Willpower Doesn't Work

I have been reading a book called "Willpower Doesn't Work" by Benjamin Hardy. The basic premise of the book is that your environment determines your success much more than your willpower.
.
A basic example is if you are trying to eat healthier. It's easy to be disciplined and have a lot of willpower in the beginning. You are committed and ready to go, but you never got rid of that box of oreos in the cabinet or that ice cream in the freezer. As the passion and desire from your original commitment wears off, those treats look better and better and eventually, we all know what happens.
.
This premise holds true across many different examples. So the big idea in the book says that instead of trying to rely on your willpower, set yourself up for success with your environment.
.
Get rid of the oreos and ice cream. Don't give yourself a chance for failure.
.
So give this a try. When you are trying to make a big change or commit to something new, clean up the environment and don't give yourself a chance to fail.
.
Want to eat clean? Get rid of all the dirty food in your house.
.
Give this a try with anything you are trying to change. Stop relying on your willpower. Set yourself up for success.

Dr. Matt Maggio is a soft tissue doctor, with a focus on biomechanics and non-invasive treatment of musculoskeletal injuries.
There are no “one size fits all” approaches to treating our patients. Our approach is to simply find the real problem, fix it with real treatments and give our patients the final solution so that they will have the tools to keep the pain fixed. Dr. Maggio will do this by listening, evaluating, diagnosing, treating, testing and retreating to optimize the pain relief for each patient.
A diagnosis should never be made based on the training the practitioner has, but more specifically the problem at hand. That’s why we don’t treat the site of pain – because pain is usually derived from several factors, and in most cases, is a result of diminished capacity from an altered or increased load. Over time, the body compensates by passing the load to other structures which cause a painful response to alert you that something needs to change.
Peak Performance Soft Tissue offers a non-invasive, realistic, non-surgical pain relieving results. Dr. Maggio is well trained and highly skilled in delivering top of the line results.
