    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.



    This episode, titled "Philosophies On Self-Discipline," draws inspiration from the book of the same name by Peter Hollins, available for more exploration on his website at bitly.slashPeterHollins. Buckle up and get ready to discover how some of the brightest thinkers tackled the challenges of self-control and achieving your goals.
