Discipline Is the Only Freedom You’ll Ever Get — Why the Undisciplined Life Is a Cage

from The Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle

The culture sells freedom as the absence of limits. Jonathan Doyle argues the reverse — that the person who can’t govern their appetites isn’t free at all, but at the mercy of every impulse, mood and craving. Weaving Sigmund Freud, the old idea of libido dominandi, and his own weighed-to-the-gram discipline, he makes the countercultural case that discipline isn’t a cage to escape but the very thing that sets you free.“You can be ruled by your appetites, or you can be ruled by your disciplines.”—Subscribe to The Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle for a new episode every day.
