What this audiobook helped me with was to understand that I don't have to overkill myself with work. If I have finished my tasks for the day I can rest. Usually I would start next days tasks, whereas I would burn out and hate everyone around me. You do have to plan not only your work but rest time as well.

I've heard the audiobook, and the way I'd describe it would be "An exciting journey of discovery, knowledge, and reward" :)

A book with good ideas weakened by banal presentation.

Good fundamentals.

One of the best non-fiction books I've read this year. It's almost a lecture, a program you strictly follow step by step. All steps of the formula make sense and help you think about life, your purpose/goals, and how to achieve them.

This is the kind of book I'll definitely re-read in the future.

Here are my notes on the book

10 characteristics common among highly disciplined achievers

1. They have a strong well-defined sense of purpose. They know what they want
2. They seek out positive role models for inspiration and learning.
3. They use sensory-rich visions and a vivid imagination to set the stage for their own achievement.
4. They have a positive sensory orientation. They expect to succeed rather than fail.
5. They have a deep-rooted belief in their ability to achieve; they are immeasurably self-assured.
6. They have the ability to plan and organize. they can break down what they want to achieve into manageable steps and set priorities that let them accomplish the most important things first.
7. They know how and when to acquire essential knowledge and skills. they're not intimidated by the thought of having to learn something new.
8. They have patience; the passing of time doesn't bother them; they'll keep working toward their goal for as long as it takes.
9. They persevere; they're stubborn and they don't give up even when the going gets tough
10. They view work as a pleasure because work is bringing them closer and closer to the realization of the goal that will be their final reward.

7-step formula for developing self-discipline

1. Create a purpose
2. Find role models/mentors
3. Sensory goal setting
4. Planning
5. Time
6. Knowledge and skills
7. Persistence & perseverance

I highly recommend the book ✨

"Working towards a lifelong goal, shouldn't feel like a sacrifice. Because that goal is what you want more than anything in the world..."

A solid book consisting of a series of brilliant (yet frankly somewhat intuitive) suggestions for mastering the art of 'self discipline'.

I frankly found myself smiling smugly throughout a good chunk of it - since I had already mastered so much of what was suggested to achieve self-discipline... and realised what contrasted me with my peers who essentially fell behind (they wanted a quick fix, were prepared to give up after an obstacle, and lashed out at those who didn't follow the same path as them).

"Don't blame other people for your setbacks, and don't chalk it up to bad luck. You make your own luck in this life, and you have to solve your own problems. Learn to tackle them head on, be as realistic and level-headed as possible."

A certainly remarkable quote from the book - but my whole perception of 'luck' is in chaos currently, for I am unsure as to whether I am inherently unlucky or am simply making my own bad luck.

Solid read. Dropped a star simply because of how you have to rely on a separate book as well as you listen to the audiobook... but you can still get through ~80% of the book without this.

Self-Discipline: The Neuroscience by Ray Clear offers a simple introduction to the connection between self-discipline and neuroscience. The book provides practical tips and relatable examples to help readers improve their self-discipline. However, it lacks depth and organization, and the writing style can be repetitive. While it serves as a good starting point, those seeking a more comprehensive exploration may need to look for additional resources.

[Angel Torres · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is filled with great tips and ideas, but most of them if not all of them are not original and are better explained and expanded elsewhere.

Also, more than a few stories here are false. I don't know if the author lied on purpose or if he didn't do the proper research but yeah... don't believe everything you read kids.

[Renske · Rating 5 out of 5]

I feel like I have read the one book that sums it all together.
The part that was most sticking to me was about the “journey of self-discipline, it starts with imagination”.
Yesss I am all about imagination ✨

I really love how it starts with a short list of steps, and than after this you get an explanation of those steps. It makes it tangible.

This definitely is quite an ‘old fashioned’ style of advice but I found it so useful in how to navigate success and to see through negative barriers. I think it’s something I will have to re read so I can update the goals I have in life. I listened to the audiobook while I would work and found it made me almost 2x more productive!

[Emily Guida · Rating 5 out of 5]

Listened to the YouTube audio highlights from the book on cassette tape. The info was from the 1980s but it is all still good and practical knowledge for self-development, goal setting, and mastering your mindset.

[Diana González · Rating 4 out of 5]

Muchas técnicas específicas y puntuales para lograr metas a largo, mediano y corto plazo. Mucho de ello está basado en la modificación de la conducta desde la teoría cognitivo conductual.

[Andrew Borg · Rating 3 out of 5]

it is good. a bit dated as it refers to cassette tapes for example. i also did not learnt anything new although that is not to say you won't.

[Jessi.caffeine · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book can be a good start to get motivated, it offers tips and practical steps to plan and achieve your goals; however, examples were not inspiring or probably true at all.

[Annamarie · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book may have good advice, but it was very difficult to read past the introduction. In the intro there seems to be things that are untrue from the perspective of a woman and perhaps the perspective of a black, brown, or minority person. The introduction seems to point out that poverty in society is the result of people not having self discipline. There are other things in the intro that seem to be untrue or that I take issue with and even in an example that was used like the woman and piano. I get what the author is trying to say in general, but there are many circumstances where this isn't true. There are so many other factors that enable a person to be successful and not just self dicipline. There's privilege. There's socio-economic status, who you belong to, opportunity, ability to have higher education or trade education. The intro should have been different. It totally turned me off to reading the book.

[Philip Froloshky · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is good, although it presents the principles of the discipline that are found in every other book about discipline. It's nothing new, yes, but if you're not familiar with the principles, this read would do the job well to introduce you. Perhaps the only thing I felt was missing was the comparison of motivation and discipline. It wasn't mentioned anywhere, but it would be useful. The book definitely motivates, but the motivation after the book won't last forever...

As with all such books, the same things are repeated several times. One of the pluses in this regard is that the book was short.

And by the way, the book has almost nothing to do with neuroscience, despite the title.

Learning the basic and overall knowledge of a certain concept allows creativity. If you know nothing of the subject, it's hard to convey your spin on the subject despite how talented you are. Even the highly regarded genius, Einstein manipulated the flow of time, to master theory of relativity and created a more accurate one. This book explains multiple ways through neuroscience on how we can maintain our self discipline.

[Sheri · Rating 3 out of 5]

Every once in a while, it's nice to pick up a book that has a step-by-step process, something to break up the fiction or non-fiction reading you're doing and make you reflect on yourself rather than indulge in escapism. Though this book was repetitive at times, it did help drill in some positive affirmations and the goal-writing activities and practices were helpful.

[Tessy678 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Audio booked it so it was like 4 hours of audio. It’s a good one for learning the fundamentals of disciple and time management. But a LOT of the book was very repetitive, not for dramatic effective but I think due to poor choice in writing😭

[Varun Nalluri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really liked this book especially the procrastination chapter

[Bella · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. It had so many helpful takeaways. Whatever your goal, you need self discipline and self discipline isn't simply about telling yourself to work harder.

[Younes · Rating 3 out of 5]

Listened to it in the car during my commuting to work, so didn't absorb the informations as I should have. I may read or listen to the highlights next week.

[Aimee Guerrero · Rating 3 out of 5]

Listened to the Audiobook. It was ok. Most of the information I have already read in other books. But there are also a few new principles I captured.

[Latisha Mc · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are some great point to become more disciplined. I was already familiar with a lot of these concepts. I would still recommend this as a read for awareness.
