This is a must read book。 I want to rush through it but know that this is the type of book that one must read slowly to absorb and put into practice。 There are good resources that go with it at no additional cost。 If a person has ever procrastinated， been non-motivated， unable to stick to a goal or plan， feels to busy to start or continue with a goal or any other reason that makes goals unattainable then this is the book for you。 It is an easily understood read， has a clear and concise approach。 This is a must read book。 I want to rush through it but know that this is the type of book that one must read slowly to absorb and put into practice。 There are good resources that go with it at no additional cost。 If a person has ever procrastinated， been non-motivated， unable to stick to a goal or plan， feels to busy to start or continue with a goal or any other reason that makes goals unattainable then this is the book for you。 It is an easily understood read， has a clear and concise approach。 This is the best source I have ever found to make my vision of myself clearer and focused。 I've done parts of the recommendations before but this is the first time I have had it put all together。 Giovanni's wisdom and knowledge is vast。 。。。more

The power of Self-Discipline very well described by quote of Napoleon Hill:“Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts。 If you don’t control what you think， you can’t control what you do。 Simply， self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward。”This book by Giovanni Dienstmann can be of great help in developing self-discipline through a simple but effective tools provided in the book。The book is very well written without using very fancy language that means you don't The power of Self-Discipline very well described by quote of Napoleon Hill:“Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts。 If you don’t control what you think， you can’t control what you do。 Simply， self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward。”This book by Giovanni Dienstmann can be of great help in developing self-discipline through a simple but effective tools provided in the book。The book is very well written without using very fancy language that means you don't need to sit with dictionary。This book can act as guide in dealing with day to day challenges and can help you in defining your priorities to achieve your goals in life。Highly recommended self-help book。 。。。more

The book helps with finding answers to some everyday challenges that we face。 Also， it suggests practical steps to tackle some of our misunderstandings regarding what it means to take control of ones own life。

This book is remarkable。 It goes to the fundamentals of what it really takes to achieve your goals， how you can be more mindful in your daily decisions and the process that you need to follow to get there。 There are few books like this one。 Giovanni has clearly read and reflected extensively - the book reflects his lived experience with the topic。 You will possibly dwell on the many pearls of wisdom he offers in every chapter of this book， and get really curious about understanding the whys behi This book is remarkable。 It goes to the fundamentals of what it really takes to achieve your goals， how you can be more mindful in your daily decisions and the process that you need to follow to get there。 There are few books like this one。 Giovanni has clearly read and reflected extensively - the book reflects his lived experience with the topic。 You will possibly dwell on the many pearls of wisdom he offers in every chapter of this book， and get really curious about understanding the whys behind your daily decisions - that increased self knowledge and reflection alone is more than worth your time and money spent on this book。 He's also immensely practical - its not a philosophical treatise， but a modern day superpower/beacon of sorts to get you focusing on the right things in an age of endless distractions。 I highly recommend this one。 。。。more

I have felt there was no purpose for me。 Hopeless and feeling helpless。 I skimmed first b/c I don't want anymore regrets！ Now hunkering down from the beginning！ If you are at all like I have been-full of regrets， procrastination， never following things thru，bad habits and choices。 I know this book covers it all！ From the beginning， I have felt hopeful and grateful to discover my defects and redirect my brain pathways to a more positive， serene life。 Life is a gift。 I should treat it as such。 Hap I have felt there was no purpose for me。 Hopeless and feeling helpless。 I skimmed first b/c I don't want anymore regrets！ Now hunkering down from the beginning！ If you are at all like I have been-full of regrets， procrastination， never following things thru，bad habits and choices。 I know this book covers it all！ From the beginning， I have felt hopeful and grateful to discover my defects and redirect my brain pathways to a more positive， serene life。 Life is a gift。 I should treat it as such。 Happy Journey😊 。。。more

It is said that some books are to be tasted， others to be swallowed， but very few to be chewed and digested。 This book definitely falls in the last category。 it is simply a classic。 I started highlighting/underlining the texts that were motivating or appealing but soon felt that more than 90% of them will be done。 It is replete with useful tips to make improvements in every walk of life。 This book is for anybody who aspires to perfection or excellence。

This book is a must-read for anyone who is trying to change their lives for the better good。 The author has effectively covered the basics of self-discipline， and the three pillars that open doors to self-reflection and personal growth。 Also， Mindful Self-Discipline has enabled me to accelerate my professional growth as the teachings have increased my productivity and the ability to manage time effectively。

I have not finished the book yet， but for what I have red so far this book delivers valuable information on every single page。 There is no fluff， just actionable advice and practical suggestions。 It feels didactic， compassionate and "it makes sense" （ to me）。 It spurs you into action， and yet it feels like you came up with the idea， and this makes it very sustainable in the long run。 Thank you！ Ps I do recommend this book wholeheartedly！ I have not finished the book yet， but for what I have red so far this book delivers valuable information on every single page。 There is no fluff， just actionable advice and practical suggestions。 It feels didactic， compassionate and "it makes sense" （ to me）。 It spurs you into action， and yet it feels like you came up with the idea， and this makes it very sustainable in the long run。 Thank you！ Ps I do recommend this book wholeheartedly！ 。。。more

Monumental。 The missing thread amongst self-development books。 Step by step instructions on how to develop discipline without shame or beating yourself up。 A variety of strategies are introduced to build confidence， keep promises to yourself， and eliminate distractions。The heart of self development。 Essential reading for self-improvement。

Sometimes， a small thing can make a big change， like a book in a life。 This book is the tool to discover your inner power for any change you want to do。 It's great to know that you yourself can get to be how you want to be， no one else， you， your mind， your will。 It's worth it。 Sometimes， a small thing can make a big change， like a book in a life。 This book is the tool to discover your inner power for any change you want to do。 It's great to know that you yourself can get to be how you want to be， no one else， you， your mind， your will。 It's worth it。 。。。more

Until very recently， I would encourage people who want to move forward in their life， if they only have time to read one book， to read Stephen Covey's the "Seven habits of highly effective people"。 Having read Giovanni's "Mindful Self-Discipline"， I encourage people who only have time for one book， to read both of them。 The "Seven habits"， eye-opening as they were， did not manage to spur me into action the way "Mindful Self-Discipline" did。If you trust it， let go of any reluctance， take a deep Until very recently， I would encourage people who want to move forward in their life， if they only have time to read one book， to read Stephen Covey's the "Seven habits of highly effective people"。 Having read Giovanni's "Mindful Self-Discipline"， I encourage people who only have time for one book， to read both of them。 The "Seven habits"， eye-opening as they were， did not manage to spur me into action the way "Mindful Self-Discipline" did。If you trust it， let go of any reluctance， take a deep breath and start implementing the simple and very realistic steps the book takes you through， I can guarantee that it will be a life changing experience。 The funny thing is that for me， MSD worked equally effectively on the conscious level （with me following the methodology laid out in the book） and subconsciously （where I realized at some point that I had taken up things that I had put of or neglected forever， without having first decided on them consciously）。 Although Giovanni is a spiritual person （in the sense that he is a meditation and mindfulness teacher， a writer， life coach etc。） his approach in this book is very technocratic and managerial （if I can put it that way）。 The book is both efficient AND effective， it is very well structured and the teachings are rendered in a very effective， relevant and realistic way。 I think that Giovanni's success lies mainly in that his book renders and objections， fears and limiting beliefs one may hold invalid， by means of very simple but very solid arguments。 Having read the book， you have no excuse not to move forward to where you want to go。 。。。more
