Story
Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

Publisher's Summary
We rely on willpower to create change in our lives...but what if we're thinking about it all wrong? In Willpower Doesn't Work, Benjamin Hardy explains that willpower is nothing more than a dangerous fad—one that is bound to lead to failure. Instead of "white-knuckling" your way to change, you need to instead alter your surroundings to support your goals. This book shows you how.
The world around us is fast-paced, confusing, and full of distractions. It's easy to lose focus on what you want to achieve, and your willpower won't last long if your environment is in conflict with your goals—eventually the environment will win out. Willpower Doesn't Work is the needed guide for today's overstimulating and addicting environment. Willpower Doesn't Work will specifically teach you:
- How to make the biggest decisions of your life—and why those decisions must be made in specific settings
- How to create a daily "sacred" environment to live your life with intention and not get sucked into the cultural addictions
- How to invest big in yourself to upgrade your environment and mind-set
- How to put "forcing functions" in your life—so your default behaviors are precisely what you want them to be
- How to quickly put yourself in proximity to the most successful people in the world—and how to adapt their knowledge and skills to yourself even quicker
- How to create an environment where endless creativity and boundless productivity is the norm
Benjamin Hardy will show you that nurture is far more powerful than your nature and teach you how to create and control your environment so your environment will not create and control you.
What the critics say
"If you want to get more done, don't worry about willpower—focus on motivation. Challenging the dominant view of self-control as a muscle. Benjamin Hardy reveals that productivity is really about clarity and commitment."—Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take
"Change your environment, change your life. Ben Hardy's book is a prescription for excellence and contains the hidden keys to success."—Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle Is the Way

it's okay
say: "over-pronunciation," but over-pronunciate it.
That is my knock on his performance. There's a couple useful strategies though.

One of tge best
I've read hundreds of books about personal growth and achievement. This is one of the most realistic I've read and slso that corresponds to my personal needs.
I have ADD and in certain periods of my life when I was in the right environnement it was not a hindrance but a strength. Even though I was already applying some of the principles in this book, it makes sense of my own experience and will very likely help me to move beyond my previous expectations.
About the performance I would have chosen another voice, but that's OK

Amazing book!
So many insights to willpower. I will listen to this book over and over. It gives me a lot of hope that I still can succeed if I just change my environment.

Title is a little misleading but overall good book
I think it's more accurate to say this will improve your use of willpower not that it's the way to NOT have to use willpower. For example it is OBVIOUSLY easier on your willpower to not have junk food in the house if you are trying to be healthy but you need willpower to not walk to the corner store 5 mins away and get a bag of chips or use Uber eats to get a pizza. This book puts you in the best position to follow through on the right action but most people WILL still need willpower, these are just great strategies to make it easier.

This book delivers.
I have been following Benjamin's writing on medium for over a year now and was extremely excited to see the book on Audible as I only consume books through audiobooks now.
The book provides practical advice and not just the usual motivational stuff you see clouding up the self help section. Just like all his writing, his steps to success are profound and filled with Truth. We just need to have the convictions to take them.

Actionable and informative
I hate reading books that discuss an idea, back it up with a bunch of studies, and then leave it at that. This book provides lots of actionable content that will help you live what the writer has experienced.

Hard Hitting New Stance on Personal Transformation
This book is packed with research-backed self help for modern high-performers. It goes against the grain and takes a totally new stance with regard to personal transformation focusing on environmental control over personal willpower control. There's a good chance you'll read it cover to cover. The advice contained is powerful because a lot of it is painful to hear - and therefore likely what is needed to spark meaningful transformation.
