Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BUY THE PAPERBACK VERSION AND YOU'LL HAVE THE KINDLE VERSION FOR FREE What are the main points of this book, Mental Toughness: 25 Techniques to Improve Your Mind to Achieve All Your Goals? Mental toughness can be defined as, "Being comfortable in one's skin as well as having resilience and confidence in one's natural response when faced with adversities to cope with controllable and uncontrollable situations." This concept can be learned consciously or subconsciously by picking up mental traits of the people around you. This book covers conscious learning, which states that one of the most prominent ways of achieving success is by visualizing your goals through the help of meditation. This book discusses emotional intelligence (EI) or emotional quotient (EQ). This technique helps you improve your EI or EQ by helping you understand what your emotions mean and teaching you how to control them. In addition, learn why Daniel Goleman, an American psychologist and author of the book titled "Emotional Intelligence," thinks that EQ matters more than IQ in the work environments. This book also covers a technique called "learning how to cope with physical and emotional pain." Researchers discovered an interesting fact when studying the relationship between these two kinds of pain. The two pains have the same neural signatures and both affect the anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula regions of the brain. Learn why having self-confidence in your abilities is critical for you to be able to achieve your goals. In addition, learn about the importance of looking at your track record as a technique that you can use to further enhance your self-confidence. The book discusses how you will encounter challenges and obstacles in your way to success. Find out the difference between how the ultra-successful people and regular people handle pressure and how you can give your best when under pressure. HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS BOOK: Embracing the power of positive thinking Learning to distinguish between thoughtful and unthoughtful critiques, otherwise known as trolls or haters, and how to react to them Learning to embrace competition as it pushes you to always give your best Learn the importance of resilience in your bid to bounce back from setbacks The power of observing and learning from winners and role models The power of embracing self-control and abstaining from all forms of distractions when chasing your goals Becoming a leader by embracing new challenges and responsibilities Recognizing that your cognitive mind is the only thing you have complete control of in the world and learning techniques to control it The importance of surrounding yourself with positive people and developing cohesive teams to help you achieve your goals These and other more techniques are covered in this book. We hope you enjoy reading and that you will feel enlightened throughout your journey. All the best!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Mindset and Exercises Will Help You Build Everlasting Self-Discipline and Unbeatable Willpower Imagine that you have this rare kind of power that enables you to maintain iron resolve, crystal clarity, and everyday focus to gradually realize all of your dreams by consistently ticking one goal after another off your to-do list. Way too often, people and their minds don''t really play in one team. Wouldn''t that be profoundly life-changing to utilize that power to make the best partners with your brain? This rare kind of power is a mindset. The way you think, the way you perceive and handle both the world around you and your inner reality, will ultimately determine the quality of your life. A single shift in your perception can trigger meaningful results. Life can be tough. Whenever we turn, there are obstacles blocking our way. Some are caused by our environment, and some by ourselves. Yet, we all know people who are able to overcome them consistently, and, simply speaking, become successful. And stay there! What really elevates a regular Joe or Jane to superhero status is the laser-sharp focus, perseverance, and the ability to keep on going when everyone else would have quit. I have, for a long time, studied the lives of the most disciplined people on this planet. In this book, you are going to learn their secrets. No matter if your goals are financial, sport, relationship, or habit-changing oriented, this book covers it all. Today, I want to share with you the science-based insights and field-tested methods that have helped me, my friends, and my clients change their lives and become real-life go-getters. Here are some of the things you will learn from this book: -What the "positive thinking trap" means, and how exactly should you use the power of positivity to actually help yourself instead of holding yourself back? -What truly makes us happy and how does that relate to success? Is it money? Social position? Friends, family? Health? No. There''s actually something bigger, deeper, and much more fundamental behind our happiness. You will be surprised to find out what the factor that ultimately drives us and keeps us going is, and this discovery can greatly improve your life. -Why our Western perception of both happiness and success are fundamentally wrong, and how those misperceptions can kill your chances of succeeding? -Why relying on willpower and motivation is a very bad idea, and what to hold on to instead? This is as important as using only the best gasoline in a top-grade sports car. Fill its engine with a moped fuel and keep the engine oil level low, and it won''t get far. Your mind is this sports car engine. I will show you where to get this quality fuel from. -You will learn what the common denominator of the most successful and disciplined people on this planet is - Navy SEALS and other special forces, Shaolin monks, top performing CEOs and Athletes, they, in fact, have a lot in common. I studied their lives for a long time, and now, it''s time to share this knowledge with you. -Why your entire life can be viewed as a piece of training, and what are the rules of this training? -What the XX-th century Russian Nobel-Prize winner and long-forgotten genius Japanese psychotherapist can teach you about the importance of your emotions and utilizing them correctly in your quest to becoming a self-disciplined and a peaceful person? -How modern science can help you overcome temptation and empower your will, and why following strict and inconvenient diets or regimens can actually help you achieve your goals in the end? -How can you win by failing and why giving up on some of your goals can actually be a good thing? -How do we often become our own biggest enemies in achieving our goals and how to finally change it? -How to maintain your success once you achieve it?
