This is why it’s good – I read this in Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss – when Jocko said that he reads books that help put his life in perspective. Stress is generally caused by what you can’t control. Whatever problems or stress you are experiencing, Jocko says, detach from them. And then you can SET IT FREE.” You won’t win every day but move forward. You are declaring martial law on your mind. I love this passage he says “So next time you are feeling weak or lazy or soft or emotional tell those feelings they don’t get a vote. The more you use it and make decisions, the stronger you get. You have control over your mind, you just have to assert it. How can I wake up early in the morning? WAKE UP EARLY. What about weakness? How do I stop eating sugar? STOP EATING SUGAR. Because 5 minutes is never just 5 minutes, is it? But start here: 5 minutes. Here and now.įor me, I like to just get started. You want to stop procrastinating? When should I start? Here and now. So think about the word discipline and the word self-discipline. It was that moment that makes you stronger. Tomorrow we’ll rest “but not today”.Īnd then you’ll find that it wasn’t rest we needed at all. And if that’s the case that you need this rest more than anything – then we’ll rest tomorrow. You know the excuses that say: Not today, not now, I need a rest, I will do it tomorrow. Discipline defeats the infinite excuses, he says. And the root of all good qualities is discipline.
He starts “Discipline Equals Freedom” talking about discipline and how “the shortcut is a lie”. He’s most well-known for his book “Extreme Ownership” and The Jocko Podcast which I turn to on occasion when I want to jolt myself and get moving. He was in combat in Iraq during the battle of Ramadi, wherein he gained many medals for his efforts. Jocko served 20 years as a Navy Seal and his credentials are pretty much endless. Jocko Willink’s new book “Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual” is exactly what you think it will be. With all of this said, let’s take a look at Jock Willink’s new book! And sometimes the best way to just get through the day, is to focus on your work.
Some would say, that the people who did, are the most screwed up! Very funny! On the other hand, there is something to be said for having goals, and making your dreams a reality. Sometimes it is better to focus on healing in your life. And as such, this next book may not be for you. As counselors, we read books from all walks of life.
