This book by Peter Hollins provides a comprehensive psychological framework for conquering procrastinationand building long-term self-discipline. The text identifies experiential avoidance—the urge to escape uncomfortable emotions—as the primary cause of laziness and suggests that self-mastery is found through psychological flexibility rather than sheer willpower. Readers are encouraged to embrace discomfort as a tool for growth and to utilize the ninety-second rule to manage emotional triggers effectively.
