365 Days With Self-Discipline: 365 Life-Altering Thoughts on Self-Control, Mental Resilience, and Success: 5 (Simple Self-Discipline)

I read one of the short passages every day (as it’s intended), I find it helps me focus and keep on track with my goals. Takes a few minutes a day, definitely worth a buy.

In case you can't be bothered to read the whole review let me start by saying I highly recommend this book, no reservations. I have read a number of self help books and most of them that are aimed at "success" mean financial success. This book is aimed at helping the reader develop self-discipline to achieve their goal whatever they may be - eat less, get fitter, drink less, be happier, run a successful business. Some of the ideas have been out there for a while, many were completely new to me. Even those I had met before were worth re-reading and some of the new ones have struck home. I have found them all useful, some significantly so. The fact that MM quotes well known people from all walks of life makes the reading more fun. Because each "day" is about a page long the book is easy to read and digest. I recommend it to anyone wanting to get a better grip on any aspect of their life, even time management.

Well, 365 days of thoughts to assist with your drive for greater ‘Self Control and Mental Discipline’. The book is divided into Chapters/Days each with an appropriate ‘quote’ from various sources such as stoic philosophers; self-help gurus through to heads of industry and horror writers even including a well known if infamous British Occultist (some you will know others you may need to check). The quote is only the ‘opener’ as the author then expands or adds to these thoughts, suggesting how the ethos may be incorporated into YOUR life assisting you in moving forward, understanding and overcoming the challenges you face. It is a large composition as it is designed to cover the 365 days of the year, therefore, presents the reviewer with a problem to review the work you need to step outside of the authors intention (to provide the reader/seeker with daily thoughts to guide them in their journey) and read through the chapters sometimes forgoing the reflection on the content. Having said that the initial read gives a flavour of the content and does allow for a return visit to further the understanding and usefulness of the wisdom contained in the chapters. I have a Kindle issue and feel a printed issue would be advantageous but the cost of the printed copy is somewhat prohibitive, so I will be saving the pennies to allow for the purchase! A worthwhile read which gives the seeker food for thought and a direction in which to seek an answer. I will give a rating of 4* to a considered and helpful work that will I am sure form a compass for those wishing to move forward in their life.

Good book with a lot of helpful tips. Although I found it got a little wishy washy after about 250 days.

So far, this book has helped us keep to a good diet, quit smoking, cut back on alcohol, exercise more, and handle stressful and demanding situations more rationally. As part of a morning routine, we start the day with a page from this book that sets the day off in the right direction prompting self-control, and positive thinking. “Do I really need to buy that, eat this, let the negative and doubts get to me: the answer, almost always is No! “Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: everything around you that you call life was made up of people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use”. - Steve Jobs. Page 37.

I loved this book and the insights it gave to living a better more self-disciplined life. Each day starts off with a great quote and you can tell that Martin is well read in the personal development field. Instead of one a day, I batch read the days and found them useful. Highly recommended.

Such an amazing book that I would recommend to everybody. It is truly inspirational and will be kept close for as long as I am able to read. I WILL be going over them all again. The evaluation of the quotes gives you a lot to think about that day. It is clear he is very knowledgeable in this field and you would save yourself from a mediocre life if you pick this book up, mull over the ideas and slowly implement them. (I bought this book on Kindle)

Good resource for building new habits. I like the bite size daily lessons. More manageable than similar resources I have used. Still intend to dip in and out regularly. I looked forward to reading my daily advice when I got up. Just started on another of his on Grit.

Its been 3 weeks since I started this book. Like it so far. Each day has a short message on how to develop self-discipline and the author explains it very well. Content for each day is very short, you can start your day sipping coffee and reading that day's page. I recommend reading it in the morning and reflecting on a journal at night. It helps the message to sink in. To be honest, my life has not changed drastically in 3 weeks. But I'm certain that the lessons I learned from this book started popping up in my mind when I do my usual procrastination. I will revise this review after a few months.

