Summary

In "Self-Control, Its Kingship and Majesty," William George Jordan delineates the profound significance of self-discipline as a foundational pillar of personal and societal success. Written in an engaging and accessible prose style, the book navigates the complex interplay between emotion and rationality, advocating self-control not merely as a tool of restraint but as a form of empowerment. Jordan weaves together psychological insights, anecdotal evidence, and philosophical reflections, positioning self-control within the broader literary context of self-improvement literature emerging in the early 20th century, when industrialization and rapid societal changes prompted individuals to seek personal mastery amidst chaos. William George Jordan, a prominent American essayist and editor of the early 1900s, was deeply influenced by the philosophical ideals of the time, particularly those concerning individual agency and morality. His experiences as a motivational speaker and writer provided him with a unique perspective on the challenges individuals face in achieving self-mastery. With a keen understanding of human nature, Jordan sought to empower his readers to cultivate self-control as a means to unlock their fullest potential and navigate the complexities of modern life. This compelling work is highly recommended for anyone seeking practical wisdom and inspiration in the pursuit of personal growth. Jordan's insights into the nature of self-control resonate powerfully in today's context, where distractions abound and emotional resilience is invaluable. "Self-Control, Its Kingship and Majesty" is not only a guide to self-discipline but a timeless reminder of the majesty inherent in mastering oneself.

    For too many of us, life is harder than it needs to be. We have forgotten the ancient system of “super habits” — a specific set of habits for making decisions, managing our emotions, and dealing with other people that fosters lives of greater ease, happiness, and power. 
Ancient civilizations relied on these habits to produce some of the greatest achievements in human history. Now, contemporary researchers in psychology, education, and management are rediscovering these habits and empirically demonstrating the power and goodness that they bring to everyday life. 
As many self-help gurus will tell you, we are the summation of our daily habits. What has so far been missing is a comprehensive guide to which habits are most valuable to us and how they work together as a system, for the best impact on our lives. 
This invaluable book by Dr. Andrew Abela shows how attaining virtue requires not a herculean effort but, rather, steady daily practice, which is accessible to all. He explains how the genius of a thirteenth-century philosopher-monk codified the super habits into a veritable human operating system, one that’s more relevant today than ever. 
Abela highlights:How super habits make life easier — because once something becomes a habit, it takes less effortWhy super habits lead to lasting joy rather than just temporary gratificationThe effects of super habits on physical, mental, and emotional health 
In a culture that prioritizes short-term fixes over long-term solutions, Super Habits offers a foundational, back-to-basics plan that produces both immediate and enduring results. 
Whatever issue you are struggling with right now, whatever challenge you may be facing, there is a super habit to help you overcome it. 
Dr. Abela equips readers with the tools needed to embrace the lifelong pursuit of self-improvement to attain a life of greater ease, joy, and strength.
