Reply to comment by blackgator123 in LPT: How to keep yourself motivated to do anything? by LuciferAT022

I agree for the most part. I remember psycho cybernetics was a good read as well. But, David goggins book destroyed every other one i ever read.

no hacks, no reframing, just pure effort for the sake of it. i was doing all kinds of shit until i got long covid. even still, i make the most of my up time because of that book.

Ah, I have yet to finish reading psycho-cybernetics, but it has been great so far. I never thought about the David Goggins book tbh. I need to add that to my read list. Since you liked both psycho and atomic, I am sure Goggins will come to help me personally if I read his book. Do you read lots of self-help books?

i have. i like reading about different takes on life. always liked the heat seeking missile concept from psycho cybernetics.

honestly, Goggins book sort of negates the others. perhaps it hit me specifically just the right way, but I think it's the best.

Since it negates the others, I am interested, now more than ever as to what and how he negates them. As of now, atomic habits has to be the #1 for keeping things real and sound.

at least for me it does.

as far as getting things done and motivation, it's awesome.

i suppose you could incorporate a few things from atomic, but he uses a mirror to keep track of things.

advocates seeking discomfort on purpose to make other things less of an obstacle.
