W hat is a goal? How do people pursue goals? The answers to these questions may seem obvious because people have a lifetime of experience at setting goals, pursuing goals, disengaging from some goals, and attaining others. One's history of experience with goals, however, does not mean that one has an accurate understanding of where goals come from, how the mind represents them, or how one goes about pursuing the aims that are so central to one's sense of personal fulfillment
