Publisher's Summary

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.

highly recommend for people who want to quit.

it is the best solution to get rid of harmful habits that can avoid successful goals, meanings, and what truly makes your happy and a asset to the community, not a liability.

A good read for someone struggling with basic task

The book was extremely easy to understand and problem solving part of it was good but very much expected like nothing out of ordinary.

Meh.

I’m not sure if it was the writer’s choice of words and writing or the readers lack of lustre, but this book was difficult to stay focussed on. If anything it’s more about procrastinating than addiction.

relatable but pointless

maybe the spark to some people would be that some of the examples of characters in this audiobook would be that they are relatable. the whole thing is seemingly pointless as I had bought it for real insight and solutions, not talking about what it is like to be lazy and such.

Bland

This audiobook was a struggle to listen to. The narrator's voice was intensely monotone, and I had a hard time concentrating on the content. Nearly fell asleep on the bus, walking and biking lol.
