For any resolution to make it to execution, it requires one core force, Discipline. Motivation is good but you will not always have it. When you’re unmotivated, ‘Discipline’ will be what drives you to do the work even when you hate to. Developing the habit of discipline should therefore be most sought after if you must succeed with your goals and dreams. In ‘Discipline is Destiny’, Ryan Holiday draws on the stories of historical figures we can emulate as pillars of self-discipline, including Lou Gehrig, Queen Elizabeth II, boxer Floyd Patterson, Marcus Aurelius and writer Toni Morrison, as well as the cautionary tales of Napoleon, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Babe Ruth. Through these engaging examples, Holiday teaches readers the power of self-discipline and balance, and cautions against the perils of extravagance and hedonism.