Exactly like "Tools of Titans" should have been! I'm very impressed with this book. Martin Meadows took his writing to the next level with it. I can't recall another book that fits its purpose to the T like "365 Days with Self-Discipline." I've read thousands of books in my life, and hundreds of them were nonfiction guidebooks. Maybe two or three were just as precise in matching their mission and the actual content. So, why the reference to the Tools of Titans? Well, the premise of Ferris' book was to be virtually mentored by the best. However, it's clear from reviews that Tim Ferris didn't deliver. Even the mentors he chose were questionable and readers complained a lot about how confusing the whole book was, and how nuggets of wisdom were hidden among a lot of fluff. "365 Days with Self-Discipline" does not have these flaws. The role models are the greatest people from our history (Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, John Quincy Adams, and Benjamin Franklin to name just a few). The chapters are precise and concise. It's written the way Tools of Titans should have been. I've followed Martin Meadows' progress since the beginning of his career, and now that I've seen how he's progressed, he definitely has Tim Ferris-like potential. No Cons Some reviewers complained that the book is a bit repetitive. I don't mind that at all. Jim Rohn said that there are only few to several fundamentals of success. "There are no new fundamentals. You've got to be a little suspicious of someone who says, 'I've got a new fundamental.' That's like someone inviting you to tour a factory where they are manufacturing antiques." - Jim Rohn Therefore, I don't mind that Meadows comes back to self-discipline all the time and repeats his nutrition or exercise tips here and there. If you want to chase shiny objects, you have the whole Internet full of that. If you want to become more self-disciplined you need to be ready for some repetitions. PROS 1. Quotes. My respect for the author climbed to another level when I realized how well read he is. I've read thousands of books in my life and still at least half of the quotes in this book were foreign to me. The choice of the mentors he quoted were both very wide and very wise. Martin Meadows picked only the best quotes from ancient philosophers to modern authors. 2. Lessons. I love practically all the lessons Martin Meadows provides. He took brevity to the next level. I don't think any of the "chapters" were more than three pages on my Kindle. The lessons directly tackle the particular sage's saying; they're very concise. They are also very personal and I love it. I consider this an advantage of self-publishing over traditional publishing. The author can share is life lessons without censorship. Martin accompanies plenty of the quotes he uses with his experience. He is not afraid to admit his past mistakes at all. I expected smart lessons from Martin Meadows, but I didn't expect wisdom. The combination of the greatest human minds reflections and his own insights is truly moving. It's the only one of his books I can classify as "inspirational." 3. Implementation. Moreover, you can pick dozens of practical tips and implement them right away. I took at least several ideas for my journaling sessions from "365 Days with Self-Discipline". Martin generously shares his own hacks for nutrition, exercises, running a business, building great relationships. He covers all the important areas of life and he does it straight from his heart without sounding like a guru or acting like he doesn't make mistakes. In fact, he draws the best tips and lessons from his past mistakes. 4. Masterpiece! I didn't read this book as it is supposed to be read - one chapter a day. I was too impatient for that. Still, it is a thick volume and it took me a few months between all the other books I read. I found everything in this book: inspiration, determination, self-discipline, useful daily rituals, common sense, practical tips- all condensed into a couple pages at the time. Here is my tip for you: "365 Days with Self-Discipline" will make a great foundation for your morning ritual if you don't have one yet. Read just one chapter a day in the morning. This is simultaneously easy and useful. You have a clear task ahead, so it's hard to miss this discipline or get confused by your lazy subconscious mind. Wake up, grab the book, read 1–3 pages. The end. After a few months of this practice, you can stack another habit on top of daily reading and scale up your morning ritual. Birds of a Feather Flocks Together I wholeheartedly recommend "365 Days with Self-Discipline" If you want to be more like a successful best-selling author Martin Meadows, you should read this book. Plus, you may become more like hundreds of the coolest human minds in the history.

It has been very good wake up each morning with a positive message, this book has helped me to be more optimistic and confident in several areas of my life, I really recommend it for everyone who wants to be nourished with positive thoughts, it is simple and easy to read, it must be used as a medicine, one pill per day in the morning will work very well.
