I set a goal to develop self-confidence and feel relaxed in all kinds of social settings. I was, and still am, an introverted lone wolf who needs solitude more than I need other people. However, my will was strong. I knew I needed to make this change in order to stop limiting my personal growth, something I found and still find is one of my most important values.
This deep desire kept me going, despite my personality being extremely unsuited to social settings. For example, in in Oregon, teenage sisters Hanna age 16 and Haylee age 14 lifted a 3,pound kg tractor to save their father, who was pinned underneath it. It was their will — their immense desire to save their father — that gave them superhuman strength.
If we choose to see the obstacles as hurdles, we can leap over them. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward. However, thinking of a problem as a hurdle means approaching it as something that you can possibly walk around or leap over, but a barrier sounds like something that is impermeable and a fixed limitation.
Problem-solving skills are exactly that — skills. For this reason, as a great exercise for building self-discipline and mental resilience, I strongly suggest exposing yourself to difficult tasks. Embrace problems in your life and look at dealing with difficulties as training yourself to see problems as hurdles instead of barriers.
Exert willpower to deal with the hard problems, instead of looking for the easiest way out. Consider several ways to tackle the issue and try to visualize how each solution can help you leap over the hurdle. Most people would consider it an impermeable barrier. Game over, say goodbye to your dreams. You, as a mentally resilient and self-disciplined person will look at it as a hurdle. What can you do to leap over it and keep going, despite such a difficulty being thrown in your way?
Let me explain why, but first, some curious facts… The numbers are terrifying. What do you think? Even if they won millions of dollars, later on they would be in the same spot as they are today — if not in an even worse situation. When your financial situation improves and as a person interested in building self-discipline, it most likely will , it will ensure that you continue exerting self- control with money.
Consequently, managing your complaints is a great exercise to improve your self-control. Starting today, try to go without complaining for as long as you can. Such mental training will not only improve your impulse self-control, but also make you a more positive person.
In contrast, what do you get out of complaining besides ruining your mood? Unlike taking on a business loan to achieve a return on investment that is higher than the interest rate — a practice that, when done wisely, can enrich your future self — consumer loans only serve to satisfy the desire for instant gratification, while robbing sometimes spectacularly your future self.
Just like that, you can erase all of them and finally gain peace of mind. Would you still go into debt to finance your toys?
Second, materialistic rewards give fleeting happiness and often come with more problems than benefits. Just ask any owner of a Lamborghini how much fun it is to see people constantly taking pictures of their car, how fun it is to spend thousands of dollars for a simple check-up, or how stressed-out they are in the parking lot, afraid of an envious driver of a beat-up car dinging their shiny vehicle.
Instead, support your self- discipline with intrinsic motivators — internal rewards, such as doing something out of a need to grow as a person, achieve more independence, realize your full potential, enjoy yourself, learn, or explore. What difference does it make that reaching a goal takes you longer than you planned?
Will you retreat to the bottom of the hill and forever stare at its peak, frustrated by the dissatisfying pace of the climb? Another mistake is the assumption that if something is slow in the beginning, it will stay that way. When I started my career as a self-published author, I tried several different genres.
Things were going slow at the beginning because I needed to figure out which genre and style fitted me best. Once I established the proper direction, I released my first bestseller, then the second, and soon there was a snowball effect.
How wise would it have been to give up during the first several months, frustrated by the slow pace? If you lack the self-control needed to work in a focused way, give yourself a challenging deadline to enforce concentration. To further motivate myself to work quickly, I established a reward for performing the task on time: reading the new autobiography of Richard Branson, one of my business idols.
This simple trick can become one of your most powerful allies toward increasing your productivity. The new, greatly shortened period of work should reduce your resistance to getting started, and the challenge of doing it more quickly should bring out some excitement that will additionally fuel your resolve to get it done. I knew that if I did it several dozen times, I would most likely overcome my social fears and transform into a new person.
Likewise, many people hesitate to start working on their goals out of a fear of failure or self-doubt. Day On the Value of the Struggle To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals — this alone is worth the struggle. The focus is on the success, not the struggle. Whenever you find yourself discouraged by your lack of success, remind yourself that the process alone is your reward. I failed numerous times in business. I had been true to my values of pursuing the entrepreneurial life.
