Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Lots of "rah rah" palaver about the value of self-discipline with almost nothing about how to acquire it. The book is stuffed with quotations from famous dead people and the authors of other self-help books, making you wonder if the authors of this book have ever read anything other than self-help books and Bartlett's Familar Quotations. The one useful idea that I got from the book is that most people can get by on less sleep than they think. The authors don't tell you how to do it, but they're probably right. The authors are rather boastful about their own self-discipline but are unable to share that success with their readers in any useful way. You could tear out every other page and, aside from transition problems, never notice their absence.
I bought another book on self-discipline at the same time as this one. The second, Self-Discipline in 10 Days, was excellent. It included practical, step-by-step, how-to-do-it information. There were almost no quotes or success stories.

Your mind is your greatest asset and guiding force in acquiring discipline. We show you how to acquire discipline for yourself on your own terms. The amount of discipline you possess determines the level of success in your life. As a result, you will learn how to make the best of every minute everyday.Discipline embodies many positive attributes that help you eliminate those negative obstacles that you struggle with on a daily basis. Self-help books that target specific areas, i.e., weight loss, achieving success, confidence-building, etc., are totally ineffective if you lack discipline. That deficiency has kept you from applying those previous readings to your life.Charts for your Current, Recommended and PRIME (Personally Regulated Improvement Model to Excel) routines are included. Suggestions are given on everything from daily exercise routines, eating healthy and sleep experimentation. How you manage these areas determines the quality of your life.Discipline is the most critical tool that we all need to consistently strive to be better and it can be learned. This knowledge is not only important for you, but also for your children, society and generations to come. Our goal is to make discipline a household word again one mind at a time.--This text refers to the Paperback edition.
