  • Exercises that build inner strength and character
  • The changes in mindsets that you need to make in order to reinforce self-discipline

  • Formulate a manageable plan for whatever goal you have in mind
  • Control your diet and manage your weight despite the temptation of food

I really like this book.

This book was very helpful without wasting any of your time. It is practical, easy to listen, and immediately useful. It is the type of book that even now listens can successfully and quickly get through. You will find yourself putting the suggestions into action right away. The focus, as always in his books is on practical exercises and techniques, rather than excessive theory or demonstrations of how clever and outstanding the author is.

consice book

Very concise book, I love that. It's just what I needed. It teaches you several strategies and talks about many potential pitfalls but focuses on the most effective way to be successful—to develop your self-discipline.

Well-written and well-documented,

this is an informative book for knowledge workers. Corporate managers and university administrators will particularly find it useful and applicable. I highly recommend this book for those facing a time crunch or are wanting to get ahead.

Great book!

The book is interesting as it summarizes good habits nicely. However, there are better ones that explain actions better. It is the type of book that even nonreaders can successfully and quickly get through.

I have improved my self-control...

In any event, when I want to put off things like working out, I don't put it off any longer. This audiobook clarified this marvel as well as gave some basic yet ground-breaking knowledge.

Highly recommended audiobook

I recommend it to anyone wanting to get a better grip on any aspect of their life, even time management. The rules we should live by are relevant to us all. The quotes at the beginning of each chapter are great too.
