Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Started listening to this and found myself sort of rolling my eyes and thinking, “okaaaaay, Cal Newport,” but as it went on I found a lot of the content actually did really land for me, to the point that once I finished, I immediately listened a second time. The premise is that, rather than self denial, self-discipline is actually the way to achieve contentment and satisfaction. When I let myself let that in I realized he has a point.

I‘m struggling now with juggling my work responsibilities and stresses so I‘ve been reading this book to try to get myself back on track and this quote really struck a chord with me.

Fascinating! I listened to the audiobook through my library but I bought the print edition because it includes some journaling prompts I‘d like to work on later. But people are waiting for the audiobook so I‘m returning it so they can check it out!

I loved it!!! This book is perfect for anyone looking to make lasting improvements in their life. The author's approach to breaking down habits into small steps is practical and motivating. It's not just about stopping bad habits or starting good ones.
If you don't have the time to read this book, just listen to the summary, it will help you narrow down the basics in under 3 minutes.

Fantastic & highly recommended!

I got this because I thought it would help me teach my kids strategies for studying more effectively but it seems to be leaning towards psi techniques. I could do without the first two chapters by Miele which just sell the method. I felt ‘can we just get on with it? I bought the book already‘

Can someone point me in the right direction? 😆

#14Books14Weeks book 8. This book was subbed in for another book when I realized it was the 2nd of the 2 and I had never read the 1st. An excellent book with excellent advice, this book is easy to read and is inspirational. My favorite takeaway: What would you do if fear wasn't holding you back? "Many times, we deeply desire a change in our lives, but we fear the change might shake things up. We fear upsetting the status quo,(cont in comments)..

“In general, people are not drawn to perfection in others. People are drawn to shared interests, shared problems, and an individual's life energy. Humans connect with humans. Hiding one's humanity and trying to project an image of perfection makes a person vague, slippery, lifeless, and uninteresting.”
