Jocko Podcast - Discipline and Leadership

If you haven't read "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" I'd definitely recommend that, it's basically how to be a leader the book.

>>41559421
Yes

>>41559455
It's definitely on my list. I have so many books I want to read but I spend so little time actually reading... Maybe that is something that I could work on as part of my disciplinary habits.

Some of the other books concerning these topics:
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Extreme Ownership (Jocko's book)
About Face
Once an Eagle

Here's a link to a list of books that Jocko has talked about on his podcast: http://jockopodcast2.com/jocko-podcast-books/

Here's a link to lists of required or recommended reading by the US Armed Forces:

The Navy's section on core attributes is of particular interest and relevance to this discussion.

These questions are directed at you, but anybody reading this is free to respond with their own experiences.

Good evening, Echo.

>>41559421
I haven't listened to it but I liked Extreme Ownership. Also, I prefer How to Talk to Anyone rather than the Carnegie

I just heard it on last week's joe rogan. Downloaded the first few of the Jocko cast, pretty interesting.

JRE and Jocko are getting me interested in ju jitsu

>>41559421
This is...

I had a stressful week and ended up complaining the whole time talking to my brother, he stopped me mid sentence and said I sound like a bitch complaining about shit right now and I should listen to Jocko's podcast, I gave it a listen and have been hooked ever since, his ideas about being a man and personal ownership really helped me.

His books are also awesome and something that should be in schools..

lol

I thought maybe he is socially awkward?

I've caught him a few times while watching the cams, he doesn't look very social..

>>41559958
What about that book did you prefer to Carnegie's book? I always hear HTWFAIP listed as one of the best self improvement books.

>>41560107
Awesome man! Glad to hear you've decided to work on improving yourself and "stop being a bitch" ;)

>>41559932
Sorry, friend, I'm not Echo. Just someone who is interested in improving himself :)

Look for a local gym. Assuming you're in or near a decent sized city there should be plenty. Good on you, man. If you pursue this interest I hope it's fulfilling and works out for you.

Jocko is a great source especially if he is your one of your first. If you've been on the Internet a while he's a bit one-dimensional relatively speaking and chances are you've heard the stuff he's talking about before.

I just opened up Amazon to check out his books, didn't even have to search. Extreme Ownership was the first in the list of recommended for me. Guess I'll be checking it out.

>>41560237
I actually disagree. While at times Echo can be annoying and sound a bit whiny, I feel like more often than not he is able to provoke Jocko into expanding on a view point or into looking at subjects from a different point of view. That is an important aspect to the show, otherwise we would just have Jocko being Jocko and saying everything he thinks without being challenged. Echo not being a seal helps with that too. If he had Laif or any of his other seal buddies on then it might start to just sound like an echo chamber with those two constantly agreeing an never expanding on issues they feel like they thoroughly covered, even if they didn't.

>>41560589
I'm not sure I follow. How do you mean one-dimensional? What other resources are there?

>>41559421
GOOD.

>>41559421

I guarantee his kids will grow up to hate him.

Good podcast though.

Just finished extreme ownership. Killed it in about 3 days. Chapters go 70% stories of ramadi and other battles then 30% business application. Aside from the 80s name drops of the book it's actually a solid read. Would recommend 10/10. Only just under 300 pages tho so get it used it's damn good but $25+ for a book that short is a little ehhhhh. I'd still pay full price for it though.

Moving on...
