![]() ![]() Any criticisms of the kind that contain the phrases "it's the same thing over and over," "too short," "predictable," "has been said elsewhere" miss the point entirely. It is essentially like holding Jocko's actual soul in your hands-his beating heart, the many years of his wisdom, and the weight of his experiences. His branding, which is clearest in the embossed picture of his face on the cover, brings this book to a new level of depth. It is black and white, through and through, with stylish photographs and Jocko's distinctive font. It might just be the nicest book I have ever held. The book itself is astonishingly beautiful. But this book actually goes further than simply stating this truth: it exemplifies it and examines various aspects of the philosophy that Jocko has developed over his lifetime. I need to begin by stating the obvious: what Jocko says is extremely valuable and should be in anyone's library, because his central point-that Discipline can make you free-is correct. What I actually received was something much subtler, and more much more important. I purchased this book expecting a short book, possibly composed of aphorisms or principles followed by examples. It is, of course, a distillation of the wisdom found on the Jocko Podcast and his other interviews (with Tim Ferriss on his podcast and in his books, and on the Joe Rogan Experience). There is only one way to achieve true freedom: The Way of Discipline. Within these pages discover the keys to becoming stronger, smarter, faster, and healthier. Discipline Equals Freedom covers it all, including strategies and tactics for conquering weakness, procrastination, and fear, and specific physical training presented in workouts for beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes, and even the best sleep habits and food intake recommended to optimise performance. ![]() Without discipline, there will be no real progress. ![]() Many books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals-but that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. In Discipline Equals Freedom, Willink describes how he lives that mantra: the mental and physical disciplines he imposes on himself in order to achieve freedom in all aspects of life. Jocko Willink's methods for success were born in the SEAL Teams, where he spent most of his adult life, enlisting after high school and rising through the ranks to become the commander of the most highly decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq. ![]()
