About this listen

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.

How there’s ways to beat addiction to book not just involving discipline

It just doesn’t talk about discipline, it talks about good habits and your daily routines that can help you. What stood out is everything that comes out of your mouth when your supposed to do something is an excuse for your laziness

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.

Brief review: excellent content, average narration

Would you listen to The Science of Self-Discipline again? Why?

I would listen to this again for the content, absolutely. The narration is not as good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

N/A

What three words best describe Peter Hollins’s performance?

Good but uninspiring

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Science of Self-Discipline?

There is a *lot* of good information in this book to help with self-discipline, particularly handling urges.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended content for self-discipline. The narration is not great, but not bad either.
