    Doing things you hate is a skill. And it's a skill that is always in high demand.

    Look, you can teach hard skills. You can teach a monkey to do lots of things that humans can do. But you can't force them to work without a monkey revolt on your hands.

    All growth comes from discomfort and the ability to push through.

    How To Do Things You Hate is a primer on how you can embody the self-discipline to live the life you want. It's not easy; otherwise everyone would be there. It requires surmounting boulders, crossing oceans, and not a small amount of pain. It's always worth it, but are you able to get there? Are you tough enough? Can you find the motivation inside you somewhere? Are you able to taking it on the chin?


    After this book, you will be able to resoundingly say YES!


    Self-discipline and willpower are the best habits, because everything can stack on them.

    Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.


    Not just more productivity, but you'll start to notice that your to-do list will always be DONE.

    -Diagnose and understand the exact type of laziness problem you have and why your butt is always glued to the couch

    -The value of discomfort and how to love it with daily exercises and practices that make you absolutely monk-like

    -The incredibly valuable 90-second rule of emotional volatility and self-mastery

    -The doom loop of procrastination and how you are probably caught in it right now, every day.

    -How you should approach your daily tasks like a pro athlete with daily routines, and activation modes
