As an author in mindset shifts, I completely agree with this! It does set people up for failure, and they don't make lasting changing.
To make real changes is to set a goal, and then make small changes and shifts. If a plane is off 1% on their path, they will end up making a completely different flight and landing way off track. It only takes one degree of change to make shifts.
