Publisher's Summary
Learn to take control of your life through an in-depth understanding of motivation
What is motivation? Why do we feel totally paralyzed to do certain things, and utterly unable to quit others? Too many people conclude, falsely, that they are just lazy or lacking in willpower. But what they lack is a correct understanding of their own minds, of motivation, and the way that it operates.
This audiobook is a self-help manual and a rigorous analysis of the psychology of motivation. It will teach you to stop procrastinating, kick your addictions, circumvent laziness, take control of your actions, and achieve your goals, by thoroughly understanding the way your mind works.
In it, you’ll learn:
- What the nature of motivation is, on its deepest psychological level
- Why addiction and procrastination are two sides of the same coin
- Why there’s no fundamental difference between a physical and psychological addiction
- Why willpower is rarely the solution to anything
- Why and how emotions motivate
You’ll also learn 15 powerful strategies for motivating yourself, why they work, and how to apply them to your own life. By the end of this audiobook, you’ll possess all the tools you need to take firm control of your daily existence.

Good book to revisit
Aptly named and an interesting insight into one's predicaments. In depth but not so much a how-to, more a guide to think internally.

An easy listen and good ideas
There’s certainly some great advice if you are struggling with getting things done. Nothing groundbreaking. Very pleasant to listen to. In the first half the scene is set in the second half the author talks about different techniques that you can bring into play in order to help alleviate procrastination and laziness.

Boring but useful
Some good points but can get bogged down in theory and large words that wouldn't suit a layman, tough listen at times but good nuggets of info to keep you going

Not recommended for gamblers
I wouldn't recommend this book to help combat a gambling addiction. One of the motivational tools recommended is wagering with friends that you will or will not perform the target behaviour.
Other than that the basis of the theory is very interesting and for motivating healthy habits I would recommend.

Started well
Started well but never got to anything groundbreaking. The pleasure principle was interesting but solutions were unrealistic.

Waste of time
Just a 3hr compilation of fictional issues and term for why you Procrastinate /are Addicted, chapter after chapter of rehashing the same concept in a different way dispersed with footnotes promoting other books with no practical strategies to help stop the cycles, (Locking a computer game in a lock box 2 miles down the road is NOT practical)
