Discipline Is Destiny by Ryan Holiday Pdf

The instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestseller! In his New York Times bestselling book Courage is Calling, author Ryan Holiday made the Stoic case for a bold and brave life. In this much-anticipated second book of his Stoic Virtue series, Holiday celebrates the awesome power of self-discipline and those who have seized it. To master anything, one must first master themselves–one’s emotions, one’s thoughts, one’s actions. Eisenhower famously said that freedom is really the opportunity to practice self-discipline. Cicero called the virtue of temperance the polish of life. Without boundaries and restraint, we risk not only failing to meet our full potential and jeopardizing what we have achieved, but we ensure misery and shame. In a world of temptation and excess, this ancient idea is more urgent than ever. In Discipline is Destiny, 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. At the heart of Stoicism are four simple virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. Everything else, the Stoics believed, flows from them. Discipline is Destiny will guide readers down the path to self-mastery, upon which all the other virtues depend. Discipline is predictive. You cannot succeed without it. And if you lose it, you cannot help but bring yourself failure and unhappiness.

Self-Discipline by Sam Living Pdf

Are you not satisfied with your life? Do you feel like you don't have control? Do you pursue goals you've never achieved yet? If you have struggled with the idea of following through with your promises, meeting standards, or even just staying organized in the face of work, this book is for you. Maybe you have always had a problem with people being able to convince you to do things that you did not want to do, or you have found that you are readily and easily swayed by being invited to something fun rather than getting through your work that needs to be finished. If you have found that your relationships, personal and private, have suffered because of a lack of self-discipline, then you may have a very simple solution to your problems... You need to learn how to be self-disciplined. When you are self-disciplined, you are able to act with intention. You make sure that what you are doing is being done because it is the right thing to do, and it needs to be done. You are not likely to give in to impulse or to fear failure. When you are self-disciplined, you become the person you have always known you can be. Now, you may have your doubts, but try to cast them aside and consider this for a moment: If you are not self-disciplined, you likely give in to instant gratification. Something pleasant is offered to you, and you take it, no matter what the consequence will be, and that is problematic. If you are willing to have a little bit of fun now, even though it will be a big headache for you in the coming days or weeks, you may seriously need this book. This book will teach you how to learn to be self-disciplined. With a breakdown of everything you will need to know as you begin your self-discipline journey, you will find that you are far more prepared to start implementing the necessary changes to your life to ensure that you truly live in a way that is disciplined.

Willpower by Roy F. Baumeister,John Tierney Pdf

One of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it. "Deep and provocative analysis of people's battle with temptation and masterful insights into understanding willpower: why we have it, why we don't, and how to build it. A terrific read." —Ravi Dhar, Yale School of Management, Director of Center for Customer Insights Pioneering research psychologist Roy F. Baumeister collaborates with New York Times science writer John Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the most coveted human virtue: self-control. Drawing on cutting-edge research and the wisdom of real-life experts, Willpower shares lessons on how to focus our strength, resist temptation, and redirect our lives. It shows readers how to be realistic when setting goals, monitor their progress, and how to keep faith when they falter. By blending practical wisdom with the best of recent research science, Willpower makes it clear that whatever we seek—from happiness to good health to financial security—we won’t reach our goals without first learning to harness self-control.
