How to Build Self-Discipline

Resist Temptations and Reach Your Long-Term Goals

De: Martin Meadows

Narrado por: John Gagnepain

If you want to make positive changes in your life and achieve your long-term goals, I can't think of a better way to do it than to learn how to become more self-disciplined.

Science has figured out a lot of interesting aspects of self-discipline and willpower, but most of this knowledge is buried deep inside long, boring scientific papers. If you'd like to benefit from these studies without actually reading them, this audiobook is for you. I've done the job for you and researched the most useful and viable scientific findings that will help you improve your self-discipline.

Here are just a few of things you will learn from this audiobook:

1. What a bank robber with lemon juice on his face can teach you about self-control. This story will make you laugh out loud, but its implications will make you think twice about your ability to control your urges.
2. How $50 chocolate bars can motivate you to keep going when faced with an overwhelming temptation to give in.
3. Why President Obama wears only gray and blue suits, and what it has to do with self-control.
4. Why the popular method of visualization can actually prevent you from reaching your goals and destroy your self-control (and what to do instead).
5. What dopamine is and why it's crucial to understand its role if you want to break your bad habits and form good ones.
6. Five practical ways to train yourself in self-discipline. Discover some of the most important techniques to increase your self-control and become better at resisting instant gratification.
7. Why and when indulging yourself can actually help you build your self-discipline. Yes, you can stuff yourself (from time to time) and still lose weight.
8. You too can master the art of self-discipline and learn how to resist temptations. Your long-term goals are worth it. Scroll up to buy the audiobook now.

16 hour fasting and icewater showers?

I am certain that the author is successful and that his message is well intended. However, he lost me at daily 16 hour fasting and icy cold showers. I just think that those extreme positions must be limited to a very small fraction of the worlds population. BMac.

So packed I'll need another listen

great, short, packed with information. Can't wait to try in my day to day. Also will have to read again as there are so many points that I will want to review as I get better with practice.

loved it

this book is better than I expected. some information I already knew, but much better from the author. I have my sneakers on and ready to go.

Very informative book!

I love the book because it has so much practical advice in a short time. The author has done a lot of research and put it down in a way that it is easy to get it. I also like that the reference from the research is placed back in the book, so if you need you can go there and get more into it. I love that the book is not so long, because then is possible to read through in a busy life. When it is short like that it is also easy to listen again and again, so you become more and more familiar with the thinking. To be able to change your life, you first need to change your thinking. Some other review complained that is too much about getting into training and thin, but these are just examples, The book's information can easily be used in other areas in your life. In my opinion, health is a necessary goal to reach all other goals in your life. I am thin, but I still like to avoid chocolate, eat healthy.... etc. to keep myself healthy. :o)

Concise and Helpful

Very straight forward, concise and helpful. (It's not a diet and exercise book ignore that lady.) I have read a lot of self-improvement books and still found helpful new ideas in here. I have one or two new favorites that are making a big difference in my life. Great that it's Short enough you can listen to it again and again.
