About this audiobook

The ancient stoics tell us this happens because human beings are half god, half animal… And we have an animal element: the part of us that's moved by instinct, impulse, and emotion—which we share with the animals. This is the part of us that succumbs to instant gratification and indiscipline. To be self-disciplined, the stoics tell us, means to make the god within—not the animal within—the master of our choices. It means living in accordance with our highest nature, not our lowest impulses. Here is a preview of what you'll learn... How to set clear goals:the vision or dream you hold in your mind must be just as disciplined as the decisions you make and the actions you perform in order to achieve that vision or dream. How to organize your environment: clutter, chaos and confusion are archenemies of success in any area of life. How to establish a routine: once you have established organization in your mind and space the next step is to organize your time. How to develop positive habits: any behavior that is repeated enough so that you practice it without thinking is a habit. As the children grew into teenagers and then adults, the correlation between the marshmallow-eaters and the non-marshmallow-eaters was astounding. The children who were able to delay gratification and wait for the second marshmallow got better grades in school, were less likely to become overweight, earned more money as adults, and so on. In other words, grit is the secret to getting what you want in life.
