Ryan Engineer: In my new book, I argue that our culture has reduced the appeal of those things a great deal. He says children challenge your discipline in a lot of ways but they can also make you an adult if you take responsibility for it seriously. Econ Talk will be back on Monday at 8 p.m. ET.
Author Ryan Holiday talks about his book, Discipline Is Destiny, with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Holiday discusses the mentor who taught him discipline, the self-control of Queen Elizabeth, the world-champion boxer who counseled the man who defeated him in the ring, and the forgotten Roman emperor who helped make Marcus Aurelius the man he would become.
