By Peter Hollins

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FD8QJZCV

What if the secret to greatness isn’t talent, but how you think?

Imagine channeling the calm discipline of Marcus Aurelius in chaos, the precision of Marie Curie in pursuit of truth, the inventive fire of Archimedes under pressure, the emotional genius of Shakespeare on the page, and the relentless artistry of Mozart in the face of rejection.

THINK LIKE THE GREATS is not a biography compilation — it’s your mental upgrade, built on the tested thinking patterns of the world’s most iconic performers, inventors, creators, and philosophers. These were not just individuals of talent, but of uncommon perspective — and this book decodes their mental frameworks for modern use.

Inside, you’ll uncover how to:

Strengthen Mental Clarity and Control: Apply Stoic reasoning from Marcus Aurelius to stay steady in a turbulent world.

Fuel Lifelong Curiosity and Grit: Embrace the scientific persistence and intellectual courage of Marie Curie to solve hard problems.

Think in First Principles: Adopt Archimedes’ radical approach to innovation and insight — not just solving problems, but reframing them.

Master Emotional Intelligence Through Story: Learn how Shakespeare used narrative to expose human truth and influence minds across centuries.

Produce at a High Level with Consistency: Unpack the rituals and resilience behind Mozart’s relentless creativity and output.

Whether you’re building a company, crafting your legacy, or just hungry to be better — the masters of history have already left the blueprint. This book hands it to you.

Stop following the average path. Start thinking like the greats — and create your own enduring masterpiece.

How To Do Things You Hate: Self-Discipline to Suffer Less, Embrace the Suck, and Achieve Anything (Live a Disciplined Life Book 16) By: Peter Hollins

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGRD68JL

Doing things you hate is a skill. And it's a skill that is always in high demand.

Look, you can teach hard skills. You can teach a monkey to do lots of things that humans can do. But you can't force them to work without a monkey revolt on your hands.

All growth comes from discomfort and the ability to push through.

How To Do Things You Hate is a primer on how you can embody the self-discipline to live the life you want. It's not easy; otherwise everyone would be there. It requires surmounting boulders, crossing oceans, and not a small amount of pain. It's always worth it, but are you able to get there? Are you tough enough? Can you find the motivation inside you somewhere? Are you able to taking it on the chin?

After this book, you will be able to resoundingly say YES!

Self-discipline and willpower are the best habits, because everything can stack on them.

Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.

Not just more productivity, but you'll start to notice that your to-do list will always be DONE.

-Diagnose and understand the exact type of laziness problem you have and why your butt is always glued to the couch.

-The value of discomfort and how to love it with daily exercises and practices that make you absolutely monk-like.

-The incredibly valuable 90-second rule of emotional volatility and self-mastery.

-The doom loop of procrastination and how you are probably caught in it right now, every day.

-How you should approach your daily tasks like a pro athlete with daily routines, and activation modes .

**Tags/Keywords:**

- Study Skills Handbook

- Peter Hollins

- Studying Techniques

- Subject Mastery

- Teaching Others

- Learning Pyramid

- Protégé Effect

**Learning Through Teaching:**

- Deepens our understanding and retention

- Discovers richer appreciation for concepts

- Effective strategy to improve recall and comprehension

**The Protégé Effect:**

- Students who teach others perform better

- Incremental learning, responsibility, egoprotection

**Analogies in Teaching:**

- Powerful tools for conveying new concepts

- Use various analogies for different topics

- Clarify purpose and reserve them for complex ideas

Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of learning through teaching. Discover how this approach deepens our understanding, enhances recall, and leads to better comprehension. We'll explore the protégé effect, a phenomenon where students who teach others thrive in their academic journey. Lastly, we'll unpack the power of analogies in teaching – an essential tool for effectively conveying new concepts. Stay tuned as we dive into these topics and more!

• By learning to teach others, we deepen our own understanding and retention, since we uncover a richer and more fundamental appreciation of the concepts behind the material. Compared to other strategies, teaching others may have the highest chance of improving recall and comprehension.

• The protégé effect is the observation that students who teach others do better, perhaps because they learn incrementally, take responsibility for the learning process, and are “ego-protected” from the prospect of failure.

