Really liking the 80-something percent that I actually managed to understand.

Wondering why I abandoned this book before — this is fascinating.

Tom is 34% done with Discipline Is Destiny: The Power of Self-Control
Ugh - at a third of the way in, this already feels like a American business book: introduce a simple idea, then bury it under endless anecdotes to prove a point that didn’t need proving. The effect isn’t persuasive but patronizing—it brings me back to sitting through a sermon that keeps circling the same obvious point. No depth, just fillers, sitting through this itself is an act of discipline.
