About this listen

Learn to take control of your life through an in-depth understanding of motivation

What is motivation? Why do we feel totally paralyzed to do certain things, and utterly unable to quit others? Too many people conclude, falsely, that they are just lazy or lacking in willpower. But what they lack is a correct understanding of their own minds, of motivation, and the way that it operates.

This audiobook is a self-help manual and a rigorous analysis of the psychology of motivation. It will teach you to stop procrastinating, kick your addictions, circumvent laziness, take control of your actions, and achieve your goals, by thoroughly understanding the way your mind works.

In it, you’ll learn:

  • What the nature of motivation is, on its deepest psychological level
  • Why addiction and procrastination are two sides of the same coin
  • Why there’s no fundamental difference between a physical and psychological addiction
  • Why willpower is rarely the solution to anything
  • Why and how emotions motivate

You’ll also learn 15 powerful strategies for motivating yourself, why they work, and how to apply them to your own life. By the end of this audiobook, you’ll possess all the tools you need to take firm control of your daily existence.

Aptly named and an interesting insight into one's predicaments. In depth but not so much a how-to, more a guide to think internally.

Good book to revisit

There’s certainly some great advice if you are struggling with getting things done. Nothing groundbreaking. Very pleasant to listen to.

Some good points but can get bogged down in theory and large words that wouldn't suit a layman, tough listen at times but good nuggets of info to keep you going

Boring but useful