• Analogies, examples, and metaphors are powerful tools to convey new concepts. To use them effectively in teaching/learning, make use of as many different analogies as possible and mix them in frequently, using examples to illustrate. Only use those analogies that actually work (i.e. don’t forget their purpose) and reserve them more complex topics, since they may only confuse simpler ideas.

**Key Takeaways:**

- Teaching others deepens your own understanding and retention of concepts

- The protégé effect: students who teach others perform better

- Use analogies, examples, and metaphors to convey new concepts effectively

- Use multiple analogies for complex topics

- Avoid confusing simpler ideas with overly complex analogies

**Additional Notes:**

- Teaching others enhances learning experience

- Protégé effect: students take responsibility and are protected from failure

- Analogies provide effective illustrations, but use them wisely.

37:36 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

It's About Time (Millions of Copies Sold for Dad) is a saga wrapped around a package of poems, guarded by Angels. With a narrative style that reads like a novel, contains a collection of poetry, and shares an autobiography, Mark Connor guides us through a journey of love, family, and life that is ours as much as his own, peaking at the point of merger of difference and unity. Following him from memory to memory, we feel the eyes upon us, defeat the empire of fear, embrace the kingdom of love, and find ten minutes a day to be grateful. All the while, we celebrate the city of Saint Paul (with a friendly nod to Minneapolis), experience Irish influence in neighborhood life, rooted in Catholic cohesion, embraced by indigenous America in the medicine wheel. We box the perfect metaphor with future world champions, love beauty in a moment of ambivalence, work on a fishing boat in Southeast Alaska, comfort a child in an American Indian shelter for kids, and guard American Indian buildings, with guns, in riots. Through it all, we honor Dad, mourning his death and remembering his love, sharing a story written for America, valuing fatherhood, defending family, encouraging marriage, and providing hope.

Mark Connor is a Literary Pugilist from Saint Paul, Minnesota. A lifelong boxer and Boxing Trainer, he runs a service called, Fighting Chance/Boxing For Life. His writing about Boxing, as well as his training services, can be found at https: //BoxersAndWritersMagazine.com. He writes fiction, poetry, and journalism.

Understand, avoid, and defeat the subconscious causes of your irrational and self-defeating behaviors. It’s only human nature.

A psychological trigger is something that causes us to act out of urgency - not correctness or even happiness. It’s a switch that is flipped outside of our consciousness. This is fertile ground for some of the worst decisions of our lives.

Seize control and of your impulses and make better decisions.

Psychological Triggers is an introduction to yourself - your impulses, your desires, and everything in your subconscious that drives you to action. It answers the question, “Why did I just make a terrible choice when I know I shouldn’t have?”

We are all slaves to our triggers, and this book seeks to identify them to better battle them. We might think we are making our decisions independently and out of free will, but you’ll discover that to be far from reality.

Master your psychology, master your life.

Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.

Think clearly and triumph over your human nature.

•The triggering effects of social pressure and conformity.

•How everyday emotions are behind some of the most powerful triggers.

•Natural, biological, evolutionary human drives - can you regulate them?

•Simple thinking traps we all fall victim to.

•The notion of free will and whether it truly exists.

Beat psychological triggers, reclaim your free will, and irrationality.

Is purely rational thinking, devoid of emotion and human drives, a reality? Probably not. But you can certainly live free from your worst impulses and irrational hunches, which are what psychological triggers create more often than not. See yourself thrive from consistently making beneficial decisions and defeating your primal psychology.

Description: Explore the hidden drivers behind irrational behavior! Join psychologist Peter Hollins as he uncovers how deeply ingrained biases, societal influences, past experiences, emotions, fears, traumas, and more can trigger our worst actions.

In this video, we'll dive into the fascinating world of learning and knowledge acquisition, uncovering the secrets to becoming a master learner. We'll discuss two main models of learning: single and double loop learning, and how each one can help you adapt and grow in your personal and professional life. Get ready to revolutionize your approach to learning with these groundbreaking methods!

