The thing I like about this book is that there is no room for the denial. I feel like I'm pretty good at not being in denial about all my many shortcomings and bad habits. So that's kind of EXACTLY the opposite of what the author is advocating for people to do in their lives. The next day (which I had off of work), I slept until 11. On the one hand, I read this book after midnight while eating licorice. And at the end of a fast your food will taste better too. You will realize that you aren't actually hungry most of the time. "Fasting will recalibrate what hunger is to you. We are defeated one tiny, seemingly insignificant surrender at a time that chips away at who we should really be." (p. "Most of us aren't defeated in one decisive battle. But if you feel like you need a break - that is one thing you should procrastinate." (p. There's also an appendix to get you started with working out without complicated machines. The book itself is printed in an innovative way - black pages and white ink. To get a good sense of whether the book is for you, my favorite chapter is also my favorite content from Jocko ever, and it is entitled "Good." (pages 58-60) You can watch him read it here: It's valuable to give as a gift to others who have never heard of Jocko, especially if those people are struggling with execution, as Jocko relentlessly strips away excuses through his short 2-3 page "essays." This can also be entitled "Intro to Jocko's philosophy." The problem is, if you have even listened to a handful of his podcasts, you've got the whole book, so for those who "get" and "like" Jocko, as I do, this book is not valuable. I had originally thought to go with 3.5, but that's not possible on Goodreads, and so I rounded down. 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 optimize 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, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Extreme Ownership 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.