I kept going, despite the obstacles I constantly encountered along the way. Over and over again, I beat entrepreneurial depression and found it in myself yet again to get back up and try again. Eventually my efforts paid off, but even if it had taken longer to get the results — or if I had died before reaching them — the struggle would still have been worth it for the immense changes I underwent on the journey to pursue my dreams.
Probably the most common area in which I see most people struggling because of lack of fun is exercise. The only way to develop a permanent habit of regular physical activity is to find an exercise you enjoy.
Without the fun factor, exercise will always feel like a chore, and you probably already have enough obligations in your life. The same applies to virtually any other endeavor. Do you consider working on your goals enjoyable and fun or is it mostly a chore? Reflect on what really matters to you. Savor life. For example, when I was working on my fitness goals, I acted a lot. I religiously followed my workout schedule and did everything I could to build a strong body, including eating foods recommended for bodybuilders, recording videos of my lifts to improve my technique, and even hiring a fitness coach.
I acted a lot, but thought too little. It was only when I stopped and reflected on what mattered to me that I realized that I had never wanted to be a bodybuilder. Upon this realization, I redesigned my entire approach to fitness and started doing something that finally felt natural instead of forced.
Periodically pause and reflect on your own choices. Are you pursuing goals that matter to you? Are you working on your goals in a way that fits your lifestyle, or is there imbalance and disharmony? Day On Hater s Luke! That leads to the Dark Side. People will criticize you for everything and anything, for a variety of reasons. People accused me of a lack of respect toward women merely because I wanted to overcome shyness and be able to talk with attractive females.
Others criticized me for my efforts to lose weight and build a fit physique. Yet others laughed at my attempts to build a successful business, claiming that I would never accomplish my ambitious financial goals. Today people criticize my books or send me impolite emails because I annoyed them in some unfathomable way.
In the beginning, it bothered me a lot. I wondered if there was something wrong with me, if the people criticizing me knew something that had escaped me. Time passed, and with the growing number of goals I had reached and the trust in myself I had consequently developed, I realized there was no value in the feedback that was coming from haters.
Giving in to hate and letting it get to you leads to rancor, a poison that can jeopardize your long-term goals. Shield yourself from negativity by surrounding yourself with the Light Side: other people pursuing their goals, empowering books, mentors, and visiting venues or participating in online communities that exhibit positive values. What do you do, sir?
I helped clients build backlinks to their websites so that they could rank higher on Google. In addition to client work, I built my own sites. At one point, I had 40 sites, each targeting different keywords and covering a different topic. I was extremely self-disciplined about this business, as I was building new sites every week and constantly writing new articles for them. Google periodically introduced new updates and people like me regularly had to rebuild their businesses according to the new rules.
Upon realizing that my business would forever stand on wobbly legs, I stopped working on new sites and retreated from the industry. Choosing to stay self-disciplined would have been the wrong choice, because it would probably never lead me to building the lucrative, stable business I was seeking to achieve.
From time to time, revise your goals to factor in any new information you have recently acquired. Does it solidify your reasons to keep going, or is it a sign that perhaps you should alter your conclusions and refocus your efforts on something else? Day On Hurting Yourself with Your Own Judgments If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.
And it is in your power to wipe out this judgment now. A similar phenomenon happens with other goals, too. A person saving money who was forced to spend their entire savings on an emergency expense might consider it a reason to stop saving money. Knowing that the people who inspired me also had faced obstacles and were tempted to give up, it was easier for me to keep going when it was me who was facing the immense difficulties. The key to benefiting from this strategy is choosing the right accountability partner.
Ideally, this person should be great at what you want to accomplish, and if not great, at least slightly better than you. I learned the fundamental knowledge about self-publishing in just a couple of weeks, thanks to working with a person who was knowledgeable about the industry. It greatly shortened my learning curve, inspired me, and helped me avoid several obstacles that would have otherwise tested my resolve, if not outright discouraged from entering this business.
