Summary of The Ant and the Elephant by Vince Poscente

Leadership for the Self

About this book

Former Olympian Vince Poscente's entertaining short parable works with the metaphors of a determined little ant as your conscious mind and a habit-driven elephant as your subconscious mind. You make hundreds of small decisions daily, mostly without thinking, because your subconscious runs your life. Yet these accumulated choices put most people on safe, predictable, boring paths of mediocrity. When you see glimpses of what you could become, heed those insights. Don't revert to your old ways just because change is hard and progress may be slow. With the right mind-set and determination – think of an ant's diligence – you can overcome inertia and break through. Turn to Poscente's five-step action plan, based on "clear vision, commitment, consistency, confidence and control." Align your conscious goals with those of your subconscious so the ant rules the elephant. Convince your inner, more conservative self that your goal is not only possible, but also inevitable. getAbstract recommends this accessible, heartwarming story to anyone seeking to reduce fear, alter old habits and change for the better.
