Here are 5 of my favorite Big Ideas from Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink. Hope you enjoy!

Jocko Willink is a retired Navy SEAL. He was commander of Task Unit Bruiser―the most decorated Special Operations Unit of the Iraq War. I really enjoyed Jocko's first book Extreme Ownership and I knew this one would be good but... I didn't expect it to be THIS good. The words literally explode off the page. Not just because each micro-chapter was an incredibly inspiring micro-manifesto but because each word was written by a man so clearly living in complete integrity with his deepest values. John Maxwell would say his "moral authority" is extraordinary. I'd say his SOUL FORCE is palpable. If you're in the mood for a soul-rattling call-to-disciplined action, I think you'll enjoy the book as much as I did.
