奥普拉·温弗瑞认为，感觉生活停滞不前是因为无法回答“你想在生活中创造什么？”这个问题。她指出，明确自己想要什么，是摆脱停滞的关键。 梅尔·罗宾斯强调，没有与自身真正渴望相联系的个人目标，生活就会流于形式。她分享了俄勒冈大学的研究，将目标设定简化为两个主要组成部分：“意志”（Why）和“方法”（How）。“意志”指的是目标背后的动机和情感，而“方法”则指实现目标的具体计划和步骤。她指出，只有同时具备“意志”和“方法”，才能成功实现目标。 梅尔·罗宾斯还列举了设定和实现目标时常见的五个错误：1. 只关注方法，忽略原因；2. 设定过多的目标；3. 没有找到目标的最佳点（目标既不能太容易也不能太难）；4. 目标过于笼统；5. 没有使用高低范围目标法。她详细解释了每个错误，并提供了相应的解决方案。 梅尔·罗宾斯还分享了其他一些研究成果，例如：设定目标能够提升幸福感、抑制负面情绪，并赋予生活意义和目标感；用第三人称谈论目标能更好地明确目标并提高实现目标的几率；将目标告诉自己敬佩的人能够增强目标承诺和绩效；设定目标后，第一步应该设定一个非常容易实现的里程碑，以建立成就感和动力；设定目标的关键在于创造生活意义和目标感，而不仅仅是追求结果本身的满足感。 Dave 询问了关于目标设定和实现方法的问题，表达了在过去设定和实现目标方面的困难。 Kurt 询问了在无法确定目标的情况下如何设定目标的问题。
