Good book on self-discipline
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.

Fantastic...10 Stars
Always wondered why I could not get past some failures and what was keeping me stuck. 1 lesson a day is keeping me disciplined and I have been writing my notes on a journal of how I can apply these principles to my everyday life. Great Book Martin. A great book to start my New Year. Hope to learn and change my life with your book. Cheers.

Mundane Stuff
Nothing remarkable, just common sense advice. The book is divided in small chapters of a page and a half, beginning with a quotation. Some quotes are impressive. For example this:Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety (out of fear and need for defense) and risk (for the sake of progress and growth): Make the growth choice a dozen times a day. —Abraham MaslowWhatever. The ideas remain mundane.

Excellent book - easy to read and very effective
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.

Exactly like "Tools of Titans" should have been!
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 ConsSome 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 RohnTherefore, 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.PROS1. 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 TogetherI 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.

Daily remainder to keep on it
I'm on Chapter 52, that means I read the book since 52 days. Every day one chapter to breakfast. They are short and to the point. It's my daily inspiration on my journey to better self-discipline.There are some very great citations from famous and not so famous people.The one I like the most till now is from H.A. Dorfman:"Self-discipline is a form of freedom. Freedom from laziness and lethargy, freedom from the expectations and demands of others, freedom from weakness and fear or doubt. Self-disciplin allows a man to feel his individuality, his inner strength, his talent. He is a master of, rather than a slave to, his thoughts and emotions."It doesn't change you from one day of another. It's more like a waterdrop. Every chapter, every day, will have it's own little impact that will sum up to something greater.
