Self-Discipline Is Easy, Actually

Dan Koe
About this episode

In this video Dan discusses why discipline comes from clarity, not force, and if you have to force yourself to do hard things you will lose. Discipline is a feature of identity and if you can reprogram your mind, what used to be hard becomes easy.
