How to Do Things You Hate

Self-Discipline to Suffer Less, Embrace the Suck, and Achieve Anything (Live a Disciplined Life, Book 16)

De: Peter Hollins

Narrado por: Russell Newton

Doing things you hate is a skill. And it's a skill that is always in high demand.

Look, you can teach hard skills. You can teach a monkey to do lots of things that humans can do. But you can't force them to work without a monkey revolt on your hands.

All growth comes from discomfort and the ability to push through.

How to Do Things You Hate is a primer on how you can embody the self-discipline to live the life you want. It's not easy; otherwise everyone would be there. It requires surmounting boulders, crossing oceans, and not a small amount of pain. It's always worth it, but are you able to get there? Are you tough enough? Can you find the motivation inside you somewhere? Are you able to taking it on the chin?

After this book, you will be able to resoundingly say "Yes"!

Self-discipline and willpower are the best habits, because everything can stack on them.

Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for more than a dozen years and is a best-selling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path toward success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.

Not just more productivity, but you'll start to notice that your to-do list will always be done.

• Diagnose and understand the exact type of laziness problem you have and why your butt is always glued to the couch.
• The value of discomfort and how to love it with daily exercises and practices that make you absolutely monk-like.
• The incredibly valuable 90-second rule of emotional volatility and self-mastery.
• The doom loop of procrastination and how you are probably caught in it right now, every day.
• How you should approach your daily tasks like a pro athlete with daily routines and activation modes.

Helpful advice to get things done

This is by far the most helpful practical book on self discipline I have read. I wish it were longer.

Good Information

Overall good book, lots of useful information to structure new habits & create mental toughness. Some of the information in the book was stuff that I already knew but a good review.

Game Changer

I have listened all the way through and I'm listening for a second time now to make sure things really stick because they are so helpful. This book hit home for me and not only made me realize why I was procrastinating, it gave me tangible ways to address those reasons. To sum up the book, procrastination needs to be dealt with at the emotional level, not the time-management level. As the author says, you can't tell someone who procrastinates to "be more productive " any more than you can tell a depressed person to "be more happy". This book helps you identify your barriers and how to change your mindset to overcome them. Highly recommend.

The actionable steps you can take!

I love that this book gives you ideas on how you can get things done instead of explaining the philosophy and leaving it up to you! This book was short yet more helpful than most popular books out there

This is a deep dive into becoming a better, well rounded, productive you by tackling the sources and not just the symptoms of procrastination— everything from mindset patterns and negative self talk, to chemicals or lack there of in the brain that may be the culprit. The narrator’s tone, articulation, and pace kept me engaged and conveyed the points of this book beautifully! Do yourself a favor and take a listen. I definitely don’t believe you’ll regret it!
