Mind Over Matter: The Self-Discipline to Execute Without Excuses, Control Your Impulses, and Keep Going When You Want to Give Up

by Peter Hollins

What you receive in life is dictated by your self-discipline. The more you have, the more you get. Will you settle for less than you desire? Mind Over Matter is not a textbook on self-discipline, nor is it a gentle and drawn-out discussion. It is a toolbox to keep you in motion and in action towards your goals. It pulls no punches as it provides direct techniques to ensure that your actions match your intentions - a difficult task. Self-discipline is not about grinding it out from morning until night. Let’s work smarter and accomplish more with less effort. 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. •Learn the main emotional, psychological, and biological obstacles you are battling.• Understand and break the 5-step cycle of laziness that keeps you glued to the couch, unhappier than ever. •Confront yourself with a series of direct questions that force self-awareness and action.• An insightful formula for maximizing willpower and how to manipulate it. •What your discipline style is.• A guest chapter from bestselling author Stephen Guise on using mini habits to discipline your thoughts.

This is not a scientific paper, nor is it a 100% solution for everyone, but it does have some great information for improving your self-discipline. Not everything will apply to everyone, but most people will be able to take something away from the reading. I enjoy these short, self-improvement books. They provide both the implementation and the reasons why without boring to tears or forcing some spiritual agenda on you. Well written and well narrated.

I couldn’t finish it. There are so many better books on motivation that aren’t so boring.

All of the self-help books more or less say the same point, but we need reminders about it from time to time. This book has micro-habits as one of it important points.
