Created from the #1 business podcast on iTunes, JOCKO PODCAST, former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink brings to the reader his methods for success first honed in battle in Iraq as leader of SEAL Team Three. For most of his adult life Willink served with the SEALs, rising through the ranks to become the commander of the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit in Iraq. In his new book, DISCIPLINE EQUALS FREEDOM - FIELD MANUAL (St. Martin's Press, on sale October 17, 2017, $24.99), Willink describes how he lives the mantra that the mental and physical disciplines he imposes on himself allow him to achieve freedom in all aspects of life.
The marketplace is littered with scores of books that offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals, but every one of them fails to touch on the most important aspect of making this a reality - DISCIPLINE. Without it, there is no real progress. Without it, there is always a chance of slipping up. Without it, there's a stronger desire to take the easy way out.
In DISCIPLINE EQUALS FREEDOM, Jocko begins with how to mentally prepare yourself to succeed. He follows with the actions necessary to implement your game plan. Jocko discusses how fuel and proper nutrition are vital to keeping your mind and body in peak form. He also discusses injury prevention and recovery when engaging in physical activity, and then concludes with workouts you need to make your personal machine - your body - the peak operating "vehicle" it needs and deserves to be.
