We all have that feeling of getting better and improving our lives and the lives of people around us. With all the distraction circling around us, we tend to loose our focus or develop self control. To be honest, in today’s time our brain is in constant chaos and bombarded with thousands of informations on a daily basis just like my brain is being bombarded with information at a light speed, at the time of writing this review.

Self Under Control by Abhilash C S - this tiny book pools in the quintessential wisdom behind self-discipline, (even neuropsychology behind self-discipline,) presents it succinctly and lucidly to help you cultivate the unwavering spirit of commitment, determination, build resilience, and fortified self-confidence.
In just about 10 chapters and over 100 pages, Abhilash gives us a well-curated roadmap to success. You see, self-discipline is the basis of success. And when you achieve that you are halfway through achieving your life goals. But self-discipline is the biggest hurdle and also an imperative milestone, like an entrance exam to your favourite course. ©

David Goggins puts it perfectly "Even the best pep talk or self-help hack is nothing but a temporary fix". It won't rewire your brain. It won't uplift your life. MOTIVATION CHANGES EXACTLY NOBODY. Life is yours and you are alone who can fix it.
Self under control is the first and the last book the majority of people need to lead a meaningful and disciplined life.
The book talks about the role of mental resistance, your brain, fear, emotions, and digital influence in killing your drive and what it takes you you build back a rock-solid disciplined life.
I am not going to lie here but this one book beats many many self-help books that are fooling you for decades.

One of the best books Ive read!!! Single handedly explains all the concepts of self discipline and how to get things done! I personally feel that if we apply all the concepts in this book more than half of our lives can be sorted! Really very impressive.
