Self-Discipline: Mental Toughness Mindset: Increase Your Grit and Focus to Become a Highly Productive (and Peaceful!) Person
This Mindset and Exercises Will Help You Build Everlasting Self-Discipline and Unbeatable Willpower Imagine that you have this rare kind of power that enables you to maintain iron resolve, crystal clarity, and everyday focus to gradually realize all of your dreams by consistently ticking one goal after another off your to-do list.
Way too often, people and their minds don't really play in one team.Wouldn’t that be profoundly life-changing to utilize that power to make the best partners with your brain?This rare kind of power is a mindset.
The way you think, the way you perceive and handle both the world around you and your inner reality, will ultimately determine the quality of your life. A single shift in your perception can trigger meaningful results.
Life can be tough. Whenever we turn, there are obstacles blocking our way. Some are caused by our environment, and some by ourselves.
Yet, we all know people who are able to overcome them consistently, and, simply speaking, become successful. And stay there! What really elevates a regular Joe or Jane to superhero status is the laser-sharp focus, perseverance, and the ability to keep on going when everyone else would have quit.
I have, for a long time, studied the lives of the most disciplined people on this planet.
In this book, you are going to learn their secrets. No matter if your goals are financial, sport, relationship, or habit-changing oriented, this book covers it all. Today, I want to share with you the science-based insights and field-tested methods that have helped me, my friends, and my clients change their lives and become real-life go-getters.Here are some of the things you will learn from this ✅What the “positive thinking trap” means, and how exactly should you use the power of positivity to actually help yourself instead of holding yourself back?
✅What truly makes us happy and how does that relate to success? Is it money? Social position? Friends, family? Health? No. There’s actually something bigger, deeper, and much more fundamental behind our happiness. You will be surprised to find out what the factor that ultimately drives us and keeps us going is, and this discovery can greatly improve your life.
✅Why our Western perception of both happiness and success are fundamentally wrong, and how those misperceptions can kill your chances of succeeding?
✅Why relying on willpower and motivation is a very bad idea, and what to hold on to instead? This is as important as using only the best gasoline in a top-grade sports car.
✅You will learn what the common denominator of the most successful and disciplined people on this planet is – Navy SEALS and other special forces, Shaolin monks, top performing CEOs and Athletes, they, in fact, have a lot in common.
✅Why your entire life can be viewed as a piece of training, and what are the rules of this training?
✅What the XX-th century Russian Nobel-Prize winner and long-forgotten genius Japanese psychotherapist can teach you about the importance of your emotions and utilizing them correctly in your quest to becoming a self-disciplined and a peaceful person?
✅How modern science can help you overcome temptation and empower your will, and why following strict and inconvenient diets or regimens can actually help you achieve your goals in the end?
✅How can you win by failing and why giving up on some of your goals can actually be a good thing?
✅How to maintain your success once you achieve it?

"What we cherish most (even if we don't consciously know about it) is being able to exercise our own judgement and make our own decisions". This perhaps is the essence of the book. The author is absolutely right that if we can "avoid dwelling on any repetitive negative thoughts", we can live a happy life. And the most important suggestion is indeed worthy of note: "If you can pair a difficult or unpleasant with positive feelings, over time the task will actually become enjoyable". How true.

Must read
An excellent well-written source to become a better you. Every chapter was well though out and applied directly to my life, spelling out my bad habits and laying a path for me to improve. Everyone should read this. Period. I started improving on my self-discipline by the 30% Mark and now I feel ready and prepared to hit my goals.

I have to say one of the best books I have read about self-discipline and the chapter that got me was the one about eliminating the word try. The narrator even said do or do not there is no try. However, he never mentioned the Star Wars reference and just left it as is which I thought was powerful enough. It is true and I have learned that using the word try can be a death sentence for people. I had my own battles in my life with my knee and if I had listened to the advice of people warning me about high impact on my knee I would not have had success in my fitness journey. By the way, my surgeon did not give me that advice but other people which I never listened to and my surgeon told me just keep lifting and I should be fine and I can actually run up hills now so never listen to those people who playa hate on you and eliminate the word try. This is a good book that goes into that and other types of meditation options and things to be aware of like stress and how to manage things.

This book has been extremely helpful to me in developing more self discipline; even before I was halfway through I was applying many of the suggestions and getting positive results. I enjoyed that it wasn’t a “rah-rah” hyped up presentation, but just sound, logical thought processes to build my self discipline. I will definitely be reading more of Ian Tuhovsky’s books, and reviewing this one from time to time.

Great book!
This book actually helped fix my routine. The most important thing that this author highlighted is that we keep seeking instant gratification with our efforts which could be the biggest hindrance to our ultimate success and discipline. Certainly pointed me towards a better and efficient way of life.

This book summarizes several techniques for being self-disciplined in order to get what you want in life. Sometimes is a little bit shallow in some topics. But in general I ENJOYED the book

Very good book about self-discipline, ir has a realistic aproach and backs it up with some theories and research results of what it predicts, plus it is written in a direct manner and goes to the point about the themes is talking about.

Valuable read on self-discipline
Many books are available on the topic of self-discipline and this is one of the better ones. Logically laid out, with very good practical examples. I definitely recommend!