Day On Book s Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
Book were, are, and will always be one of the most valuable things a person wishing to change themselves can learn from to make their dreams come true. Here they are: 1. The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco The Millionaire Fastlane was the book that changed it all for me when it comes not only to business, but also my attitude about work and life in general. Irvine Roman Stoicism adapted to the modern world by William B.
Irvine is one of the most helpful life philosophies you can embrace to live a happier life. The most important takeaway for me is practicing your resilience by visualizing bad events.
I regularly use this strategy for reducing worry and increasing my peace of mind. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens.
It is the direct route to serenity and contentment. When I was struggling to grow one of my businesses, my laptop broke down. To make matters worse, all of that happened while I was deep in debt. I tried to keep my spirits high, but make no mistake — it was one of the darkest, most hopeless periods of my life. You will face seemingly hopeless situations and your self-discipline will be tested on numerous occasions. How will you maintain good spirits despite the negative circumstances?
What are your most effective techniques to make yourself feel better? Day On Identifying Your Resources With every accident, ask yourself what abilities you have for making a proper use of it. If you see an attractive person, you will find that self-restraint is the ability you have against your desire. If you are in pain, you will find fortitude. If you hear unpleasant language, you will find patience.
The key is to discover what it is and immediately put it to use. Unfortunately, many people default to discouragement or frustration rather than adopt a resourceful attitude and look for possible solutions. Little good comes out of covering your eyes, wishing the problem will go away on its own. The best way to prepare yourself for setbacks is to visualize them and seek solutions before these problems materialize.
What will you do if somebody you always wanted to meet invites you to dinner at a less than healthy restaurant? What will you do if you find yourself starving at the airport while waiting for the connecting flight? What will you do when you fail to resist the temptation to eat chocolate and turn an unplanned treat into a full-blown cheat day?
Day On Extreme Focus Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life — think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.
This is the way to success. There are two primary benefits of making a single idea your life. The first one is that limiting your focus to a single thing requires a great deal of self-discipline, which subsequently makes it an excellent exercise in cultivating self-control. Sticking to one thing has taught me the value of patience, dedication, and made me realize how powerful small and consistent improvements can be over the long term.
You have higher chances of implementing new nutritional habits and losing 20 pounds or 10 kilos in the next six months than trying to lose weight while also implementing a new workout routine, building a side business, fighting against your fear of public speaking, saving money for an emergency fund, and learning a foreign language.
If self-discipline is a resource that you can deplete scientists are still trying to figure it out , it makes sense to spend it judiciously, starting with your most important goal. Day On Changing Your Identity Every time you make a decision to stick with your principles instead of indulging your weaknesses, you get stronger spiritually.
And eventually this spiritual strength becomes a part of your identity. Why would I define myself as a non-drug user?
Your decision to be self-disciplined has to be equally firm. Day On Work and Chatter The only relationship between work and chatter is that one kills the other. Self-congratulatory chatter carries with it the danger that you confuse it with what actually matters: work.
This phenomenon is most visible in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs who talk the most are usually the ones doing the least. They attend every seminar, meet-up, workshop, and are heavy social media users, but when it comes to making actual progress with their business, somehow it slips between the cracks.
To ensure that you actually do the work and get the results, be cautious talking about your goals with others. I assume that whatever I invest in it, I invest it to gather data, and not necessarily to get a return. For example, I started investing in video courses for my business. I also learned a lot working on this goal, and that alone was worth it. You can apply the same mentality to every other goal.
You can take advantage of that effect by becoming good at things that require nothing but practice. Once you become good at a few unimportant things, such as hobbies or sports, the habit of success stays with you on more important quests. Thanks to my own efforts, I got stronger, lost weight and gained some muscle. This small success made me realize that I had control over my life. From then on, I embarked on other projects to change my life, including objectives as varied as overcoming shyness and building self-confidence, launching my first business, living in a foreign country, learning foreign languages, and eventually becoming a self-published author.
As a result, their motivation to exert effort on the same task in the future is reduced. Staats 82 Failure can offer valuable feedback that will help you achieve your goal. Unfortunately, many people lose the learning opportunity by attributing the failure to an external factor, such as luck. Consequently, instead of identifying the root cause in something they did, they wrongly assume that they had no control over the situation.
