Discipline Is Destiny
Mentions in Episodes:
- Episode: How Ryan Holiday's New Book Completely Changed His View Of Stoicism (Ft. Billy Oppenheimer)
Podcast: The Daily StoicI have a line in 'Discipline and Destiny' because I was very impressed with Queen Elizabeth II.
- Episode: World Leading Performance Psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais On The Stoic Path To Mastery
Podcast: The Daily StoicYeah, I—I have a part of it in, uh, in discipline as destiny; he says for six years now I’ve been hopelessly afflicted, made worse by the senseless doctors for year two, deceived with hopes of improvement, finally compelled to face the prospect of a lasting malady whose cure will take years and perhaps be impossible.
- Episode: Adrian Grenier On How Turning To Philosophy Saved His Life
Podcast: The Daily StoicI mean, I just mean by even those old metrics like, okay, my last book 'Discipline Is Destiny' is the book that I have checked on the sales the least, where I actively made decisions that made hitting bestseller lists less likely.
- Episode: Ryan Holiday And Guy Raz On Using Stoicism To Improve Your Life
Podcast: The Daily StoicIf you, I would not recommend writing a book called 'The Obstacle is the Way,' a book called 'Ego is the Enemy,' a book called 'Stillness is the Key,' a book called 'Courage is Calling,' or 'Discipline is Destiny.' Because then people expect you to be all those things, which is of course impossible.
- Episode: Ryan Holiday And Guy Raz On Using Stoicism To Improve Your Life
Podcast: The Daily StoicThat’s why I open 'Discipline's Destiny' with the story of Lou Gehrig, who has the longest streak in the history of baseball until it’s broken by Cal Ripken.
- Episode: Ryan Holiday And Guy Raz On Using Stoicism To Improve Your Life
Podcast: The Daily StoicAs a person who has found a lot of healing and recovery in the 12-step rooms, I was very surprised to see you write about it in both Stillness is the Key and Discipline is Destiny. So I'm curious as to how that came about or why you were inspired to do that because the only other one I found was Russell Brand's recovery book.
