Harder Than Life

165: The Dark Side of Discipline, When Hustle Destroys Your Life


Listen Later

What if the hardest-working person isn’t actually the most successful one?
In this unfiltered and mindset-shifting episode, we welcome Craig Ballantyne, bestselling author of The Perfect Day Formula, Unstoppable, and The Dark Side of Discipline. Often called “the most disciplined man alive,” Craig tears apart hustle myths, cold plunge fads, and the idea that discipline means doing more.
Spoiler: it’s about doing less, but better.
Effortless discipline is possible but only if you build the right systems.
In this episode, we cover:
🔥 Why discipline can destroy your dreams if you’re not careful
🔥 How to eliminate the “doom loop” that’s keeping you stuck
🔥 What magic time is and why it can triple your output
🔥 Why cold plunges and long morning routines might be hurting more than helping
🔥 How to stop mistaking information for transformation
🔥 The key difference between discipline, standards, and systems
🔥 Why working on your purpose actually feels like play
💬 What’s one system or standard you’re committed to upgrading TODAY? Drop it in the comments—your shift might inspire someone else.
