Interesting book. I spent a bit of time working through the exercises - I stalled at around half-way through (where it gets a bit more serious), so it took a lot more than 10 days to get through. If you were disciplined, it might be quicker (pun intended!).
I will go back to this as it has a lot of good ideas. The core value for me was in Part Two & Three as it helped me name and more easily identify the fears. With names on them, I can identify them, which helps me to put a blocker on them w...more

An excellent book for tying up all the ends of sloppy thinking and moving out of comfort zones. If you're a procastinator and fed up with it, this is the book for you.
But it does require a level of commitment. It gets results if you follow the exercises. You will be "doing" 10 days after beginning the book, as it turned me from an overweight procrastinator into a slim, fit, "do-er".
No other books like this one, so get it NOW!!

The first part of the book has exercises for identifying childhood memories of specific types of incidents. I didn't find that helpful. The advice in the second part of the book is mostly obvious, common-sense stuff. One piece of advice that I really liked, though, was relaxing in order to combat the resistance to starting a task. That's a good tip.
The book taught me why we procrastinate. I've never really thought about it before so that helped me a lot.
I think that the steps in the book require more effort than the tasks I have to complete so I stopped using them after a few weeks.
It did motivate me to create my own method to be more organized and stop procastinating so in a way it changed my life.

For a book with "self-" in its title it is an exceptionally well written one. Bryant knows what he is talking about, it is not another kind of miracle-you-don't-even-have-to-finish-it-to-be-a-superman book. It is coherent, filled with advices and stories based on careful analysis of the way human mind works, and backed up with observations Bryant made during his long career in the field. You can read it in parts, it is designed for people who lack time, but doing what it tells you to do, you wil...more
This the first book I read on self-discipline. I really liked strategies to thwart procrastination and make it easier to do things rather depending on only willpower to get things done.

It is a interesting book, it helped me to give a glance about why I was really "stopped". But I couldn't read in 10 days. So I think it didn't help me really with self discipline.
Simplified - maybe a little too much. Not structured enough for my taste. All info I've already found elsewhere, and it was better presented elsewhere.
Short self-help book on how to go about doing things you've been thinking about doing for a long time. Short written exercises. Practical approach.
Introduced new concepts, works pretty well
awesome
Deceptively simple, but effective if implemented. I like how it tries to circumvent paralysis-by-analysis. Some good tips in here for sure. Unlike reading most books, this one demands active reader participation, which makes sense given the topic. I will keep it and re-read it, maybe bumping it to four stars.
Great motivating book. It's short, simple with helpful exercises. I liked it very much.
Practical.

Didn't work.
Takes a psychoanalysis approach, which means that it just asks you to write down how your parents got in the way of your self discipline every day.
This kind of change takes more than ten days.

I found this book very interesting. There are some very useful tips easy to do and to understand, perfect for a easy transition to use the newfound skill you'll achieve of self-discipline and self-management.
This book contains some useful thoughts on hoe subconscious influence our will to do something useful. It will interesting to read to those who experience procrastination problems.
