Willpower Doesn’t Work. Let Your Environment Work Instead

Stop thinking that willpower is the key to the door of a happy life! The more you tighten the screws, forcing yourself to exercise, stick to a diet, or memorize foreign words, the more devastating the breakdown will be. And don't think that you're the only undisciplined one. Everyone breaks down, everyone gives up, everyone feels guilty!
Benjamin Hardy, a doctor of organizational psychology, a successful blogger, and the father of three adopted children, suggests replacing unreliable willpower with a powerful "exoskeleton." Make your environment – your friends, social networks, stressful circumstances, nutrition, and daily routine – push you towards your set goal.
