How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink is a motivational and inspiring book that encourages readers to embrace discipline as a means of achieving success and personal fulfillment. Willink, a former Navy SEAL and co-founder of the leadership consulting firm Echelon Front, draws on his extensive military experience to provide practical insights and strategies for achieving self-discipline and self-mastery.

The book is divided into several sections, each focused on a different aspect of discipline and how it can be applied in different areas of life, from physical fitness and nutrition to time management and goal-setting. Throughout the book, Willink emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's own life and choices, and the power of discipline in shaping one's destiny.

One of the strengths of the book is Willink's straightforward and no-nonsense approach to self-improvement. He does not offer quick fixes or magic solutions, but rather emphasizes the need for hard work, dedication, and consistency in achieving success. He also provides practical advice and tools for developing discipline, such as establishing daily routines and setting clear goals.

Another strength of the book is Willink's emphasis on the importance of mental discipline and resilience. He acknowledges that life is full of setbacks and challenges, but argues that by embracing discipline and pushing oneself outside of one's comfort zone, one can build the mental toughness necessary to overcome adversity and achieve success.

Overall, Discipline Equals Freedom is an inspiring and empowering book that offers valuable insights and practical advice for anyone looking to develop greater discipline and achieve their goals. Whether you are an athlete, entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to improve your life, this book is definitely worth a read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Love Jocko, Really Disappointed In This Book
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on February 6, 2021
Verified Purchase
I was really excited about getting this book. I'm a big fan of Jocko and Extreme Ownership is probably in my top 10 books of all time. That said, this book really let me down. Every page of the book is a black and white photo with white text on top of it. This makes it very difficult to highlight or make notes about what you are reading.

There are 246 pages but very little written on each page. This actually reads like a compilation of motivational Instagram posts. There is probably an average of 5-8 sentences per page. You could easily read the book in a couple of hours. There wasn't much in the way of actual advice to develop this attitude and action of extreme discipline besides just do it.

The last chapter of Extreme Ownership is Discipline Equals Freedom and I feel like I got more out of that on the topic than this whole book.

I don't usually write reviews but I felt like my opinion was very different from all the 5-star reviews I see so I wanted to share a different perspective on this one.

Not what I was looking for, all about using discipline, not how ro develop it. If I wanted a book to tell me to use discipline with direction to develop it, this would be a good book.

The media could not be loaded.
 Honestly itโ€™s kinda funny reallyโ€ฆ! So been listening to the podcast and in a true โ€œGet After Itโ€ spirit, I wanted to buy Jockoโ€™s nice big book, and at $17.49 I figured it was a great deal!! Whoever printed this thing though mustโ€™ve not been getting after it though, because the WHOLE BOOK is printed upside down! So the back cover, if you rotate it 180ยฐ, is actually the front cover! Itโ€™s kinda hilarious honestly and maybe one day will be worth more than a standard copy, BUTโ€ฆ for now itโ€™s a factory defectโ€ฆ and honestly I kinda want a discount if Iโ€™m getting a wonky defect bookโ€ฆ. But Iโ€™m not expecting much honestlyโ€ฆ! Anyway, itโ€™s readable so, thatโ€™s good at least! So I can at least still โ€œti retfa teGโ€

2.0 out of 5 stars 2 pages per day is all you need with this one!

More of a daily inspirational/motivational book. Wasnโ€™t all it was hyped up to be. Not something to sit and read for 10-20-30 pages at a time. 2 pages of a motivating theme. One line paragraphs. Sometimes only 10-15 sentences per page. Then onto the next motivating theme on the next page.

Not a very meaty book. Reads like a blog post of some old man yelling at you. At large part of the book is the appendix of excercises

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the same as Extreme Ownership
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on May 3, 2021
Verified Purchase
Extreme Ownership is an amazing book, and if you haven't read that I'd strongly recommend it over Discipline Equals Freedom. I am a huge fan of Jocko's views on topics, but this felt more like an array of random topics that could be covered in a five minute youtube video (which he has!). Rather than motivating your goals, half the book is spent motivating you towards Jocko's lifestyle, a change which most people would view as extreme. While it's important to adopt his ideas on exercise, discipline, and willpower, his views on the Paleo diet and waking up at 4 in the morning seem rather niche to his goals. For some people this will provide the necessary push to recognize that everything in life requires discipline, but that idea is better conveyed in Exteme Ownership and the youtube video made by Jocko called Discipline Equals Freedom.
