Ryan Holiday makes the Stoic argument for a bold and daring existence in his New York Times bestseller book Courage is Calling. Holiday honors the incredible power of self-discipline and individuals who have harnessed it in this eagerly awaited second installment of his Stoic Virtue series.
To master anything, one must first become master of their own ideas, feelings, and behaviors. Eisenhower is credited as saying that freedom is actually just the chance to exercise self-control. The temperance virtue was described by Cicero as the polish of life. Without limits and self-control, we run the danger of not only falling short of our potential and compromising our accomplishments, but also of ensuring pain and disgrace. This age-old concept is more pertinent than ever in a society of temptation and excess.
In Discipline is Destiny, Holiday draws inspiration from historical figures like Lou Gehrig, Queen Elizabeth II, boxer Floyd Patterson, Marcus Aurelius, and author Toni Morrison as well as cautionary tales from people like Napoleon, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Babe Ruth to show us the importance of self-discipline. Through these interesting anecdotes, Holiday demonstrates to readers the need of restraint and self-control while also warning them against the dangers of excess and hedonism.
The four basic values of bravery, temperance, justice, and wisdom are at the core of stoicism. The Stoics believed that they are the source of all things. Readers of Discipline is Destiny will be led along the road of self-mastery, which is the foundation for all other virtues. Predictive discipline. Without it, you cannot be successful. And if you lose it, you can't help but bring failure and misery onto yourself.
