How to stop making excuses, ditch delaying tactics, and achieve your goals without feeling like it’s a chore. Is there something you want to accomplish but can’t seem to follow through with, whether it’s making healthier choices, learning a new language, or limiting social media time? If so, then CONQUER DISCIPLINE is for you! How often do you give in to distractions or struggle to finish what you’ve started, then beat yourself up for feeling like a failure? Do you wish you could be one of those people who have laser focus and keep their eyes on the prize no matter what? Here’s a reality check: What spells the difference between one’s success and failure is not merely talent, intelligence, or even luck – it’s self-discipline. Self-discipline, according to the dictionary, is the ability to control yourself and to make yourself work hard or behave in a particular way without needing anyone else to tell you what to do. Unfortunately, while the benefits of self-discipline have long been established, it has earned a bad reputation. Many people – perhaps including yourself – react negatively to it, most likely because it’s often associated with ideas of harsh punishment, heavy burden, and basically a rigid, joyless life. But that notion cannot be farther from the truth. In fact, a study has shown that practicing self-control makes you happier and more satisfied both in the moment and in the long run. Experts also say that self-discipline is like a muscle – the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. The good news is, unlike a rigorous exercise routine, you don’t need to hire a professional trainer or have fancy equipment and tools to master self-discipline - read the book to discover more...Show book

Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.Show book
