Instead of trying to go it alone or wing it, apply lessons from some of history’s greatest thinkers. Harness thousands of years worth of wisdom, not just your own.


Our thoughts determine our actions. Learn from the best and create a self-disciplined mindset.


Philosophies on Self-Discipline brings you the condensed knowledge of philosophers, polymaths, scientists, and psychologists. You will gain a working knowledge of many classic texts and theories, and learn how to apply them to your own modern life.
There is no better way to become a well-rounded person who is also productive on command, and never prone to procrastinating.


Thousands of years of knowledge in one book.


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.


A quintessential guide for procrastinators and couch potatoes.
