Summary:
"We rely on willpower to create change in our lives, but what if we're thinking about it all wrong? Benjamin Hardy explains that willpower is nothing more than a dangerous fad - one that is bound to lead to failure. You must alter your surroundings to support your goals. This book shows you how. The world around us is fast-paced, confusing, and full of distractions. It's easy to lose focus on what you want to achieve, and your willpower won't last long if your environment is in conflict with your goals - eventually, the environment will win out. How to make the biggest decisions of your life, and why those decisions must be made in specific settings. How to create a daily "sacred" environment to live your life with intention, and not get sucked into the cultural addictions. How to invest big in yourself to upgrade your environment and mindset. How to put "forcing functions" in your life, so your default behaviors are precisely what you want them to be. How to quickly put yourself in
proximity
to the most successful people in the world, and how to adapt their knowledge and skills to yourself even quicker. Benjamin Hardy is a writer and entrepreneur living in Clemson, South Carolina. Visit his website at BenjaminHardy.com"--Provided by publisher.
