Good Morning America.

An inspiring tribute to the power and promise of self-discipline, this is the second book in the Four Stoic Virtues series.
Ryan Holiday, New York Times bestselling author.

To conquer the world, one must first conquer oneself: one's emotions, one's actions, one's thoughts. Eisenhower said that freedom is the practice of self-discipline. Cicero defined the virtue of temperance as the splendor of life. Without limits and self-control, we not only risk not reaching our potential and losing what we have achieved, but we also ensure a life of humiliation and misery.

In this new book, Ryan Holiday makes the case for temperance as the most important virtue. Throughout history it has been called by many names—self-control, discipline—but they all refer to the same thing: governing rather than being governed; setting your own boundaries; setting your own habits. All of history’s greats have practiced this form of self-control, from baseball legend Lou Gehrig to Queen Elizabeth II, writer Joyce Carol Oates, Emperor Marcus Aurelius, and Martin Luther King Jr., minister and leader of the civil rights movement.
In an age of excess and disorder, self-discipline is needed now more than ever. Do you dare to dig deep to find it? And, more importantly, will you use it? Only with self-discipline can you steer your life toward true fulfillment.
