La disciplina marcara tu destino / Discipline Is Destiny: The Power of

Description: "Ryan Holiday ha traido las antiguas ensenanzas del estoicismo a millones de lectores, desde atletas y politicos hasta directores ejecutivos". -Good Morning America Un inspirador tributo al poder y la promesa de la autodisciplina; este es el segundo libro de la serie "Las 4 virtudes estoicas" -Ryan Holiday, autor superventas de The New York Times. Para conquistar el mundo, uno debe conquistarse primero a si mismo: las emociones, las acciones y los pensamientos. Eisenhower dijo que la libertad es la practica de la autodisciplina. Ciceron definio la virtud de la templanza como el esplendor de la vida. Sin limites ni autocontrol, no solo nos arriesgamos a no alcanzar nuestro potencial y a perder lo que hemos logrado, sino que, ademas, nos aseguramos una vida de humillacion y miseria. En este nuevo libro, Ryan Holiday defiende la templanza como la virtud mas importante. A lo largo de la historia ha recibido distintos nombres -autocontrol, disciplina...- pero todos hacen referencia a lo mismo: a gobernar en lugar de ser gobernado; a establecer tus propios limites; a marcar tus propios habitos. Todos los grandes de la historia han practicado esta forma de autodominio, desde la leyenda del beisbol Lou Gehrig, hasta la reina Isabel II, la escritora Joyce Carol Oates, el emperador Marco Aurelio y Martin Luther King Jr., ministro y lider del movimiento por los derechos civiles. En una epoca de excesos y desorden, la autodisciplina es ahora mas necesaria que nunca. ?Te atreves a cavar hondo para encontrarla? Y, mas importante, ?la usaras? Solo con autodisciplina podras dirigir tu vida rumbo a la verdadera realizacion. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn his New York Times bestselling book Courage is Calling, author Ryan Holiday made the Stoic case for a bold and brave life. In this much-anticipated second book of his Stoic Virtue series, Holiday celebrates the awesome power of self-discipline and those who have seized it.To master anything, one must first master themselves-one's emotions, one's thoughts, one's actions. Eisenhower famously said that freedom is really the opportunity to practice self-discipline. Cicero called the virtue of temperance the polish of life. Without boundaries and restraint, we risk not only failing to meet our full potential and jeopardizing what we have achieved, but we ensure misery and shame. In a world of temptation and excess, this ancient idea is more urgent than ever.In Discipline is Destiny, Holiday draws on the stories of historical figures we can emulate as pillars of self-discipline, including Lou Gehrig, Queen Elizabeth II, boxer Floyd Patterson, Marcus Aurelius and writer Toni Morrison, as well as the cautionary tales of Napoleon, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Babe Ruth. Through these engaging examples, Holiday teaches readers the power of self-discipline and balance, and cautions against the perils of extravagance and hedonism. At the heart of Stoicism are four simple virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. Everything else, the Stoics believed, flows from them. Discipline is Destiny will guide readers down the path to self-mastery, upon which all the other virtues depend. Discipline is predictive. You cannot succeed without it. And if you lose it, you cannot help but bring yourself failure and unhappiness.
