Publisher's Summary

Your best intentions are not enough. Learn how to scientifically engineer a disciplined existence, become relentless, and never give up.

Whatever you want in your life, self-discipline is the missing piece. Goals will remain dreams if you make the mistake of relying on motivation and your best drawn plans.

The Science of Self-Discipline is a deep look into what allows us to resist our worst impulses and simply execute, achieve, produce, and focus. Every principle is scientifically-driven and dissected to as be actionable and helpful as possible. You'll learn how top performers consistently exercise self-discipline, as well as what drives us on an instinctual, psychological level to act.

This isn't just a book; it's a roadmap to the human psyche and will allow you to accomplish exactly what you set out to do, every time. When you understand what drives your cravings and the true roots of self-discipline, you'll be able to rise above your temporary discomfort and focus on what really matters. Discover every factor that impacts self-discipline for better or worse.

Break free of excuses, distractions, laziness, and temptations.

Horrifically confronting

I loathe the concept of self discipline, and have always been suspicious of it. This book confirmed my worst fears about self discipline, namely that external accountability rather than sincere internal examination is highly effective. Self-alienating and self-invalidating techniques are the vogue right now, and sadly, they work. I don’t want to be a navy seal.
