Brief summary of the book courtesy of ChatGPT
The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy explores how people measure progress and happiness. It argues that when we focus on “the Gap”—the distance between where we are and our ideal—we feel frustrated and unfulfilled, but when we focus on “the Gain”—how far we’ve come—we feel motivated, grateful, and successful.

“Everything that psychologists know about how to create a high functioning and successful person can be achieved using The GAP and The GAIN.”
--Benjamin Hardy
