Discipline Is Destiny
In Discipline is Destiny, author Ryan Holiday shows how to cultivate willpower, moderation and self-control in our lives. Discipline is Destiny will guide readers down the path to self-mastery, upon which all the other virtues depend, teaching everyone the power of self-discipline and balance, and cautions against the perils of extravagance and hedonism. The book 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.
