Review: The Skinny on WillPower
The other day I received a book to review titled The Skinny on Willpower: how to develop self-discipline. I don’t know anyone keen on self improvement who hasn’t moaned at one time or another, “If I just had more will power I could . . .” Sometimes it seels as if our willpower is won’t power.
This book talks in detail about will power and how to get yourself in a better position to accomplish your goals. It is a startlingly different book – short but powerful chapters with stick figures illustrating the point they are making. Don’t let the stick figures put you off-guard and make you think this book doesn’t have content for grown-ups. It definitely does.
You will learn the 15 points for developing will power and self discipline. (You will learn that discipline is not a dirty word). In their words you will learn how to:
- Increase your self-discipline
- stick to your commitments
- block out negative thoughts
- be the power of inertia
- be prepared for difficult times
- maximize your effectiveness
- turn your dreams into realities
- achieve your goals
It is rare that I recommend a specific book but I am doing that for this one. If you have ever complained about the lack of will-power click the book in the square below and go directly to Amazon.com.
