Description: Willpower Doesn't Work by Benjamin Hardy, Benjamin Hardy, Dr. Discover why willpower wont work, why grit wont get you anywhere, and why you cant depend on discipline alone to improve your life - unless you first change your environment in order to support your success. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Benjamin Hardy is one of the leading voices on well-being and productivity. WILLPOWER DOESNT WORK is an insightful guide to help us thrive in todays world Arianna HuffingtonIf youre relying on willpower alone to help you lose weight, improve your relationships or achieve more at work, youre doomed to fail. The environment around us is far too powerful, stimulating, addicting and stressful to overcome it through sheer determination. Willpower, grit, being positive - basically, all the tools youve been told are the keys to creating lasting change in your life - are insufficient in this high-paced, information-overloaded world we live in. The only way to stop just surviving and learn to truly thrive in todays world is to proactively shape your environment. Thats the premise of WILLPOWER DOESNT WORK, by organisational psychologist and Mediums most-read self-help guru Benjamin Hardy. Building on copious existing research, as well as his own experience of growing up in a broken family afflicted by addiction and drug use, Hardy explains how people can change their lives on every level by making small, impactful changes in their environment like:* Creating enriched environments - using tougher challenges and self-imposed deadlines to force yourself to rise to the occasion.* Growing into your goals - using radical personal accountability to keep yourself on target and on track.* Becoming the teacher - stepping into a leadership role (even before you think youre ready) to accelerate your skills.* Rotating your environments - getting out of your rut by literally changing your physical surroundings throughout the day or week.From simple steps like removing things that conflict with your values from your environment (like junk food, junk media, even junk people), to incorporating new tools (like fasting or adding positive triggers to your world), these lessons make it possible to consciously shape your surroundings so you can lead a more productive and happier life. Hardy leans on his own story of making the decision to foster three young children to illustrate how any shift, no matter how huge, can become the new normal if you support that change with a productive environment. Flap If you want to get more done, dont worry about willpower - focus on motivation. Challenging the dominant view of self-control as a muscle. Benjamin Hardy reveals that productivity is really about clarity and commitment Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take Most of us rely on willpower to lose weight, improve our relationships, achieve more at work . . . but what if were thinking about it all wrong? In a world that is fast-paced, confusing and full of distractions, its easy to lose focus on what you want to achieve, and your willpower wont last long if your environment is in conflict with your goals - eventually, the environment will win out.
