Hello anons,

I realise that discipline is much like virtue, in that you have to train it by doing.

But I’ve never had a strong parental influence in my life. I never really learnt to set my own boundaries and follow a routine.

So, any good books that will teach me some fundamentals of discipline?

Same here. Not having a father while being a guy sucks. You just become lazy-meek-something and it takes a lot of effort to fight against it

>make it stick
>deep work
>atomic habits
>the mind illuminated

These all fall into the category of ‘self help’ but each of them provide interesting, tangible, useful, and practical advice and actions one can take to improve in the field of discipline.

What do you mean by training virtue? I thought one has virtues, such as honesty.

an easy way to think about it is the greek word 'arete' can be translated as both 'virtue' and 'excellence'. in other words, they thought of technical skill (like being excellent at shoe-making, or excellent at leadership) and admirable moral conduct as similar kinds of activity. this was the root of socrates' project. discovering what excellence in being a human consisted of.
