The host praised the book, saying it nailed the idea that talking about a goal and actually doing it compete for the same resources, so you should allocate your energy to execution.
"
Ryan Holiday... he's got his book, Discipline is Destiny, from this year, I thought was fantastic. And this quote really, really nailed it for me. So talking about the thing and doing the thing, vie for the same resources. Allocate your energy appropriately.
Talking about the thing and doing the thing, vie for the same resources. Allocate your energy appropriately. It also encourages you to just focus on executing.

The speaker discussed Napoleon's essay contest entry from his youth, where he predicted his own downfall due to lack of self-discipline. The speaker also mentioned how the book explores the importance of self-awareness and tempering ambition.
"
In Discipline is Destiny, which would be the second book in the series, I talked a lot about Napoleon.
And I have a chapter on this essay contest that Napoleon entered as a young man.
It's a fascinating essay, as you'll see, because Napoleon basically predicts all of his vices, all of the trouble he gets himself, he basically spells out what would be his own downfall, what he didn't have the discipline to contain, and what so many powerful people don't have the discipline to contain.
It's good to want to do things and to follow your talents and potential where they go. That's another thing I talk about in Discipline is Destiny.
But if all you're thinking about is your own potential, what you ambition, it will inevitably destroy you.
Episode: Temper Your Ambition | A Cautionary Tale From Napo...
The book discusses Napoleon's essay contest entry where he predicted his own downfall due to a lack of self-discipline, serving as a cautionary tale about ambition. The author also explores the importance of self-awareness and the need to temper ambition to avoid self-destruction and harm to others.
"
In Discipline is Destiny, which would be the second book in the series, I talked a lot about Napoleon.
It's good to want to do things and to follow your talents and potential where they go. That's another thing I talk about in Discipline is Destiny.
Ambition which overthrows governments and private fortunes, which feeds on blood and crimes. Ambition is, like all inordinate passions, a violent unthinking fever which ceases only when life ceases, like a conflagration which fanned by a pitiless wind ends only after all has been consumed.
The author deserved to be whipped, Napoleon said of his younger self.

The author gave a preview of this book, mentioning themes of avoiding the superfluous and realizing how little one needs for a happy life. He reflected on past experiences, such as a former job and his first book deal, to illustrate this point.
"
I tell a story of Cato the elder and he says nothing is cheap if it is superfluous.
I say this in the chapters, think about how content you were with less just a few years ago. How much more frugal you were by necessity? How much less you got by on?
And when you realize this that the less you desire the richer you are, the freer you are, the more powerful you are. You have something that can't be taken away from you.
So the Stoics want you to realize how little you need for the happy life.
And that's a little preview of the new book, Discipline is Destiny, which you can grab now. Anywhere books are sold.
Episode: Don’t Be A Snob
The book emphasizes self-discipline and the power of self-control, highlighting that having a strong moral code does not give one the right to control others. It was mentioned that the book was selling very well, exceeding sales of another book called Courage.
"
It's great that you've done this work. It's great that you've learned so much. It's great that you have a strong code and set of standards that doesn't give you the right to lord it over anyone else.
It's your code. It's for self-discipline, and we forget this at our peril.
Discipline is destiny is about discipline but that very specific kind of discipline, self-discipline. It's about the power of self-control.
And often when I sign the book and I'm assigning a bunch of them for the holidays, I underline self a couple times. Self-discipline. This isn't about lording yourself, your standard, your stoicism about other people. It's about being the master of yourself. That's what the book is about.
it's been selling like crazy more than 60% up over courage which has just blown me away.

