Great advice for controlling impulses

I, like I assume everyone, have trouble doing what I should be doing day to day. I play video games when I should be cleaning and I sit the family down for a movie when we should be going for a hike. I really enjoyed the straight to the point approach of this book in controlling the impulses to do easy or lazy things, when there are better things to do.

It doesn't get preachy, and is a quick listen.

Impressed

I've listened to this almost three times now while I workout. Many of us go through life usually looking for advice from friends, those friends however are most often likely to tell you something aligned with what you want to hear. The information in Mind Over Matter is solid and succinct. When it comes to self discipline this book tells you what it is you need to know the way you NEED to hear it. Great read if you're looking to consistently improve on your self-discipline mastery and help you stop letting your thoughts get in your own way.

Easy listen, great content & concepts!

I have been on a kick on books related to the mind lately and love this book. One of the examples happens to use exercise as one of the goals, and I love the one push-up a day idea! The narration is clear and easy to listen to as well!

Easy listen and straightforward

Loved it...Very insightful and helps you change the way you view being self disciplined. Some of it is stuff you already probably know but often times we know what we should be doing and still wont do it. This book motivates you to keep going and is a reminder for me to NOT GIVE UP ON MYSELF!

Great read over all, it definitely put me in a different mindset about being disciplined.

A How-to guide to Self-Discipline

This is not a scientific paper, nor is it a 100% solution for everyone, but it does have some great information for improving your self-discipline. Not everything will apply to everyone, but most people will be able to take something away from the reading. I enjoy these short, self-improvement books. They provide both the implementation and the reasons why without boring to tears or forcing some spiritual agenda on you. Well written and well narrated.

It covers all the important aspects, and gives plenty of encouragement to get going, and I do like all the examples givens - so all together a very good listen to help dealing with procrastination.
