The Discipline Code: Train Your Willpower review
A $17.99 ebook on building willpower, credited to a second doctor of Discipline Psychology.
Pass
This is the companion to The Psychology of Self-Discipline, with a different doctor holding the same invented PhD in Discipline Psychology. Small daily actions and habit design are sound advice, but the promise to train your willpower like a muscle rests on a research idea that has struggled in replication. Buyers of one title gain little from the other.

Small actions, habits
The listing emphasises small daily steps and routines.
That part is well supported.
Same degree, another doctor
The Psychology of Self-Discipline credits Discipline Psychology to a different doctor.
The two books overlap heavily.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Julie Graham with a PhD in Discipline Psychology and 37 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 374000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.

The bottom line
