I appreciated all of the recaps. Great pointers and tips. I'll be intentional about referring back to this book. Thank you Peter

The fact that this book has the science and statistics to back what happens with the people who are disciplined is great. Lots of different things attribute to being disciplined and consistent. This book covers it with studies and research. Im finishing it up now and I will recommend this book to anyone who wants to be disciplined.

Im glad in read the book which was extremely easy to read. I feel that I've been lacking in self-discipline in 2020, the year of uncertainty. Reading this book kinda refreshed my mind regarding this topic of discipline &reminded me of the importance of sticking to goals. How self awareness is important and required in recognizing when our body & souls are battle weary from the constant face off with the chaos life exposes us to. Good read. 4* because i think some subjects covered could of been expounded upon a bit more, however. Book has alot of good information, morsels of insights that clarify somewhat what it takes to be a disciplined individual. Recommend book for those disciplined & undisciplined alike.

Now that I've read and highlighted the action points in this amazing book, my next step is to transcribe key passages onto index cards to make daily review easier.

This book is a great resource to learning about why we have such a hard time being disciplined and also how we can overcome those issue that cause is to be less disciplined. It is broke up into very easy-to-digest chapters. I found the information and direction within very helpful and was able to apply many of the techniques and tools I learned immediately to my own life. I literally saw increases in my discipline and will-power before I finished the book.I would definitely recommend this book for those looking for a simple and informational book on understanding and developing discipline.

Basic information. This was a quick and easy book to read. Good choice to learn the base principles of self discipline.

I don't leave many reviews but I had to for this book since I felt that I got so much out of it, I might as well tell other people about it. In short, it's a stellar and dense read about what motivates people and our brains, and how we can short circuit that and take advantage of it to our self-discipline. It's important to understand what you are battling in procrastination, perfectionism, distractions, and lack of motivation, and that's all addressed here. Honorable mention on the characterization of motivation as a temporary state of mind, where discipline is more automatic. Then more about habit formation and longer lasting behavior modification. Fascinating section on dopamine control, as well as application of the 40% rule that the military has become famous for.Far more than you'd expect but still very accessible and applicable. Overall, just fantastic.

This is the second book of the author that i have read. This book is straightforward with the perfect balance of action steps and "why" they matter. I dislike being told what to do without being told why to do it. This book is a perfect balance of action backed by science.
