Easy Discipline: An Unconventional Way to Achieve Ambitious Things (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781668093580)

From the bestselling author of Rejection Proof, a guide to making hard actions easy by using pleasure--not willpower--to achieve your goals. Work can be fun. Focus can be automatic. And success can be easy.

Most people think that because great achievements are difficult, they must also feel difficult. They resort to grind culture and sheer willpower, attempting to bully themselves into success, only to be left with broken dreams and diminished self-confidence. The truth is, great accomplishments are rarely achieved through mental toughness. Rather, the most successful people find a way to make hard actions feel easy.

Drawing on stories from his own battles with ADHD and procrastination, as well as twelve epic stories from history and pop culture, bestselling author Jia Jiang outlines the four pillars of Easy Discipline--Enjoyment, Artistry, Systems, and Yourself--so you can take hard actions on a consistent basis, love yourself in the process, and achieve life-changing results. You'll learn:

- How to harness the power of the One Action Goal system--and why it's the only system you'll ever need.

- Why creative constraints are your best friend, and how to use them to your advantage.

- How to generate momentum in your early actions so they generate asset-building resources that help you succeed later on.

- How to actively control and curate media consumption to educate and inspire you toward your goal, the way developers fine-tune AI machines.

This book won't change you from who you are already, but help you love your work and enjoy your journey so you can reach new heights. A love letter to ambitious people everywhere who are disorganized, undisciplined, and distracted, Easy Discipline will give you the mindsets and tools to turn flaws into assets, obstacles into stepstones, and dreams into realities. You aren't dumb. You aren't a failure. You just need Easy Discipline.