Single and Double Loop Learning Explained:

* Single loop learning is the traditional method we've all been taught since elementary school. It focuses on achieving specific outcomes, like doing well in exams, without exploring the underlying reasons for our mistakes or errors. This approach can be limiting and doesn't allow for much growth beyond surface-level learning.

* Double loop learning, on the other hand, is a more advanced and effective method of information synthesis and processing. It encourages constant feedback and introspection, helping you evolve your learning techniques and understand the purpose behind them. This holistic approach fosters curiosity and leads to better, long-term learning outcomes.

Adapt and Grow: Embracing a Growth Mindset:

* Those with a fixed mindset are more likely to stick with single loop learning due to its familiarity and lack of self-reflection. However, recognizing this tendency is the first step towards adopting a growth mindset, which is crucial for mastering double loop learning.

* Embrace failure as a natural part of learning and personal growth. By acknowledging our limitations and embracing the challenges that come with them, we open ourselves up to new opportunities for expansion and understanding.

Theory-in-Use and Applying These Concepts in Your Life:

* The theory-in-use is a critical component of double loop learning, as it involves questioning our assumptions and beliefs about the world around us. By examining our own perspectives, we can identify areas for growth and improvement, ultimately leading to more effective learning habits.

* Apply these concepts to your daily life by practicing self-awareness and reflection. Constantly ask yourself why you're doing what you're doing, and whether there are better ways to achieve your goals. This mindset shift will help you unlock the full potential of double loop learning and foster a lifelong love for learning.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to revolutionize your approach to learning and personal growth. By understanding and applying the concepts of single and double loop learning, as well as embracing a growth mindset, you'll be well on your way to becoming a master learner. Stay tuned for more tips and strategies that can help you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential!

Feeling overwhelmed by information overload? You're not alone! In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get bogged down by the sheer volume of stuff we're expected to learn. But what if there was a better way?

In his book, The 80/20 Learner, Peter Hollins reveals the secrets to mastering the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule. This powerful principle states that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. By applying this principle to your learning, you can achieve dramatic results in a fraction of the time.

In this video, we'll break down the key takeaways from The 80/20 Learner, showing you how to:

Identify the 20% of knowledge that will give you 80% of the results

Develop a ruthless minimalist mindset for learning

Eliminate wasted time and focus on what truly matters

Learn and memorize anything faster with the 80/20 approach

Apply the 80/20 principle to studying, reading, language learning, and more

Whether you're a student, professional, or simply someone who wants to learn more effectively, The 80/20 Learner is a game-changer. Watch this video to discover the secrets to unlocking your full learning potential and achieving your goals faster than ever before!

The link to the book: https://adbl.co/3NGOSXs

"In summary, the Pareto principle, or 80/20 rule, highlights that a small percentage of inputs often contribute to the majority of outputs. We can leverage this in learning by focusing on the vital few – the most impactful methods, concepts, and strategies. This applies to studying, reading, language learning, and memory techniques. By identifying and prioritizing these key elements, you can significantly enhance your learning efficiency and achieve more with less effort.

Remember to apply the 80/20 rule strategically, considering the unique context of each learning situation.

For a deeper dive into the 80/20 Learner and how to master this powerful principle, I highly recommend picking up Peter Hollins' book. It's available on Amazon, and the audiobook is available on Amazon, iTunes, and Audible.

We all know the feeling: you set a goal, you're fired up, and then...BAM! You skip the gym, indulge in that extra slice of cake, and your grand plans go out the window. This frustrating phenomenon is called akrasia, and it's been puzzling philosophers for centuries.

In this video, we'll explore akrasia through the lens of two great thinkers: Plato and Nietzsche. We'll see how Plato viewed akrasia as a misunderstanding of what's truly good for us, while Nietzsche saw it as a potential within us – the will to power – that can be channeled for good or bad.

But fear not! We'll also delve into practical strategies to combat akrasia and develop rock-solid self-discipline. You'll learn how to:

Use mini-rewards to make achieving goals feel good in the present moment.

Set small, achievable goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Leverage the power of rituals and habits to make positive actions automatic.

Focus your will to power on worthy goals and resist distractions.

By understanding akrasia and using these powerful strategies, you'll be well on your way to achieving your goals and becoming the best version of yourself.

