About this audiobook
When it comes to success, studies have shown that self-control is more important than the amount of education or ambition you have. It is difficult to change the amount of self-control you have throughout your lifetime — but fortunately, with some effort and a little knowledge of neuroscience, it’s possible to make a dramatic difference in your willpower.
In The Self-Control Workout, an audio course from Scribd Coach, Stresscoach founder and positive psychology educator Manuel Kraus explains how you can hack your willpower to boost your self-control and accomplish your goals. In the course, Kraus offers a relevant definition of “self-control,” ways you can exercise your willpower muscle, the neuroscience behind willpower, how to identify errors in your thinking, and more. He also shares exercises along the way so you can put what you’ve learned into practice.
Robust, far-reaching, and evidence-based, Kraus’s course is ideal for anyone who wants to develop a thorough understanding of willpower and maximize their self-control.
