Books and More: The Path of Discipline

"Discipline is everything!" You hear that a lot and deep down you know it, but somehow it's hard to stick to it. Going to bed early, following a nutrition plan, and much more. Jocko Willink, a former Navy SEAL, has written a motivational book to instill discipline in you.

On 208 pages kept in black and white, the author wants to bring you closer to his view on discipline and the path to it.

Jocko Willink dedicates the book to his former comrades Marc Lee, Mike Monsoor, and Ryan Job.

Despite its 200 pages, the book is quickly read, as the words are given a lot of space. This makes the written words even more compelling.

In the first half, Jocko presents his thoughts on various topics to us. It's quite emotional but not cheesy.

In the second half, it's all about the actions that lead to discipline and also result from it. Whether it's sleep, nutrition, or training.

According to Jocko Willink, fitness is particularly important for discipline. In the end, he provides sample training plans for beginners...

...and also for advanced individuals. All explained briefly and succinctly with suggestions on how to vary.

A strong back can also delight, especially when it is backed by an undeniable truth.
