How to Trick Yourself Into Doing Things You Hate

Your rise in life is directly connected to doing things that you hate. It's the necessary evil in life.
Skills are easy to learn. But the ability to get things done, no matter how you feel and no matter the circumstances? Now that's a personality trait that can take you anywhere you want to go.
The goals that you want to achieve in life — they are all possible through discomfort.
HOW TO TRICK YOURSELF TO DO THINGS YOU HATE is the ultimate guide on how to play nicely with your brain. Sometimes it feels like your brain is your biggest opponent, but here you can learn how to make it work for you.
It's like the dentist that convinces a child into thinking that brushing their teeth is great for fighting monsters. Whatever the method, we achieve the end result, and that's what you'll get in this book.
Self-discipline and willpower are the best habits, because everything stems from them.
Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.

Quotes

  • Dr.Bharathi moorthyhas quoted2 months ago
    For many people, inertia, laziness, fear, procrastination, self-doubt, endless debating and analyzing, second-guessing, “planning,” and self-sabotage are the default. But for those with an action bias, taking a step forward is the thing that happens automatically, to the extent that it takes effort not to act.
  • Alena Belebekhahas quoted19 days ago
    taking action is such a good idea and so easy to do, then why don’t we do it more often?

    There are many answers to this question, but most of it comes down to anxiety. We feel like we don’t yet know enough to act, we’re afraid of the outcome, or we’re worried there’s a risk we haven’t prepared for. We feel we don’t have enough authority or clarity or ability to act.