00:03:44 Researchers at Johns Hopkins

00:13:57 Know When to Take a Break

00:15:50 A study conducted by researchers at the National Institutes of Health

• Research suggests that practicing a slightly modified version of a task can lead to faster and more effective learning. Rehearse the basic skill, wait for at least six hours to consolidate, modify your practice slightly, and repeat. When we practice, we can set up narrow/artificial scenarios and end up being restrictive; instead, for indirect benefits, be flexible and cross train.

• Don’t forget to rest. Performance improves primarily during rest periods, with the brain consolidating memories. Gains made during shorter “waking” rest periods between practice sessions are greater than the gains made between daily sessions, i.e., after a night’s sleep.

00:00:00 Hello, listeners

00:06:39 Personal motivation

00:13:03 The SD = (PeM+PoB) − (dc + ds) formula

00:16:06 If-then statements

00:18:20 Peter Gollwitzer

00:23:10 According to Oxford Dictionaries

• Self-discipline and habits are innately intertwined. In fact, habits are the natural goal for self-discipline; self-disciplined acts require conscious effort until the point it becomes a natural habit.

• Make it a habit to think about a self-discipline formula, either the one in this book, or one of your own making. It’s another way of visualizing exactly what forces are at play regarding your self-discipline. My favorite version: Self-discipline = (personal motivation + positive benefits) − (discomfort + distractions). Here, if the right side of the equation turns out positive, then you have the pre-requisites for self-discipline. Thus, it becomes a matter of understanding the positive forces (motivation and benefits) and the negative forces (discomfort and distractions) and how they manifest in your life. You may even discover that you are neglecting a few factors, which is just setting yourself up for failure.

• Use the if-then technique to make your decisions before you have to decide to exercise self-discipline. Our worst decisions come when we rely on our strength of character. Thus, plan around them. If X, then Y can be your new best friend, and it is applicable in just about everything we encounter on a daily basis. It turns out we behave better when linked to other things.

• What kind of discipline style should you use, abstinence or moderation? Abstinence provides that there are no exceptions allowed, and it actually gives you a sense of freedom because you won’t have to negotiate with yourself on when to start, stop, and feel satisfied. Moderation is when you accept a certain amount of deviation, as long as you can meet your goals and milestones you set out beforehand. There is also freedom here because you can indulge and not feel like you are missing out on anything.

• Peer pressure can be positive. The sad truth is that we are products of our physical and social environments. With regards to the latter, the people around us can sometimes make or break us. Thus, we can construct our social circles to help us become more self-discipline. You can use accountability partners, role models, mentors, and teachers. You can also dip into the dark side and use the negative emotions of public shame and embarrassment to keep you accountable. After all, we work harder to avoid a punch in the face than to eat our favorite food.

• Impulses are the antithesis of self-discipline. They are unpredictable urges that can take over at any point. Studies have shown that impulses are stronger during emotional reactions. Thus, battling impulses is about putting as much time as possible between an emotional reaction and the actual response you give. Delaying tactics, in other words. You can use the ten second/minute rule, label your feelings, write down the facts of a situation without regard to your personal perspective, and ask “why” five times to understand the root of the impulse.

00:02:08 1. Encoding 2. Storage 3. Retrieval

00:13:21 The study cycle

00:28:10 Spaced repetition

00:35:34 Takeaways

Hear it Here - https://adbl.co/3Lz7o1b

• Learning relies on memory, and memory is in turn an interplay between two processes: storing and retrieving information. There are three main steps: encoding, storing and retrieval.

• How well we encode material (i.e. cement it into our minds) depends on the degree and intensity of attention we pay it, as well as the senses through which we encounter it, and our associated emotions.

• When we store memories, we do so either as transient sensory memory, short-term memory or more long-term memory.

• Retrieval is when we return to stored memories and pull them out again, either with a cue or helpful sequence, or without one. We can retrieve information in a few ways: recall it directly (no cues, this is obviously preferable), recognition (remembering something after a cue or prompt, and relearning, which is the least effective and lasting method.)

