| Why it’s on the list | A former Navy SEAL commander’s field manual on self-discipline, written as short imperative chapters — waking before dawn, training, diet, acting when you do not want to. The title is the thesis: freedom of action is a product of constraints you impose on yourself. |
Where I heard about it
- @tylercosgrove — on his list of 25 books he offered to send to Jared Kushner (October 2025). The rest of the list is history and industrial policy, which makes this the one entry about the operator rather than the system.
Connections
- Discipline Is Destiny — the same subject from the Stoic side; worth reading against this one.
- Leadership — where the habit argument connects to running anything.
