so-soThe book was okay. If anything I found it inspirational and motivating. It describes great leaders and it is a good book to gain insight on how to become a good one. It pushes you and gives you some tips on how to become disciplined but it dragged in a many areas and there weren‘t explicit strategies.
pickNovember‘s pick was Discipline is Destiny. I wasn‘t sure about it at first, but ultimately a lot of what he wrote resonated with me, so much that as soon as I finished I re-listened to it. But, November was a good month—strong honorable mentions to Stay True by Hua Hsu and Reagan by Bob Spitz.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Started listening to this and found myself sort of rolling my eyes and thinking, “okaaaaay, Cal Newport,” but as it went on I found a lot of the content actually did really land for me, to the point that once I finished, I immediately listened a second time. The premise is that, rather than self denial, self-discipline is actually the way to achieve contentment and satisfaction. When I let myself let that in I realized he has a point.
Hibernating this for a little bit, just because I need some lighter books this season.
Pausing my other books to try and get through this during the loan period. This is the 2nd in his Virtues series, but I have not read the first one. He‘s a great storyteller, I‘m enjoying this so far, especially intertwined with my other Stoic book.
