Jocko Willink served in the Navy for 20 years, going from enlisted SEAL to a SEAL officer and his unit became the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the Iraqi conflict. Willink received both the Silver Star and the Bronze Star. After retirement from the Navy, he became a leadership consultant where he teaches principles of leadership and discipline. He has also co-authored several bestselling books. Willink's philosophy is "Discipline Equals Freedom," one of the themes of his popular Jocko Podcast. His approach is simple: “If you want to be tougher mentally, it is simple: Be tougher. Don’t meditate on it.” I concur. I wrote a bit more on the concept in my latest ebook called Mental Toughness – Mastering Resilience for Success. You can currently get this ebook for less than four bucks. If you read it, you won't automatically become a SEAL or a decorated warrior, but we do provide a framework and some strategies to build your own mental toughness. And it's a small investment. Like I said, currently less than four bucks: As always, Brian |
