Deal Details
Various Retailers have Discipline Is Destiny: The Power of Self-Control by Ryan Holiday (The Stoic Virtues Series; eBook) on sale for $2.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for sharing this deal.

Available from:About this book:
  • Page length: 344
  • 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-disciplinary book for people in need for self-discipline is like an oxymoron. So here my shortest summary to save you the $3 after the $13 discount. I'm lazy so read the summary in 10 min Wink
Physical activity:

Get enough sleep, keep calm, try to seek discomfort (take cold shower, sleep on the ground)
Go for a 10-minute jog, write just one sentence of your novel. Show up, even if it's in a small way.
Mental activity:

Don't succumb to destructive patterns of getting offended, jumping to conclusions, and blaming. Bad situations won't get better through bad reactions toward them.
Don't let fear, anger, or prejudice override your mind. Hone that tiny moment of patience before you respond
Don't try to reach perfection.
If you believe you can grow, you will.

I must exert self-control to stop buying more books I'll probably never read.

Sugar feeds disease. Lookup any of Joel Fuhrman's lectures on youtube, it has helped me get healthy by taking on one healthy habit at a time.

When it comes to self help books, usually the first chapter is the meat of the advice and the rest of the book is to motivate and persuade you up to take those steps. Although it does take self discipline to even read a book these days so most might be better served with the audiobook.

Great advice. Thank you.

Now what about nutrition? Could you give advice about that?

I would infer from this book that you should start small and try improving incrementally towards more water and less sugar. Personally as long time SD-ler i'd say get Costco food whichever is in discount. They know whats best most of the time Smilie

Here's my book on How to Succeed Financially.

1) Write a useless e-book with a title that will lure suckers in.

2) Overprice useless "book".

3) Drop price on overpriced "book" so aforementioned suckers feel like they are saving money.

I like "Obstacle is the way" by Ryan Holiday for the first few chapters, and then it just seems to be repeating the same idea again and again. Not sure how others' feeling about his book, but it really made me hesitate to buy another of his book.