• Forgetting is a normal state of affairs, and occurs on a “forgetting curve.” Every time we rehearse, however, we refresh this memory, and the subsequent forgetting trails off at a less steep curve. The goal is to rehearse until the curve eventually flattens, and the rate of decay slows enough for you to say, “I’ve permanently learnt this.”

• The study cycle is a process to follow to maximize your learning process given the way memory works. The steps are: preview, attend, review, study and assess, and then begin the cycle again. In a study session, it’s best to flow through each step consciously—establishing context, paying attention, actively reading and engaging, drilling the material and then taking time to assess how well the process went afterwards.

• Retrieval practice is the art of practicing what most cements memories—retrieving them. It is an active process and instills memory firmly.

• Spaced repetition is most effective for practicing retrieval and countering forgetting. Deliberate practice, too, can help you control what you’re practicing, and how this can enhance your learning and knowledge over time.

00:01:26.210 Figure Out Where You Are

00:22:58.799 Rock-Solid Principles for Lasting Motivation and Self-Discipline

Hear it Here - https://bit.ly/PowerOfSelfDiscipline

• Working with the limitations of your own brain requires an honest appraisal of where you are and how you’re functioning. Make it a habit to routinely assess yourself on the following aspects, on a scale of one to ten: Sense of purpose, the presence of positive mentors, sensory rich vision, self-belief, planning and organization, education and skills, patient perseverance, and the ability to see work as play.

• This kind of self-reflection allows you to see exactly what areas you need to work on and see whether your efforts are resulting in progress.

• Depending on which aspects you identify as under-developed, you can do a lot to improve.

• For a stronger sense of purpose, you’ll need to work on self-knowledge, and dig deep into your genuine values. To find positive mentors, reach out to others and network, or simply ask for help and advice from accomplished people.

• To develop sensory rich vision, make a goal collage or practice visualization to conjure up a vivid, five-sense image of the end you’re aiming for. To increase self-belief, actively court failure and rejection—to prove to yourself that your worth as a person doesn’t stem from these things. Meditation, mindfulness, and self-care also go a long way to cultivating self-compassion.

• To have better planning and organization, start by decluttering both your mind and workspace to cut down on distractions. Set up habits that allow you to atomate, delegate and concentrate.

• To build skills and education, keep reading. Become curious, and ask questions, learning where you can. To improve patience and perseverance, focus on the smallest, sustainable change you can make and keep up every day. To see work as play, change your language. Don’t say, “I have to do XYZ,” but instead say, “I choose to do XYZ.” Remember, nobody is forcing you to be the best version of yourself.

• Focus on a few main principles for lasting motivation. These include not waiting for a right time, taking baby steps, working from intrinsic motivation, avoid temptation outright, cutting distractions, monitoring impulses with mindfulness, visualizing in detail our goal, getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and allowing our future selves to advise and guide our present selves.

• Finally, the most important may be to recognize that you will slip up, but will always be ready to forgive, learn from mistakes, and move on to be better next time.

00:28:55.230 Technique #15 Effective Study Methods

• We can improve our capacity to learn and memorize by working with our brain’s innate abilities. Learning is possible for everyone – we just need to use the right strategies.

• Help your brain to have a better recall by weaving a strong neural network that makes as many neural connections between ideas as possible. Connect new pieces of information to as many other pieces of information as you can to cement it in your memory.

• There are two thinking modes – diffuse and focused. We naturally switch between these as our brain alternates effort and rest. Plan for and support these switched by scheduling breaks according to your own biological rhythms.

• The brain can only remember so much information, but it can effectively remember more if you chunk that information. You can chunk by finding narratives, making mind maps or looking for meaningful connections and associations to organize data into simpler units.

• Pavlov famously trained his dogs using classical conditioning. We can do the same when we deliberately plant cues for ourselves and build associations between stimuli and desired behaviors.

• Bad associations from early schooling can undermine our learning. We can undo these by thinking creatively and finding novel ways to bring fun to our own processes, whether we study formally or on our own.

• Finally, deep processing is about the rich understanding we have of a topic rather than a superficial grasp. We need to learn to read for deep comprehension and understanding, which we can test by explaining concepts to others. We are far more likely to retain content if we process content deeply.

