Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The human brain contains an estimated 100 billion neurons, and neuroscientists have discovered that some people are more capable of self-discipline than others. Self-discipline is a skill you can master if you are willing to put in the effort.#2 Self-discipline and focus work together to help you achieve your goals. If you are constantly faced with temptation, your self-discipline will eventually run out. In the same way it is impossible for a person to lift weights for 24 hours without a break, it is also impossible for a person to exercise their willpower for 24 hours without taking a break to replenish it.#3 Self-discipline is the process of doing what you know you have to do, even when you don't feel like it. It is about doing what you know is right, even when you don't feel like it.
