The Power of Discipline: How to Use Self Control and Mental Toughness to Achieve Your Goals

Very good read. Clear and concise steps to improve your discipline. And understand the challenges holding you back.

Wow, what an amazing book!!! I just finished and plan on reading it again!

This is a solid, accessible guide to building discipline and mental toughness. It won’t magically transform your life overnight, but it gives you the tools and mindset to start making consistent progress toward your goals. For the price, it’s absolutely worth the read.

This book has been really inspiring and it’s a great size to travel well so I can just keep it in my purse. Amazon shipped it quickly which was wonderful. I’m very happy with my purchase! Highly recommend for an inspiring quick read.

Good read. Listened to it via Audiobook but has some good tips and reiterates the ones you already know

after reading chapter 1 i became david gogins

First off the negative: after listening I had to double check the date because some of these motivational talking points I haven't heard in ages, like the 80/20 baloney (80% of value only comes from 20% of people). The first few chapters are filled with fluff, talking about MRI scanning brain activity and there's spots in the brain activated when their discipline is occurring or whatever (as you can tell i barely could pay attention). Then they go on about you should not be easily offended and don't complain which is ok advice for this book, but in my opinion all the conveniences we have today came from people communicating and identifying problems they're having (complainers) but I get the topic of the book I bought and I'll let it slide. The biggest problem i have with this book (other than the cringey motivational tone 'if you listen to this advice your life will change forever and you'll achieve all your goals yipiee!") is how much they look up to authority like Bill Gates or Oprah and they keep naming different athletes and celebrities as the book goes on. Like not everybody respects them or want to be like them. I just want to learn about discipline for my own reason. If I got the physical book I would black out all the unnecessary information. My Last problem but just a minor one, talking about hard work and all that while talking about renting your home and being afraid of renting out to bad tenants as an example in the next sentence is not only a contradiction, it's just scummy behavior in my opinion, for a book that talks about being your best self and all that. All of that being said, there's still good advice in this book. It's just this author and I don't see eye to eye on many things which kind of lowers the value for me. There's nothing mind blowing but I think if you follow the advice and ignore all the motivational mumbo jumbo your life will improve. I just finished the book and I'm gonna try all of these exercises out. This book is big on meditation, i'm skeptical about it but i'm open minded and I'll give it a shot. If I succeed in following in this book I'll edit this review in several months about the results.

It’s concise simple and straightforward

libro preso con l'intenzione di imparare qualcosa , ripete sempre lo stesso concetto

Self discipline is the main point of the book. One of the most useful ideas Daniel gave in this book is to love the process. Many times, we achieve a goal, however small it is, we then forget to keep continuing. However, if we keep following the process, the path to attain the same will become our habit...

Das Buch ist nicht mit irgendwelchen Geschichten überfüllt um eine Lehrer zu erlernen nach 100 Seiten. Es ist aber auch nicht mit zu vielen Lehren gefüllt das man den Überblick verliert wie es oft mit den Büchern von Robort Greene ist. Die perfekte Mitte. Sehr praktisch und vereint viel Wissen von unterschiedlich vielen Büchern die 1 Lehre 300 Seiten schreiben. Top!

Eu queria um livro que me motivasse a ser uma pessoa disciplinada com bons hábitos, a fim de atingir alguns objetivos pessoais. Valeu a pena ler este livro!

This is a practical, no-fluff read that delivers exactly what the title promises. The Power of Discipline focuses on building self-control, mental toughness, and consistency — and it does so in a clear, straightforward way. I appreciated how actionable the advice was. The book breaks down why motivation isn’t enough and offers simple strategies to build discipline through habits, environment design, and discomfort tolerance. It’s easy to follow and doesn’t overcomplicate the psychology. That said, some of the concepts will feel familiar if you’ve read other personal development books. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a solid refresher and a good push if you’re struggling with procrastination or staying consistent. Overall, a strong and practical read — worth it if you’re serious about building better habits and holding yourself accountable.
