Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Your mind is your greatest asset and guiding force in acquiring discipline. We show you how to acquire discipline for yourself on your own terms. The amount of discipline you possess determines the level of sucess in your life. As a result, you will learn how to make the best of every minute - everyday.
Discipline embodies many positive attributes that help you eliminate those negative obstacles that you struggle with on a daily basis. Self-help books that target specific areas, i.e., weight loss, achieving success, confidence-building, etc., are totally ineffective if you lack discipline. That deficiency has kept you from applying those previous readings to your life.
Charts for your Current, Recommended and PRIME (Personally Regulated Improvement Model to Excel) routines are included. Suggestions are given on everything from daily exercise routines, eating healthy and sleep experimentation. How you manage these areas determines the quality of your life.
Discipline is the most critical tool that we all need to consistently strive to be better - and it can be learned. This knowledge is not only important for you, but also for your children, society and generations to come. Our goal is to make discipline a household word again - one mind at a time.

After reading through this book, it seems that the essential quality for being a highly disciplined person is a willingness to always make productive use of time. For me, this is the main idea in the book. To forge a new relationship with time.
The book is not well written in terms of sentence structure and grammar, and is loaded with typos such as "you're happiness" etc. Such errors often got in the way of my ability to appreciate the material. The whole book reads like a very first draft that was thrown together in a few weeks. With these qualifiers, I'd still say that I enjoyed reading this book. It's a raw, loosely edited outpouring of enthusiasm for a life lived with motivation and discipline. If you don't get caught up in the poorly written aspects, it's possible to get swept up in this enthusiasm.

This is the very first book that I have ever returned to Amazon, because of the content not meeting my expectations. It wasn't helpful and offered unrealistic solutions

I am absolutely SHOCKED at how many positive reviews this book has received! It just goes to show you that Amazon cannot be fully trusted. These reviews are FAKE! I've bought the book, started reading it, but it was so bad that I just couldn't finish it.
A little about some of the books I've read on this subject, "Kiss Guide To Organizing Your Life", "The Now Habit", "Getting Things Done" by Allen, "Attitude Is Everything", "Total Self Discipline In Ten Days", "Time Management For Dummies", and another time management book that I can't remember the title to.
Of all of these books that I've read, this one is the absolute WORST! The best one's were "KISS Guide To Organizing Your LIfe", "The Now Habit" and "Getting Things Done". In that order.
Another book that was bad, but not as bad as this one, was "Total Self Discipline In Ten Days". I read it and really tried what it said and it just didn't work. "Attitude Is Everything" was also one of those books that was so nonsensical and full of self help fluff (the universe loves you ...) type nonsense that I couldn't finish that one as well.

Do not buy this book. It is written poorly and is loaded with useless anecdotes and virtually no information on how to practically apply what they preach. It reads like a cheap magazine article. The author "Harris" is very full of himself and his co-author has been duped into believing he is some kind of mentoring god. From what I gather, Harris is a pusher. He basically tells you to work more, sleep less, and read while you go to the bathroom. What silly, adolescent advice. Harris is your typical A type personality that is clueless about what focusing on a task and focusing on details is all about. The authors multi-task, do-it all, don't ever rest mentality is freightening. By his own admission he is never satisfied, and you shouldn't be either. Always chasing the horizon, but will never get there. Meanwhile he probably doesn't realize the things he's missing or the people he's run over in his pursiut of his self-absorbed desire to always get more. People can't and shouldn't live like this. The fact that he's divorced and has a child that he sees only a few times a month (apparantly because he's more absorbed in himself and his half a million mile travels that he takes each month)speaks volumes about the quality of his personal life.
Save your money. Do not buy this book. I am so sorry that I was duped into wasting money on it.

I like authors' direct approach to show how important discipline is. The content of this book make a lot of sense to me. This book helped me to have more control over busy life.
