Discipline Equals Freedom
A short, deliberately blunt field manual for self-discipline
Jocko Willink's compact book of directives on getting up early, training, and acting when you do not feel like it, with sections on nutrition and workouts at the back. It is written to be reread in 90 seconds when motivation fails rather than studied. Not a subtle book, by design.
