Personal growth is an ongoing interest of mine, and when I
came across Drew Dyck's Your
Future Self Will Thank You,I was intrigued. I've heard Drew Dyck several times on a
podcast I enjoy, and he is funny! A book that can talk about self-control, the
Bible, and brain science, all while making me chuckle is worth taking the time
to investigate.
This is not a preachy book by any means. Drew Dyck honestly
writes about his fruitless efforts to complete goals, practice self-control,
and learn new habits to improve his life and what research has taught him. This
fact-based book makes it very trustworthy. There is evidence to prove that what
he suggests works. He intersperses each chapter/topic with his own real life
situations and how he did or did not succeed in his efforts, and why.
If you’re
looking for some practical tips on how to create a habit loop, how to grow (and
replenish!) your willpower, and how to conquer your weaknesses, this is the
book for you. There are a lot of gems in here, and it will be worth your while
to learn the secrets to self-control. Who doesn’t want to be freer, happier,
and more productive, as well as being more at peace?
I received this book for free from Moody Publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Sounds interesting, I will have to check it out. I just started a new book Jesus Skeptic by John S Dickerson. He is brilliant. He was a pastor of the church we attended in Prescott Arizona. He was an investigative reporter who became a pastor. Check him out on YouTube but make sure you put his middle initial in as there is another journalist out there with same name.

That sounds like a book worth reading. My life if filled with many good and enthusiastic intentions but I am easily side tracked.
ReplyDeleteWell I ordered this book and it arrived last week. Now I just need to get myself motivated to start reading it!
ReplyDeleteYou’ll read it when it’s the right time! Sometimes books sit on my shelf for a while before I’m in the mood to read them. And when you do read it, Your future self will thank you! 😄
