The Power of Discipline - Thomist Toughness for the Modern Catholic

Drawing on Aristotle, Aquinas, and the Catholic virtue tradition and peppered with his own hard-won lessons from fitness, music, business, parenting, and academic life, Flynn makes a case that traditional discipline books cannot because of a flaw in their main premise. Discipline is not grim self-denial or a system for squeezing more out of your day. Rather, it is the art of self-mastery in service of the good: the stable, confident ability to do what you know is best, even when your emotions and impulses push back.

It’s what Flynn calls Thomistic Toughness. And this book will help you build it.