As a result, they enter a downward spiral: each failure makes them less motivated to try again, and soon they give up, frustrated at how unfair the world is. Perhaps you could have improved your resume, asked better questions during the interview, or been better prepared for the questions you had assumed were unlikely to be asked.
Day On the Comfort Zone People will do almost anything to stay in their comfort zones. If you want to accomplish anything, get out of your comfort zone. Strive to increase order and discipline in your life. Discipline usually means doing the opposite of what you feel like doing. When I was a teenager, I remember shaking with fear while I stood on top of a feet 40 meters tower, afraid to approach the railing.
Today, I hike through the high mountains and climb cliffs up to the same height as that of the tower. Exposing myself to heights was the opposite of what I felt like doing, but I knew it was necessary to help me grow. What started as a mere desire to get rid of a fear of heights turned into a full-blown personal transformation.
I strongly recommend regularly stepping outside your comfort zone in both little and big ways. As uncomfortable and difficult it is to step outside your comfort zone, it pays incredible dividends in the long run. Make it an inherent part of your life to expose yourself to discomfort and face your fears head on. Few things will change your life more than going outside of your comfort zone.
After all, there is a higher risk of getting sick when running in bad weather, right? Your self-control or your lack of it is now at the mercy of external factors, largely dependent on whether jogging in the given circumstances is easy or not.
Is this the right way to build mental toughness and self-discipline? It takes even more discipline — and consequently offers a greater opportunity to exercise your self-control muscle — to stick to something when you have a good justification to not do it. The key is to quit in a smart way — as the result of a process of logical thinking, not on a whim in the heat of the moment. I was often so annoyed during the workout that I wanted to stop it and go home.
However, doing so would have allowed my temporary state of mind to make the decision — and that could have negatively affected my resolve in similar situations in the future where, having once allowed myself to quit on a whim, I would consider it a sensible thing to do again.
I took my time and carefully considered the implications of giving up bodybuilding before I finally parted ways with it. This way, I quit strategically instead of impulsively.
Just take an action that is in alignment with your new resolution and it will take you at least a little bit closer to accomplishing your objectives.
Inspect your house, find things you no longer use and list them online for sale. The money you make from selling your old possessions goes straight to your emergency fund. They also make it easier to overcome your inertia and begin to develop momentum toward reaching your stated goal.
WEEK 14 Day On Pleasure Gained from Abstaining If you are struck by the appearance of any promised pleasure, guard yourself against being hurried away by it; but let the affair wait your leisure, and procure yourself some delay. Then bring to your mind both points of time: that in which you will enjoy the pleasure, and that in which you will repent and reproach yourself after you have enjoyed it; and set before you, in opposition to these, how you will be glad and applaud yourself if you abstain.
Succumbing to instant gratification means some pleasure now at the expense of your future. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path and that will make all the difference.
Easy to say, hard to do, particularly when working on those objectives means months upon months of depriving yourself, making sacrifices and hard choices. When I started my entrepreneurial life, I instilled in myself the belief that no matter what would happen along the way, every sacrifice, hardship, blood, sweat, and tears would be worth it in the end.
I had a powerful reason why, and I was confident that I could make it come true. And with a more than fair share of knockout-like failures, this would have probably happened a long time before the dots would have finally connected. It took me seven years before all of my dots — previous experiences and acquired skills — connected and helped me build a successful self-publishing company. When in doubt, remind yourself that change takes time. What you now see as completely unrelated things can soon connect and form a beautiful picture.
Take notice of whenever you overidentify with your emotions. How often do you use them as excuses for failing to exert self-control? Letting your fleeting feelings control your actions is a sure-fire way to jeopardize your resolve to become a self-disciplined person. Day On Early-morning Workouts I learned the advantage of training early, before the day starts, when there are no other responsibilities and nobody else is asking anything of you.
By the time other people are awake, the early risers have accomplished more than the rest will accomplish during their entire workday. One of the best ways to start a day is with exercise. Leaving exercise for the evening carries the risk of skipping it because of tiredness or other pressing things that require your attention. Second, exercising in the morning sets a powerful example for the rest of the day: you start the day with a conscious decision to do something that requires self-control and dedication.
The way you start your day is usually the way the entire day unfolds. If possible, try to include exercise in your morning routine.
