The Power of Self-Discipline: 5-Minute Exercises to Build Self-Control, Good Habits, and Keep Going When You Want to Give Up (Live a Disciplined Life)

Great read

I'm in the process of reading all of Peter's books (currently read 8). I'm in love with his style of writing and his occasional application of scientific evidence. As a student of the biosciences it's reassuring to see data used in this way. These books are helping me a lot with my anxiety and in re-establishing a discipline that I once had but now with better foundation. 'The Power of Self Discipline' follows a similar pattern to the other books in this series in that it evaluates the core principles behind habitual discipline as well as the exact actions we can take to go about achieving it. I overall couldn't imagine a series of books helping me more than these have, this being my favourite. 5 stars from me.

Very good book but in need of a good proof read. Spelling mistakes were all too frequent and very off putting.

Good read. I particularly enjoyed reading this book. Very helpful tips and easy to read.

There was a lot of good nuggets within here, however it was repetitive. There were also typos throughout and the audible narration skipped out sentences.

I've read dozens of self-help and productivity books but nothing improved my self discipline like this one. I have ADHD, meaning only the most effective systems, mental models, habits and frameworks stick. I've tried dozens and most falter eventually, but this book doesn't. It hits the mark better than anyone else with a detailed breakdown of self-discipline. It explains that the roots of intertia are deeper than habits or life hacks and contains practical, to-the-point explanations and advice. My self discipline and wellbeing have benefitted immensely from this book.

Arrived in good quality and quickly. Haven't read it yet due to lack of self discipline

This book is a relatively quick read that underlines some basic tactics to use in order to increase your self-discipline. It is perfect for new readers, albeit for a handful of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that could potentially confuse. Having read through this book and highlighting key points along the way. I now have a series of potentially influence statements and small tactics to help me in my task to become disciplined. For future books, please take extra care in reviewing and revising content in order to make your books stand out. Because for that reason I won’t be looking to purchase anymore.

If you want to be more disciplined or better in this area this book is perfect. It is clear and concise, and at the end you will end up with many tools to improve your discipline.

Vorrei aver letto questo libro 20 anni fa (solo che è stato scritto nel 2021), penso che mi avrebbe cambiato la vita. Dal titolo sembrerebbe uno di quegli inutili manuali, molto americani, per migliorare sè stessi e avere successo, che sembrano un po' fatti in serie... Nella realtà è molto pratico, individua davvero i meccanismi che stanno dietro il nostro procrastinare le cose che dobbiamo fare e insegna alcune tecniche per riuscire a spezzare questo cerchio di rinvio e sensi di colpa...Ho scoperto che pure il "fare qualcos'altro invece della cosa che dobbiamo fare", (del tipo: dovrei fare una cosa che non ho proprio voglia di fare, e allora non la faccio, però al suo posto pulisco il bagno oppure stiro) non è un'azione utile a cambiare il nostro atteggiamento ma invece lo rafforza (e io che invece ero contenta di fare almeno qualcosa di utile invece della cosa che dovevo fare... ) Ne consiglio la lettura a tutti (almeno a quanti conoscolo l'inglese), qualcosa di utile secondo me lo trova chiunque, sia per il lavoro che per la vita privata.

A well structured and valuable book. It has a lot of insightful and practical ideas is and is enjoyable to read. Can highly recommend.
