After reading this book, turns out, no one can teach you self-discipline
Jocko is the drill Sargent that wants the best out of you. But he doesn't want to enforce the discipline. He wants it to come from within you. But how can one cultivate self-discipline? Surprisingly, the book gives to direction in that other than “Just do it”. And I understand that. It's hard to explain how and where self-discipline comes from. What this book is good for is explaining the benefits of self-discipline. It's about busting down your excuses, about countering the self-love movement of do-what-you-love with bullshit,-you-do-this-because-you-need-to.
This book is a breath of fresh air during a time when exerting yourself, doing hardwork and doing tough things is frowned upon. If you want to get shit done, pick this up.