Even just a few reps of some simple exercises, some stretching or a quick walk around the block can provide benefits and start your day on the right note. Day On Silenc e Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind, and spirit. The man who preserves his selfhood ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence — not a leaf, as it were, astir on the tree; not a ripple upon the surface of shining pool — his, in the mind of the unlettered sage, is the ideal attitude and conduct of life.
Silence is the cornerstone of character. Most of us rarely, if ever, experience true silence. We listen to podcasts when exercising, listen to music when commuting, and interrupt work with a chat or two with colleagues.
Since silence can bring so much discomfort, it can be a potent tool to improve your self-control. As a second strategy, embrace silence in a conversation. I refer to using silence as an exercise in improving your self-control when dealing with other people.
For example, try the following challenge for one day: when talking with somebody who has a different opinion than you do, resist the temptation to immediately attack them and instead listen silently until they have fully presented their arguments. You will have positioned yourself for a more intelligent participation in the conversation, simply because you took the time to listen carefully to what the other person said.
Another exercise is to practice self-control by using fewer words. For one day, focus on listening to the other person. Ask as many questions as you can to maintain an interesting conversation and resist the urge to comment or share too many of your opinions. Both of these exercises will train you to be more focused on the other person and less impulsive during a conversation. Day On Treating Yourself Wel l Nearly every human action is in some way an expression of how we think about ourselves.
If a person is constantly playing video games, watching pornography, or trolling on social media, what does choosing to engage full-time in such low-value entertainment options say about their self- esteem?
If for one day they were to play host to an important guest — say a successful person they admire — would they entertain their guest in the same way? Consider your actions and ask yourself what they express. Do you treat yourself well or are most of your actions things you would never do to a dear friend of yours? Nobody forces you to hang out with the same people, install a dating app, or drive by your favorite fast food joints.
If your long- term goals are important to you, you can always consider moving to a place that will be more conducive to your personal growth. How many have you applied so far? In the case of my self-publishing business, it was the decision to stick to a consistent publishing schedule an activity I discovered to be the one thing that makes everything else easier or unnecessary and foregoing any other endeavors that take a lot of time, but bring few results such as participating in social media.
When I educated myself about dividend stock investing by reading some books, countless articles and blog posts, I used their suggestions for building my own portfolio. When I read two practical books about rock climbing, I identified a technique I considered to be a key tool for self-improvement establishing a specific intention prior to scaling a wall, such as an intention to focus on proper hip-positioning , and started using it during my workouts.
When reading, always think about how you can apply the teachings in your own life — not about how you can finish the book faster so you can begin reading another one. Day On Being a Leader If you wish to control others you must first control yourself. In other words, give yourself an answer as to why you should resist yet another temptation and stay self-disciplined. One overlooked benefit of self-control — or a big weakness in a person who lacks it — is that leadership is impossible without it.
If you demand self-discipline from others, you should first have it yourself. Day On the Ultimate Excellence in Self-Discipline Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting. There are three primary tools you can use for that: 1. Identity change. Unlike identity change, you might still need some self-discipline to act or to overcome a temptation, but it will be only a modicum of what had been necessary before you established your routine.
Avoiding temptations. Day On the Deeper Meaning Behind Temptations Monastic rules that advise renouncing liquor, renouncing sex, and so on are not pointing out that those things are inherently bad or immoral, but that we use them as babysitters. We use them as a way to escape; we use them to try to get comfort and to distract ourselves. Of course, you can say that you eat chocolate simply because you enjoy its taste. I would eat a big meal that would normally satisfy me for the entire day, and then would continue eating afterward — sometimes a few snacks, sometimes another large meal an hour or two later.
Then, because I wanted to fill my days with something , I filled them with food. When I came up with a new business goal and started working more, the problem soon disappeared.
Think about your problematic behaviors and temptations and seek a deeper meaning behind them. Why do you use these particular methods to comfort or distract yourself? Why do you need to comfort or distract yourself in the first place? What is the trigger or emotional need that leads to the negative behavior and what kind of emotional payoff do you expect to get out of engaging in it? Day On Controlled Burn Small forest fires periodically cleanse the system of the most flammable material, so this does not have the opportunity to accumulate.
