It was okay
I feel like there was a lot of basic common sense information. I came away not really knowing a LOT more but there were a couple of tips that made stuck with me and have helped me be more self disciplined in a few areas of my life. I’ll try some of the other tips out as well – but some just aren’t practical.The book was riddled with typo’s though. It wasn’t too distracting but they could use a good proofreader/editor or something.I thought the “5-minute exercises to build self control” is a bit misleading because I expected the book to be more about that when, in reality, it was short chapters that each didn’t really give practical exercises you can use in your every day life to help build self control.Overall it was an okay book.EDIT: I am upping it to 4 stars just because there was a chapter towards the beginning that talks about excuses for not doing things and how it affects you and THAT chapter really resonated for me and I have made huge strides in self discipline over the last few weeks specifically because it taught me to call out my excuses and do whatever I’m supposed to do anyways. I haven’t missed a day of exercising or cleaning in over 2 weeks because I’ll be like “I’m too stressed to clean” and then I’ll be like “No that’s a f***ing excuse you’re GOING to clean” and then I’ll clean. So props to that chapter!

Cookie Cutter at Best
I found the book to be very cookie cutter, dry, and dull. There were a large amount of typos and a lot of opinions not backed by much fact other than throwing in the word “psychology” throughout each chapter. I will admit that I only got a quarter of the way through the book before I decided to turn to another for more insightful advice, thus the 3 star review instead of a lower rating. It feels like someone asked AI to write a summary of all of the self help books on the market and then published it.
