Good reinforcement.

It is a good book to listen to if you want to be reminded of what you should be doing. some stuff is a bit farfetched.. and you definitely should not follow the workout / diet advice too seriously .. good book for someone who is just starting their self development journey..

A codex for attaining manhood

Military training is a lost tradition in our world and this loss is costly for the male gender. As you will learn in the book, military training created strong men with great qualities that allowed them to endure the various challenges presented in one’s life. I recommend this book to everyone but most especially to young guys who wish to improve their sense of duty, responsibility and of course self discipline, in order to reach manhood.

Excellent reminder to reset your mindset

The author provides a good review of the qualities we need to develop and the actions we need to engage into to get out of mediocrity. Most of us know these qualities and actions but it is sometimes good to get a well structured reminder to trigger a significant change in our personal life.

Very good and concise

Great example using the warrior mentality. Some extreme points, but overall a very simple and effectively written book. Easy to understand, and inline with the warrior strategies discussed.

Excellent. To the point.

Very well written manual for self-discipline. Reverberates with the Stoic ideas that shaped Europe. Would highly recommend to a friend.