• The paradox of expertise is that when we know, we are immediately in a smaller, more limited frame of mind. To embrace humility and curiosity, cultivate a “beginner’s mind.” Build receptivity, curiosity, ambiguity, and playfulness, and be willing to say you don’t know.

• Let go of assumptions and preconceptions, and deliberately seek out counterevidence for the things you believe to be true. With a growth mindset, you can reframe knowledge and skill as something malleable. Finally, invite awe and wonder into your life and immerse yourself in the unknown.

• There are two types of motivation: "Away-from" motivation involves avoiding something undesirable, while "toward" motivation revolves around striving toward a goal. We are all different and motivated by different things, our preferences themselves changing over time. Running away from something works, but it fundamentally contradicts the way that natural talents practice. Instead, frame your goals in positive terms, strike a balance between toward and away-from motivation, and work on interim goals/baby steps.

• Yes or no? Just a simple answer, please, with no BS. This chapter is all about self-interrogation and digging into your excuses and rationalizations to avoid exercising self-discipline. What follows is typically self-awareness at how casually you view avoiding work. There are six questions to bring clarity. Most are indeed yes/no questions to force you to either admit a harsh truth or take action.

• Will this course of action create a gap between my ideal self and my non-desired self? Alternatively, does this action take me closer or farther from my goals?

• Does this action truly represent my intentions? If not, then what the heck am I doing?

• Am I merely uncomfortable? Am I letting mere discomfort keep me from my goals? Am I so mentally weak?

• What would I do if I had no choice but to exercise self-discipline? Certainly not the worst-case scenario.

• Is “I don’t want to” a good enough excuse to not do something? You may have the ability to use this excuse, but what about those who are never able to take a break and have to act every single time? It’s difficult to feel gratitude and lack self-discipline at the same time.

• Am I doing the right thing or the easy thing? There’s usually only one path to what you want, and it’s not typically an easy one.

• Is there a real obstacle to my goal that I can’t overcome? This focuses you on the fact that most of the time, the so-called obstacle is not the problem, but our attitude is. If we wanted to do it, no obstacle would stop us, and if we didn’t want to do it, we wouldn’t, even if there we zero obstacles.

• What is the outcome of this action if I continue along this path? Switch your focus away from instant gratification and see how a decision plays out over time, from ten minutes to ten years into the future. When you choose something, you are also choosing the consequences of that thing, even if those consequences don’t kick in for a while.

• The brain can prefer repetition and habit. Get out of autopilot by using novelty to get out of the default node network. Learn something new, do games and puzzles and attempt things in a novel way.

• Executive skills are those that allow us to exert fine control over our behavior. We can develop our self-control by using mediation to bring us to the moment despite distraction and a wandering mind. Resisting temptation becomes easier with practice, and strengthens our executive function.

• We can improve our emotional regulation by having CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy. We can reappraise situations and our emotional responses, distinguishing between perception and reality, and empowering proactive choice.

• Finally, we can boost our brain’s recall limitations by practicing N-back tasks and other memory games that strengthen our working memory.

• The difference between actual competence and potential competence is called the “zone of proximal development,” where you can achieve with the help of a more knowledgeable other. Working within this sweet spot can help you optimize your practice.

• The Yerkes–Dodson law shows that performance improves with moderate pressure, reaches a peak, but declines if pressure becomes too high or too low. Try to find the optimal stress and challenge level, which may change over time.

Hear it Here - https://bit.ly/PowerOfSelfDiscipline

• Aside from knowledge of the cycle and what you tend to fall prey to, there are specific ways to deal with four of the five phases of the cycle. Regarding unhelpful assumptions, instead embody the empowering belief of the forty percent rule. Regarding discomfort, Change your expectations and actively practice discomfort to build your mental toughness. Regarding excuses, learn how to reframe your excuses and stop falling into the common traps and self-lies. Regarding avoidance activities, it’s a matter of out of sight, out of mind; if you cannot find distractions, you cannot avoid.

• Other general considerations for beating the cycle of lacking self-discipline are creating goals to reduce discomfort and improve time management, and developing skills to stop making excuses so frequently. Beat the cycle!
