BIG GOALS (Wiley, November 2024) In the transformative landscape of productivity driven by AI and innovative technologies, there’s a visible need for a modern approach to goal setting and achievement. Big Goals: The Science of Setting Them, Achieving Them, and Creating Your Best Life, delivers 15 years of new research infused with the exciting findings of positive psychology, delving into effective goal setting practices for both personal growth and corporate excellence, with a step-by-step approach to high achievement.
This book is highly accessible in its comprehensive framework for goal accomplishment, with a nod to Locke and Latham’s Goal Setting Theory(GST) and an updated, expansive perspective on how to apply the newest science on mindset, grit, Artificial Intelligence, resilience, and gender perspectives.
The book also introduces renowned executive coach Caroline Adams Miller’s novel BRIDGE methodology, which addresses the “how” between the assignment of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and the desired results known as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – metrics used in most, if not all, organizations around the world since the 1970s. Miller breaks down case study examples of high-profile business failures and successes to provide a rounded perspective on what needs to go right in order for goals to be realized.
Readers of this book will gain a nuanced understanding of the science behind goal setting, with practical tools and unique worksheets to use on their goal-achieving journey starting as soon as today.
Big Goals empowers individuals across all ages to pursue their ambitions with a newfound sense of confidence and mastery, whether they are athletes, CEOs, students, or retired men and women looking for “reinvention.”
“This is the best goal setting book ever written. Period.”
Brian Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Heroic and Author of Areté
The book outlines how you can become grittier in a step-by-step way, using the new findings from Positive Psychology, which provide effective evidence-based tools for lasting change.

There has never been a book like this one that has specific steps, evidence-based research supporting its points, stories from other women’s mastermind groups, and ideas about how to use the power of ritual to create this sacred and important space in every woman’s life.
Buy this book for yourself, for the women you love in your life, and for anyone else who needs to get out of her silo and cultivate passion, purpose and persistence while also supporting other women at the same time.
This book is a celebration of women. It is an invitation to journey from #MeToo to thriving women via appreciative inquiry, dialogue, and story telling. It addresses topics, through an appreciative lens, that may be difficult to talk about, yet must be talked about to heal social wounds and create conditions for women to thrive worldwide.
Since “My Name is Caroline” was first published in 1988, a number of my books have traveled around the world and been translated into many languages including Italian, German, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean.
