Self-discipline is a wonderful thing. It can mean the difference between achieving goals or not achieving goals. It can give a person a greater sense of self-worth. It can allow someone the ability to work harder for a shorter amount of time and accomplish much more than before. Self-discipline can make the process of dropping bad habits in favor of good ones much easier to accomplish. People who have self-discipline are happier in life. They have a greater sense of purpose overall and a greater sense of accomplishment in everyday life..

You think your lack of willpower is why you always fail. You think it’s why you can’t lose weight, succeed as an entrepreneur, and procrastinate and waste your day. You think if only you had willpower like other people, life would be different. Everything would change. But You Are Wrong. Will isn’t something you have or don’t. It’s not genetic or gifted to you. It has to be developed. Strengthened like a muscle, built like an athlete from amateur to pro. It’s not about having the “right stuff.” This is about training.

Self help that’s useful
First off let me start by saying I’m not a big self help book fan. Usually only read them or listen when it’s one that’s required for work. Took this one on a whim and wasn’t disappointed. I’m a big fan of the Energy Bus and this book does for the mind what that did for team building. It covers the bases of what you need to look for in yourself and your behaviors to make achieving your goals a reality. The acronym for FEAR is my favorite of all the ones I’ve come across over the year. One of my big apprehensions with self help books is piss poor monotonous narration. I am happy to say this was not he case. The narrator was able to keep an energetic and engaging tone throughout. Very useful and enjoyable. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Self Discipline - Personal Commitment For Success
This audio is really a short listen however, it is chock full of very practical advice that determines anyone can achieve goals through self discipline. Although self discipline seems like a means of depriving oneself, the author describes it as a behavioral and psychological outlook that promotes changes once mastered. The book defines self discipline in the most general terms, the purpose and use, the psychological changes that occur once one is engaged, and most importantly, the potential for anyone to benefit from the skill once developed. Variation in application of self discipline is discussed indicating that completion can be a small task achieved in several days or a long term goal that involves years to become realized. Methodology is discussed in detail that depicts a logical common sense approach to focusing upon goals while creating positive thoughts and behaviors.
The narrator was very successful in telling information while maintaining the interest of the listener. The voice was commanding with an optimum amount of flow or rhythm that makes comprehension simple. Speech is presented in a fashion that engages the listener in the belief that he is a professional that is most aware of subject matter. Voice quality is excellent with a natural flow and rhythm making the listener aware that information is deseminated without a preachy or lectured feel. Speech is articulate with proper word formation that is clear and comprehensive.Rate of speech is easy and flows well so that listener does not become lost or disinterested. Voice inflection is congruent to subject matter. I would suggest this audio is worth listening to more than once as concepts are adaptable in a manner circumstances for maximum benefit. Awesome audio that is packed with great advice while being relevant to a wide scope of listeners. Highly recommend. This audio was provided for the purpose of review however, thoughts and opinions are related without solitation.

I don’t usually listen to self help books but was asked to listen to this one and leave a review so I came in with an open mind.
I felt this book hit a lot of important points on what can cause your self discipline to become distracted and explained how we can retrain our minds to become more reliable with meeting the goals you set. Overall I feel this book is definitely worth the listen.

Simple, easy concepts; good place to start
This little self-help book is a decent place to start if you're just lost about how to wrestle yourself into some self-discipline. The book lays out some basic concepts, like tackling one task at a time, take on meditation, treat yourself well, etc. Then the book goes on to give you examples of how to carry out each of those ideas.
My main complaint is that the book blurb over sells the book, promising too much. This is a short self-help book and I don't feel it can be comprehensive. Self-discipline is a subtle skills with many ways to get distracted, etc. It seems it would take far longer than 3 hours to cover all the issues with this subject. This sentence in particular is over-promising: This guide packs all the information you need to be able to become more disciplined in all your endeavors, to reach your goals, and help you make the most out of every opportunity that comes your way.
So, yeah, this book is a decent place to start, or maybe you just need a little motivational bump, but it won't solve all your self- discipline problems. 4/5 stars
The Narration: Cliff Weldon has a very pleasant voice to listen to. He does start off a little hesitant, with a few odd pauses here or there. But this soon smooths out and by the half-way point he sounds like a professional motivational speaker. His pacing was good and I felt he was invested in the subject, never sounding bored. There were no technical issues with the recording. 4.5/5 stars.

Three hours and four minutes of excellent advice told in a clear and concise manner. So many of these 'self help' books are mostly filler with good advice hidden between mounds of waffle, not here. The narration is engaging and adds life to the text keeping one interested and attentive from start to finish.

The tools to take control
We all know what we need to do life in order to loose weight, be alert, on time & be fit etc but this book gives you the tools to change your mindset in order to achieve such goals and ambitions.
It shows how you can make little changes bit by bit and how they will result in positive outcomes.
A very inspiring well narrated audiobook that everyone could take something from.

Not the greatest help
Concentrates more on getting sleep, healthy diet, lots of common sense advice that we already know we should do. Only a small part of this book is practical, insightful help. Also a lot of comments are along the lines “you should overcome this because” “if you fix this you’ll be better” but doesn’t develop on HOW to overcome/fix.

A balanced, rounded, introduction to willpower
As someone who seeks to reduce their tendency to procrastinate I was interested in the themes of Self Discipline explored in this book, and how to improve my own. The ability to say "no" to people, and to increase my decisiveness were also skills I hoped this book would help me begin to master. This book covers sleep, diet, mindfulness and relaxation, motivation, expectations, willpower, and more.
I found the section on sleep and diet particularly interesting. I think it's really important that we think of ourselves as a whole, and don't expect to be able to increase our concentration or self discipline if our energy is low because we're neither resting nor refuelling sufficiently. These changes are often impractical for anyone whose medical issues complicate the ability to regulate them, but most of the population can pick and choose the tips for wellbeing that are appropriate for themselves.
I found the most useful chapters were those on discovering one's own motivating factors, and the strategies to help overcome individual weaknesses (procrastination in my case,) by developing personal strengths that will aid willpower. Those sections reminded me of The Five Love Languages, and how they encourage individuals to understand their own needs and drives in order to find fulfillment.
I liked narrator Cliff Weldon's voice but his narration was often very stilted which made it more challenging to listen to and requiring a greater degree of conversation. (Almost like someone reading from an autocue or on a screen that was too small.) I did love the character in his voice, though, and would like to see how he does with fiction, as I think he would be a much more engaging narrator of a story than a guide.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is hoping to increase their willpower and self-discipline, and wishes to integrate the techniques into all the key areas of their life.
*I received this audiobook free of charge in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
