Summary
An inspiring anthem to the power, promise and challenges of self-control, the second in a series examining the timeless Stoic virtues from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ryan Holiday.
The inscription on the Oracle of Delphi says: 'Nothing in excess.' C.S. Lewis described temperance as going to the 'right length but no further.' Easy to say, hard to practice—and if it was tough in 300 BCE, or in the 1940s, it feels all but impossible today. Yet it's the most empowering and important virtue any of us can learn.
Drawing on ancient Stoic wisdom and examples across history and around the world, Ryan Holiday shows why self-control is so vital, and how to cultivate it in our own lives. Moderation is not about abstinence: it is about creativity, self-respect, focus and balance. Without it, even the most positive traits become vices. But with it, happiness and success are assured: it is the only way to live an extraordinary, fulfilled and effective life.

Got me to quit drinking
Now I wasn’t the type of person who drank every night however I would link events with drinking and as these events started to pile up I was drinking heavily every week. The book inspired me to take hold of my destiny and change my life for the better this negative spiral was effecting my health, my business and most importantly my family so I have to thank Ryan for his inspiration.
Taking the actions of the person you want to become now makes all the difference.
PS this is my first review on Audible with a library of 400+ so what does this tell you about how good the book is?

This Book Changed My Life
From learning how to say 'no' to cutting toxic people from my life, to having a strong morning routine to set me up to make the most of each day, this book was the catalyst for so much positive change in my life and I've never looked back. I've read/listened to it twice now, in amongst Ryan's other books and I will continue to read and listen to them going forward

Good stuff
Very helpful to listen to whilst working out, parenting, doing housework, travelling etc…
A guide to live by, Ryan’s deep immersion into the world of stoicism is apparent and brilliant.

Good author but this book was not for me.
Although I like the author I didn't find this book that great as I found that there was too much irrelevant story telling. Obstacle is the way is a great book which I've read and now will give stillness is the key a go.

Game Changer
Massively inspirational, non judgemental and fabulous delivery from Ryan. Even with no love for the monarchy and what they stand for I could see the bigger picture during the chapters surrounding the Queen.
What sets "Discipline is Destiny" apart is its non-judgmental tone. Instead of chastising or guilt-tripping readers for past mistakes, Ryan offers a compassionate perspective. He acknowledges that discipline is a lifelong journey, one where we are bound to falter at times. It's a refreshing departure from the often punitive rhetoric of self-help literature.