"
yes it's called discipline is destiny it's the second in this four virtues series I'm doing but like the idea is I'm not done yet so I can't say yet but like by the there is this point where you finish and then it goes to the printer or whatever like you can't touch it anymore I have to I have to be it has to have succeeded or failed at that moment does that make sense like uh I see I would say like on my first book which came out it's crazy to think my first book I was just thinking about this is exactly ten years old and I would say with my first book it was ten percent satisfied with it intrinsically for what I did and 90 percent like are people gonna like it is the first book trust me online yeah yeah you know how many copies it had sailed and it had the bestseller list you know blah blah blah and I would I'm I'm think or I would like to think that I'm closer to flipping that ratio but ideally you get to a place where your totally self-contained the zen like sage uh place would be like you do what you do and you don't even know how it does right like it just is that seems laughably far away for somebody who creates things or for me creating things like I am always interested in what people think up until I wouldn't say it's under no healthy it way but it man does it push the limit sometimes but can it affect your mood or happiness very for short periods of time yeah certainly not like for a day but for like a few minutes I'm like well that's a bunch of crap and then I'm like uh whatever it's some dude on the internet on YouTube especially it's like nah one of the there used to be this set called novel rank and you could like type in your name and it would tell you the in real time the amazon rank of all your books in every country they were probably that seems like and and it like some for some reason it like closed like six or seven years ago and I would say that that that it was one of the greatest moments because now I can't check it and I couldn't think about it and then you realize like oh when you when you every time I've taken some step like in my system or my process that's like insulated me a little bit more from like real-time feedback or or like hearing like I feel like the work has gotten better but also my happiness has gotten better yeah that makes it that's the equivalent for podcasters of like checking your apple or Spotify rank all the time not that I did that but if I did it would definitely get old really fast yeah so what point in the book process do you get the tattoo like when you publish it after it becomes a bestseller what when does the tattoo have all of these I got before the book came out and then oh staring because when it's like no we really use this title well no it is it is a negotiating it's a bit of leverage with the publisher it's on my body and I won't tell you where so we have to use it although like so on the on the discipline book like I went through a bunch of different titles and this was the latest ever in the process that I've I've changed the title yeah um and so like if I've gotten it earlier that would have been that would have been back but I usually try to build the book around the title so I've known for a really long time what it's going to be um but yeah I've part of it would be yeah it's not oh it did well I want to get a tattoo yeah no I'm trying to get a tattoo of something I feel like I need to be reminded of that also happens to be a book down which is why I don't have titles for my or tattoos for my marketing books that makes sense because I was like what is he going to do if it doesn't become a bit like you put big bird over it or something you do you're so backed into a corner at that point
I'm about to start the process on what will be the third book
I was like there's no way these books coming together I don't know who the characters are going to be I don't think I have the material I don't know if I'm qualified to do the book I don't know if I wanted to like all these thoughts were running my head because I was comparing it to the book that I just finished and as I was going through my notebooks which as I do all my books and those are sort of going through them I found a no card that I'd written to myself and then we can sort of send messages to ourselves in the future this way I guess but I was like you will probably not think that this book is going to come together but if you show up every day and do your no cards the book will reveal itself

It's actually funny the original title of discipline is Destiny because I wanted to make this distinction so clear, it was going to be self-discipline is salvation.

I often just double underline self in the subtitle just to make that distinction itself disciplined.
It's actually a chapter about that at the end of the book.

Episode: A Person Without Boundaries Is Not a Person | 7 St...
The podcast host mentioned adding a chapter on boundaries to the book, emphasizing that discipline is not just about hard work or abstinence but about defining one's limits and communicating them. It was described as one of the most important chapters and a key concept of the book.
"
Actually, Boundaries is the last chapter that I put in discipline. I thought the book was done and then I just kept coming back to this idea that Boundary discipline isn't just like working really hard. It's not just abstaining from eating this or that. It's not just not losing your temper but the discipline to be like, this is who I am. This is what I'm comfortable with. This is what I'm not comfortable with.
So as the last chapter I wrote in the book, I think one of the most important ones. And I just think it's important that we understand this more expansive idea of discipline. And this discipline determines who we are. That's the premise of discipline is destiny.
If you haven't read the book, I think you'll like it. Selmaik Crazy has been an honor to hear from all of you. Have read it. You can check it out. Discipline is destiny.

Disparative at the beginning I thought like I talked about in the end of discipline is destiny thought about asking for an extension again thought I really needed it. I didn't know if the material was going to be there but if you remember the email from a couple days ago the Hemingway one that piece of advice from Hemingway that all you can do is keep going and don't stop to get to the other side that's all you can do well that advice served me well and here we are with a draft of the book editing and other stuff will commence from here still lots of work to do, but the only way out is through and I made it through or I made it through to checkpoint you know whatever and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm sitting there like I just thought this into existence this is crazy why would you do that to yourself saying that right
I was reading about and you probably know but I was reading about Tim Hardaway Jr. and his father Tim senior and that the struggle they had with each other is it sounds like you know again to be driven and graded something often you can be really hard on yourself right you have that voice and inside you the one we're talking about with a cobia who remember that says like man if you don't hit a hundred shots like you suck right or if you don't do this if you if you're not putting in the work you're gonna fall off they're gonna that that's sort of voice of paranoia and ambition and drive that can make you really good at what you do as long as it's an interior voice the only person you're hurting is yourself the problem is now all of a sudden there is a much younger much more vulnerable person who looks at you as the most important person in the world and now they're hearing that voice and that can be devastating

I'm Ryan Holliday and my new book discipline is destiny. The power of self control is now up for preorder.
And in the book, I talk about this idea, this idea from the stoics that discipline is the most important virtue without it without self control. Without boundaries, we risk not only failing to meet our full potential and jeopardizing what we've achieved, but we ensure misery and shame.
And what was true in 300 BC is true today in a world of far more temptations and access this ancient idea, the second of the cardinal virtues. It's more urgent than ever.
And it dukes that it's a brisk and absorbing read and Stephen Pressfield just told me that he read the whole thing straight through and really loved it, said he can't recommend it enough, especially the last chapter.
