About this audiobook
Intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation, the persistent myth of willpower, and exactly why traditional motivational advice so often backfires spectacularly when you try to apply it. This research-backed exploration reveals what actually drives sustained behavior change that lasts beyond initial enthusiasm and temporary willpower. Discover why discipline consistently beats fleeting motivation, how to build robust systems instead of relying on temporary inspiration, and the proven science of effective habit formation that truly works.
