Mindful Self-Discipline

Living with Purpose and Achieving Your Goals in a World of Distractions

De: Giovanni Dienstmann

Narrado por: Giovanni Dienstmann

If you want to live a life of purpose, build good habits, and achieve your goals, there is one skill that is more important than anything else: self-discipline.

Self-discipline is not about self-punishment; it’s about self-respect. It is about living your best life. It is the superpower of focus in a world of distractions—allowing you to overcome procrastination, excuses, bad habits, low motivation, failures, and self-doubt. With it, you can stay on track with your values and goals even when you don’t feel motivated.

Self-discipline allows you to choose who you want to be and live by design rather than by default.

As a meditation teacher and self-discipline coach, Giovanni Dienstmann has helped hedge fund managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, ambitious professionals, artists, and pro athletes to live a more focused and disciplined life. Since 2014, he has been successfully coaching people to overcome distractions, procrastination, self-doubt, fear, and other forms of self-sabotage. Whatever self-discipline challenge you face, whatever excuse you are telling yourself—Mindful Self-Discipline is a collection of all these years of experience, converted into a tool for you to use.

This revolutionary book is a comprehensive and practical guide for you to develop self-discipline in a balanced way—without beating yourself up. It emphasizes the use of mindfulness and awareness as key components for building habits, rather than forcefulness.

If you have tried other approaches (Miracle Morning, Atomic Habits, Willpower Instinct, Tiny Habits, Discipline Is Freedom, Hooked, Can’t Hurt Me) and didn’t get the results you were after, then this is for you. Mindful Self-Discipline is gentler, more achievable, and rooted in living a life of purpose.

Think you are not made to be self-disciplined? Think again.

A worthwhile path

I like the conceptual approach of this book. I have only begun the first exercises related to defining your values and aspirations, so I can’t speak to the long-term effectiveness overall and it will take me some time to fully implement these concepts. But I have gained many insights just from listening to the audiobook and from the beginning exercises, so I already feel it is a worthwhile path.

Also, I really enjoyed the author/narrator’s voice and manner of speaking.

Remarkable book

This is truly a great self-help book! It's on par with Atomic Habits. I've played it 3 times, and I'm enthusiastically going through the workbook.

Mindful self discipline

Great audio and physical book, I’m happy I have both. Thank you. My new go to bible.

Literally Life Changing

I've started using these concepts and it works! I also bought the Kindle version, listening alone was not enough for me to put it all together.

So glad it’s an audiobook now!

I bought the paperback when it came out and love it - it cuts out the filler present in many personal development books, and I love the framing of self-discipline as a form of self-respect rather than punishment. It really did motivate me to be more disciplined.

It’s well worth a reread, so I’m excited to go through it again with Giovanni narrating!

Was this meant for audiobook?

I am four hours in and I feel like it has been two hours of being read web addresses and referred to a PDF. I am hungry for the insight, but all I ever hear is 'visit here...'

Comprehensive guide

Great book! I just finished listening to it for the first time and feel the nees to go back and really study it and practice it. Full of great advice, tools and techniques. Provides a practical framework that makes self-discipline feel tangible and truly attainable! I am so grateful for finding this book.

This book is awesome. I would suggest reading hard copy

I love this book so much , I would suggest reading a physical copy. It’s broken down really good with illustrations and more.hopefully Giovanni names the chapters or at least add an pdf with the illustration in the hard copy. Overall great book with tons of actionable task

Missing PDF mentioned in book...

It seems like it is good, but it keeps referring to a PDF and there is no PDF in my audible library for this book.

This book is a gift to help the human condition

I have read or listened to around 250 personal development books over the last 5 years and I have a lot of favorites. But this book and Atomic Habits are at the very top of that list.

It’s not only extremely well thought out, organized, and articulated. Bonus: the author’s voice is pleasant and calming. Self-discipline is one of the most important aspects of being human and the reason people either struggle and suffer, or thrive.

To the author, thank you for such a beautiful gift to help the human condition, to help people who want to and are willing to do the work to wake up and thrive by applying your perspectives and methods.
