About this listen

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.

Full of interesting ideas.
Easy to absorb. The science is there but I'm no way overwhelming. Great little self help book.

Short and to the point

I have the motivation, but no discipline and so this was a good way to learn about methods of gaining discipline and to confirm my intuition that discipline is what I'm lacking. Some of the studies discussed offer an insight as to why I have always lacked discipline. I have a few tasks from the book that I need to consider and adapt to my life in order to become disciplined.

Useful summaries of each chapter
