It's not uncommon to find someone who has physical command of themselves, Discipline of their Body. Nor is there a shortage of brilliant people who have brought their Mind under control.

What is extraordinarily rare is someone who not only combines these two disciplines, but also manages to do so 'in the arena' - in public life, as a contributor to society.

With stories from the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, Martin Luther King Jr, and Angela Merkel, this episode (based on Ryan Holiday's book Discipline Is Destiny) shows us what's possible.

Following on from the previous episode about discpline over our physical vessel, this episode is about discipline over our temperament.

Based on Ryan Holiday's book Discipline Is Destiny, we'll hear stories from the likes of Beethoven and Tom Brady to learn how we can improve our own attitudes.

When we're talking about discipline, the first and most obvious place to start is discipline over ourselves, over our exterior: discipline of the body.

In this episode, based on Ryan Holiday's book Discipline Is Destiny, we'll hear stories from basballer Lou Gehrig, inventor Thomas Edison, basketball coach John Wooden, and author Joyce Carol Oates, to learn some lessons that we can apply to our own lives.
