The book is well organized and easy to read. It starts with methods to discover, define or refine your values and purpose referred to as your life aspirations. Then he shows how to move closer to your aspirations with planning and self-discipline. Then it covers awareness with the three practices of meditation, reflection and integration. Willpower is also discussed in length, and how it is different from motivation as that is fleeting. The techniques for improving willpower with awareness are very effective. Finally comes ACTION! Developing habits and getting more structure helps free your mind from countless minor decisions, like “should I exercise today because I don’t feel like it and it won’t hurt to skip it?” Instead, we re-connect with our aspiration and move forward, no matter what. Having more willpower gives your brain freedom to think about more useful things versus time spent ruminating and being indecisive. Through the book there is emphasis on morning meditation to calm the mind to prepare for a purposeful day, then the need to pause several times during the day for staying grounded and evening reflection for noting “Have I made a step towards my aspiration or have I taken a step away from my aspiration?”. If we feel we have stepped away from our aspiration, we are encouraged not to shame ourselves but to see what can be learned and what are some of the “baby steps” we need to take next. Much of the book is about self-control, time management, and controlling distractions in your life. One of my aspirations is to exercise daily. This commitment to myself is important for being healthy, attractive, and continuing quality of life as I get older. I am so pleased to say that I am now exercising daily!!! And it was actually easy to get into my routine using Giovanni’s techniques. I really enjoy exercising now, and the benefits that come from it. I encourage everyone to get this book and begin exploring it as a way to clarify what is most important in one’s life and then organizing your life around that. Review: A Must-Read, Practical and Meditative Book - Surprisingly, reading this beautifully-written book is a meditative experience in itself. With Giovanni Dientsmann's approach to developing the essential skill of self-discipline, it becomes a study in values and mindfulness with an emphasis on the spiritual side of life, not just the practicality of goals to be accomplished. However, as Giovanni conveys, those two things go hand in hand. This is a hefty book of 400 pages, requiring quite a bit of self-discipline to read. But reading it is also a pleasure, encouraging us to look at ourselves without judgment as we practice mindful awareness and self-reflection that can spur us to strengthen our willpower and take action. Giovanni writes with the sensibility of a monk and a yogi, all the while inspiring us to find our own inner monk. Yet in doing so, we do not retreat from the world but learn to engage with it mindfully, with increasing self-mastery. The book is full of useful exercises which are thoughtfully indexed at the end of the book. This way you can go right to the exercises you might need, whenever you need to find them. There are helpful summaries at the end of every chapter. Giovanni also provides a helpful map in the introduction, highlighting the most important chapters for the impatient reader who wants to get to the heart of things immediately. I particularly appreciate the way Giovanni deftly summarizes a great deal of fascinating research on the brain and behavior so that we get the benefit of this knowledge without having to do the work of finding, reading, and assessing it ourselves. I like the way Giovanni wants Mindful Self Discipline to become a movement. It's a quality that is sorely lacking today, in this world full of sound bytes, self-indulgence, superficiality, and distraction. As a highly accomplished friend of mine says, nothing gets accomplished without self-discipline. And as Giovanni says, if we all had more self-discipline, the world would be a better place, and our individual lives would be more fulfilling. A successful personal coach who helps clients develop self-discipline, Giovanni aptly says coaching is not for everyone—but this book is. Read it, study it, use it to become your own coach—and reap the rich rewards. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #118,861 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #144 in Popular Applied Psychology #2,190 in Motivational Self-Help (Books) #2,919 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (652) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.03 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0645138916 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0645138917 | | Item Weight | 1.44 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 456 pages | | Publication date | May 14, 2021 | | Publisher | LiveAndDare Publications | ## Images ![- Mindful Self-Discipline: Living with Purpose and Achieving Your Goals in a World of Distractions - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oNoZIPrAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is TRULY improving my life! *by G***L on October 11, 2021* Mindful Self Discipline has given me so much insight and practical ideas for accomplishing my life goals.

After having purchased and read Mindful Self-Discipline by Giovanni Dienstmann I have come to realize that it is the only self-help book I ever really needed. As Mr. Dienstmann asserts……..it’s all about self-discipline. Without self-discipline, what good is the multitude of other self-help books (many unread) I have on my bookshelf? The 1st step in any process is actually getting started. You have to DO something. And that requires self-discipline. I have followed Giovanni Dienstmann for several years now. I purchased his Practical Meditation Book several years ago, but not surprisingly it has remained un-read. I never had the self-discipline to read it, much less establish a routine for Meditation. I am a recently retired school teacher and the sudden lack of daily routine in my life has not been beneficial to my overall well-being. Lots of time ? YES!!! Any plan on how to use it? Not Really! Why? I lack self-discipline. The removal of so much structured time in my life left a void. This book has really changed my outlook for the future. Mr. Dienstmann has written a very readable, insightful book on developing self-discipline in one’s life. The book is well structured with concepts that are explained in great detail. It is a step-by-step approach. As you read, it is plain to see the years of dedication the author has spent developing this practice in his own life and now he shares it with the reader. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. So well written. So insightful. So sincere. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mindful Self-Discipline: Living with Purpose and Achieving Your Goals in a World of Distractions - Wise Confidence - Workbook For Mindful Self-Discipline: Living With Purpose And Achieving Your Goals In A World Of Distractions: A Practical Guide To Giovanni Dienstmann's Book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/317775562-mindful-self-discipline-living-with-purpose-and-achieving-your-goals](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/317775562-mindful-self-discipline-living-with-purpose-and-achieving-your-goals) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
