Sadly, many of us think we do not have any strengths at all, but this couldn’t be further from the truth! Every Spartan had his or her place in society, and equality was a concept perpetuated by focusing on the strengths of the individual. Taking action each day allows us to discover the things we are actually good at, and to learn how we can use them to our advantage. This empowerment of self will be paramount in the solidifying of your success mindset moving forward.

What do you think of when someone says, "daily habits"? Hopefully, it's not just brushing your teeth or waking up at 7am. If you did that, then there's no way your life would be what it is today. If I had to choose one word to sum up what I believe about habits, it would be consistency.

It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change.

Story
One afternoon - after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise - I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books.

You know what the wealthiest of people of all times have in common? Self-discipline. This blend of two seemingly unimportant terms combined by a hyphen has the power to make or break your life, career, and aspirations. It is that one trait that can help turn tables and bridge the gap between you and your goals. It’s easy to get distracted by the things around us, which leads to deviation from the right path. Even comparatively affluent people leading happy lives are bereft of this magical trait, and this is exactly what is keeping them from rising to the apex.

Did you know that 45 percent of your activity is habitual or automated?This means that even though you have beautiful and powerful conscious intentions, your subconscious mind will take over nearly half of the time and automatically guide you towards instant gratification over long term satisfaction. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing, though. You can train your subconscious mind to operate differently. Through a change of your small daily habits, you can change your entire life for the better.

Publisher's summary
Have you ever had a goal that you tried to accomplish but wound up failing for reasons you couldn’t comprehend?
Did you have the motivation to attack this goal only to lose that motivation almost as quickly as it appeared?
Well, I want to tell you that you are not in the minority of folks who have had trouble getting started attaining their goals. All over the world, there are people who have the desire to better their lives but just can’t seem to find the needed ingredient to go out and make it happen. No matter what you want - if it’s to be healthier, wealthier, or happier - your failure to achieve these things most likely didn’t come about because of who you are; they happened because you lacked the necessary self-discipline skills to follow through.
In this book, you will learn how to do away with that troublesome motivation that makes you think you’re on your way to success, so that you can replace it with earned self-discipline that will allow you to finally pinpoint, flesh out, and follow through with whatever it is you want to accomplish!
Before listening to this audiobook, however, you should know that this isn’t your average self-help audiobook because it isn’t going to make a bunch of empty promises about finding success quickly and easily. Self-discipline isn’t something that you can buy, and it isn’t something you can have handed to you. It’s something that comes from within you that can only be built and maintained by you. So, if you’ve had enough of the false starts and goals that just didn’t seem to pan out, I urge you to listen to this audiobook and, ultimately, yourself. Because through self-reflection, and honest, hard work, your reality can go from concrete to putty in your hands!

Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week's meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts' predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight.

When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?