Regular small fires serve a cleansing purpose, reducing the amount of fuel build-up and consequently lowering the likelihood of a potentially large, disastrous fire. Fires promote the growth and biodiversity of surviving healthy vegetation when the old, sickly trees burn and the ashes add nutrients to the soil. Moreover, burned trees provide habitat for the wildlife which often grows in numbers after a fire. A controlled burn is a strategy that foresters around the world use to regulate plant and animal life, usually as a way to reduce the risk of a larger, uncontrolled fire.
You can use a similar strategy: give yourself some slack every now and then to prevent yourself from a massive, uncontrollable loss of self-discipline. The most obvious application of this technique is in dieting: allowing yourself a cheat meal every now and that will help you avoid an unplanned cheat day or cheat week that could result in disastrous consequences for your long-term progress. You can use a controlled burn in any other endeavor that requires you to maintain high levels of self- discipline for a long period of time.
You might temporarily lose some momentum, but in the long haul it will be worth it. If it were, nobody would ever be able to change. They fail to predict when, where, and why they will give in. A key practice you should embrace in your everyday life is to make a note of when, where, and why you give in to temptations. Think of some of your most common slip-ups and figure out when, where, and why they happen.
WEEK 16 Day On Valuing Your Own Opinion I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others. If you lack trust in yourself, this negative feedback can cause self-doubt and compromise your long-term goals.
Usually people who are the opposite of what you want to accomplish criticize you out of fear of being inferior to you. If you manage to reach success, what does it say about them? While I doubt that there is a foolproof way to stop valuing the opinion of others more than our own and I doubt that it would be smart to assume that we know everything best forever, there is a way to protect yourself from self-doubt upon hearing criticism.
Whenever somebody criticizes your choices, ask yourself if they can serve as a model for you. If your overweight friend ridicules your resolution to stop eating fast food, is his or her opinion valuable for you? Does he or she set a positive example and have the credibility to change your mind?
If not, why listen to him or her? Day On the Innocent Distractions Distraction and displacement seem innocent on the surface. How can we be harming ourselves by having fun, or seeking romance, or enjoying the fruits of this big, beautiful world?
But lives go down the tubes one repetition at a time, one deflection at a time, one hundred and forty characters at a time. Day On Following a Routin e I only write when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes at nine every morning. The only way to ensure that you consistently advance toward your objectives is to establish a routine and force inspiration upon yourself. My preferred time to write is early morning.
You can benefit from routines when working on virtually any other goal. Making your life predictable by sticking to a set of routines might seem boring, but imagine how exciting it will be to finally accomplish your goals, thanks to following those routines!
It also uses less energy when you follow the routines as a habit, so you can accomplish more with less energy, leaving you more time and energy for other things that increase your pleasure in the journey itself. Day On the Size of Container s Moviegoers who were given fresh popcorn ate This container-size influence is so powerful that even when the popcorn was disliked, people still ate In the cited study, the size of the popcorn containers affected how much people ate from them. If you want to eat less, and consequently, increase your chances of success when dieting without the need for more willpower, consume in smaller containers: smaller plates, bowls, and glasses.
Day On Moving Yourself Closer to the Finish Line People find it more motivating to be partly finished with a longer journey than to be at the starting gate of a shorter one. How do you do it? Imagine you want to have a flat stomach or become more muscular. Day On Patience With Mindset Change s Nothing important comes into being overnight; even grapes or figs need time to ripen. If you say that you want a fig now, I will tell you to be patient.
First, you must allow the tree to flower, then put forth fruit; then you have to wait until the fruit is ripe. So if the fruit of a fig tree is not brought to maturity instantly or in an hour, how do you expect the human mind to come to fruition, so quickly and easily? Mindset changes — in both positive and negative directions — take time to develop. At the very least, it will take you months or even years to eradicate negative habits and traits from your life.
Collaborators discovered that willpower, like a muscle, becomes fa tigued from overuse but can also be strengthened over the long term through exercise. Self-knowledge—especially of how we find ourselves in willpower trouble—is the foundation of self-control. Each chapter dispels a common misconception about self.
