Publisher's summary

Your best intentions are not enough. Learn how to scientifically engineer a disciplined existence, become relentless, and never give up.

Whatever you want in your life, self-discipline is the missing piece. Goals will remain dreams if you make the mistake of relying on motivation and your best drawn plans.

The Science of Self-Discipline is a deep look into what allows us to resist our worst impulses and simply execute, achieve, produce, and focus. Every principle is scientifically-driven and dissected to as be actionable and helpful as possible. You'll learn how top performers consistently exercise self-discipline, as well as what drives us on an instinctual, psychological level to act.

This isn't just a book; it's a roadmap to the human psyche and will allow you to accomplish exactly what you set out to do, every time. When you understand what drives your cravings and the true roots of self-discipline, you'll be able to rise above your temporary discomfort and focus on what really matters. Discover every factor that impacts self-discipline for better or worse.

Break free of excuses, distractions, laziness, and temptations.

Listened to it 3 times, so much useful information

Excellent information presented in a straight forward and understand manner. Didn't like the lizard/monkey brain comments because personally speaking I have the mind of God, not a monkey, but everyone is free to believe whatever they perceive as truth.

Great content.

A blessing of metaphysical truths that help us access our best selves. Found the author ages ago from the film What the Bleep Do We Know. Appreciate the healthful approach to life and tactics to be better daily.

worth every credit or dollar you spend on this boo

I was feeling so unmmotivated and unhappy at my job. After searching for a book that would pick me up and change my thoughts I'm glad I chose this book. I'm still at my current job but this helped understand that just because I'm feeling a certain way doesn't mean I have to immediately act on my emotions. discipline yourself. his stories and research done on discipline and habit forming goes well beyond the tools needed to change your life.
