Written by bestselling personal development author Martin Meadows and illustrated by skilled artist Tamara Antonijevic, An Illustrated Guide to Self-Discipline is an entertaining short read covering 50 key habits to build more self-discipline, achieve more success, and become more satisfied with your life. Some of the habits described in the book include:

- a powerful habit advocated by an American admiral (it will carry over to your entire life),
- a valuable habit to keep your motivation levels high (learn how to be consistently inspired),

Review
"I've read several of Martin's books and this is probably one of my favorites. I love how sweet and simple it is, yet offers advice that, if taken, could really change the trajectory of someone's day-to-day. The images are cute and add to the overall pleasure of reading the book. It reminds me a bit of Michael Pollan's Food Rules in its simplicity with much better graphics. Would make an excellent gifting book." - T. Santos
"An Illustrated Guide To Self-Discipline is a book you will go to again and again. Discipline, especially self-discipline often makes us recoil at the thought of making our already challenging live yet more uncomfortable. It need not be so rigorous. Martin Meadows presents 50 seemingly simple habits, some as easy as making your bed in the morning to practicing mindfulness of your moods as incremental changes one can slip into the busiest schedule. " - Samuel Bailey
"50 books in one! I love that all points of healthy daily living are suggested in a fun, concise manner. As indicated, each suggestion has umpteen dozen books on the subjects but this condenses everything in an 'easy to read, easy to refer back to' format. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be referring back to it often." - Kelly Pinette
"This is a well written and illustrated book giving the reader the ability to build a system to set goals and create positive habits. I am a fan of Martin Meadows and like the no-nonsense writing style and references to other materials to support his points. The illustrations make the book fun and give it a positive energy." - Ron Desjardins
"The illustrations are uplifting, colourful and calming. I have returned to certain topics more than once and have put into practice many new ideas." - Beth Farrar
"If you know someone who is struggling in life, this book makes a great GIFT." - B. L. Robinson
From the Author
This isn't your typical self-help book.
It isn't meant to be read once and then thrown into a dark corner. Instead, it's designed to inspire you daily--to show you in an entertaining, vivid way how to cultivate self-discipline through powerful habits you can introduce in your life today.
You'll notice there's a cat or a dog in each illustration. Pets are cool, but it's not the reason why you'll see them on every page. They're there to symbolize everyday life.
The cat symbolizes the mundane or difficult. It symbolizes obstacles; people who laugh at your efforts, don't believe in you, or project their limiting beliefs on you. It also symbolizes prosaic day-to-day concerns. (Sorry cat lovers, a dog wouldn't fit this role.)
The dog symbolizes excitement, inspiration, and energy. It symbolizes when everything goes right, when you're in the flow, when you're motivated, when people share your vision and support you.
Our imperfect lives consist of interweaving cat and dog moments. Ups and downs. Triumphs and failures. Memorable moments and humdrum hustle. Amid it all, you need to demonstrate your commitment to self-discipline every day, as that's how you can change your life to attract more success and fulfillment.
