares one of Dan Sullivan's simple yet profound teachings that until now has been known only to his Strategic Coach clients: unsuccessful people focus on "The Gap", but successful people focus on "The Gain".
"[T]his one simple concept is a masterclass on positive psychology, healthy relationships, mental well-being, and high-performance. Everything that psychologists know about how to create a high-functioning and successful person can be achieved using The GAP and the GAIN." (Dr. Benjamin Hardy)
Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. We all have an "ideal", a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we're in "the gap". However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we're in "the gain".
That is where the gap and the gain concept comes in. It was developed by legendary entrepreneur coach Dan Sullivan and is based on his work with tens of thousands of successful entrepreneurs. When Dan's coaching clients periodically take stock of all that they've accomplished - both personally and professionally - they are often shocked at how much they have actually achieved. They weren't able to appreciate their progress because no matter how much they were getting done, they were usually measuring themselves against their ideals or goals.
In this book you will learn that measuring your current self vs. your former self has enormous psychological benefits. And that's really the key to this deceptively simple yet multilayered concept that will have you feeling good, feeling grateful, and feeling like you are making progress even when times are tough, which will in turn will bolster motivation, confidence, and future success.
If you're finding that happiness eludes you no matter how much you've achieved, then learning this easy mindset shift will set you on a life-changing path to greater fulfillment and success.

Powerful
I listened to this audiobook in four days. Highly recommended! I loved this audiobook and the concept of getting out of the gap and into the gain. The journal exercises and practical strategies are invaluable. I have ordered a hard copy of the book to take a deeper dive into the ideas, assist with practising this skill and to share with others. At times I found myself going into the gap as I listened to Ben’s incredible achievements. This is not a criticism at all, but simply illustrated how easy it is for us to go into the gap! Loved it. Thank you for this gem.

Excellent book
This is a great book for challenging how you see things that have happened, are happening and might happen in the future. Look for the gains everyday.
Measure backwards.

Want to be happy?
We can choose to measure ourselves against fluctuating ideals and externals or choose a life of GAIN. The more GAINS you create the more specific and selective you will become about the life you will live and the future you will create. Absolute GOLD.

If you only ever give one book to your most Loved…make it this!
This is a seriously one of the most impactful books I have ever read. If we taught this in our schools we could all buy eradicate Mental Health Issues in our Children.

So good!
I was so happily surprised by this book, which argues for a switch in daily habits and eventually mindset to refocus on the gains you are making. More than positive thinking or gratitude, it’s about growing into a person naturally geared towards growth and appreciative of life. I’m not an entrepreneur or even a businesswoman, but will use this to guide my thinking about my setbacks, wins, daily tasks, and longer term goals. It’s practical and not too preachy. Really good.
