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.

Many of us unconsciously know of the pain/pleasure principle of motivation. It's very intuitive to learn about because we can all think of almost exactly how it applies to our own lives.
This book does a good job of establishing what that principle is, though it's examples are very boring and can be long winded at times. Narrator does a good job, but is way more prim and proper than anyone I'd like to just have a conversation with. 4 stars

Very insightful and scientifically based

As a solo entreprenuer, this book really put a lot of things in perspective for me! I have a whole new outlook on human actions or lack there of after listening.

Love this book!

It's ironic that a book that is supposed to help with motivation and concentration by exploiting the pleasure and displeasure aspects of the brain, uses a narrator that is flat and monotonous and totally displeasing, reading an already way too formal text. I was interested in listening what was being said, but had to keep rewinding because the man kept putting me to sleep... and I was driving!!!! No, really, lost track of what was being said constantly because the narrator is not at all engaging and that paired with such a formal text makes for a very, very boring listen. I will have to re-listen, because on my last drive, I was not able to stay concentrated on the last two chapters. Interesting book though, talks about very common problems for people like me that tend to procrastinate and get distracted with things.

Formal text read by monotonous narrator

I think its helpful for some types of procrastination, I didn't quite connect to it. however, I like this tips for addiction. I have stopped drinking now for a year after years of crazy partying and I think this would have been been helpful then.

maybe I need to relisten to it again.

I had a really hard time staying tuned in to the point where he shares the tricks. The delivery is dry and the message is as well. Good techniques!

good information. hard to stay tuned in
