In The 5 Pillars of Self-Discipline, personal-development innovator Steve Pavlina writes, "Imagine what you could accomplish if you could simply get yourself to follow through on your best intentions no matter what. Self-discipline can empower you to overcome any addiction or lose any amount of weight. It can wipe out procrastination, disorder, and ignorance. Within the domain of problems it can solve, self-discipline is simply unmatched."

But self-discipline doesn't just happen. It has to be developed, using the 5 pillars that Steve explains so well:

Steve writes, "If you're very undisciplined right now, you can still use what little discipline you have to build more. The more disciplined you become, the easier life gets. Challenges that were once impossible for you will eventually seem like child's play. The pinnacle of self-

discipline is when you reach the point that when you make a conscious decision, it's virtually guaranteed you'll follow through on it." You may not be there yet, but this powerful little book will start you on the way.
