Rating:  Summary: Good Start and Think About Your Goals, Life & Priority Review: A book simple and easy to read. It stimulates you to think about your life, your goals and your priority. Regardless whether it is practical or not, or whether you can follow it or not, why don't we take this chance to re-organize yourself based on the goals?Everyone has his / her successful story. This book serves as a reference for myself to rebuild my life, stop to complaining how busy I am. I would like to follow the steps as mentioned in the book, but of course not aggressive as Harris.
Rating:  Summary: A reference book for you to unleashing your potential. Review: After finished the reading, I realized that discipline is not only for navy/army or children. It is also for one who wants to be success in his work and/or personal life. The successful stories from Harris¡¦s show the concepts of the six steps to unleashing the potential and how to applied them in daily life as Harris. If Harris can do it, why we can't.
Rating:  Summary: Conquered a Triathalon using discipline Review: Great Book - This book has been effective for me both personally as well as professionally.
Last week, I was running the Long Beach Triathalon. The swim and bike went well, but the run at the end was another story - I struggled until my mind went back to the concepts of this book. I started chanting in my mind "Discipline Discpline DISCIPLINE". Before I knew it, I was crossing the finish line with a great time and my attitiude where it needed to be.
Rating:  Summary: Just Do it Review: Harris has given us the tools to succeed; in whatever course we take. Self-discipline is hard but it beats having someone else do it for us.
In this book, Harris uses his own experiences as well as others to show us the way and the benefits of self-motivation & setting goals. Being disciplined may mean different things to different people. This book simplifies how anybody can improve his or her life by improving how they schedule their time and daily routine. Set goals and just do whatever it takes to achieve them. He also lists his favorite sayings, I have one that I think he would like, "Lead, Follow or get the ____ out of the way". Harris is the leader on this subject & I am happy to follow.
Rating:  Summary: Good book, even better contents Review: Harris's no holds barred book on discipline certainly isn't for everyone. However, for those who desire success and believe in hardwork and the rewards that come along with it, this book sends a wake up call for one's direction in life. In sharing his personal experiences which many of us can relate to, Harris writes in his book why we need to constantly maintain focus in all aspects of our lives. In the simple 6 steps which he has listed, it's easy for anyone to subscribe to these concepts and apply to our daily lives. More importantly, unlike many books, he preaches for one to share your own successful stories with others so that they too can reap the rewards of their hardwork. This book probably isn't for keeps, its for you to pass it on to those who need that little nudge in your life to the right path for success. For it's anyone's guess that it might make the difference in their lives.
Rating:  Summary: Discipline:Six Steps to Unleashing your Hidden Potential Review: I just love Harris' book and could not put it down. I wish I could meet the genius behind this book. It is packed with so much useful information. I've read it twice and already see an improvement in my attitude and outlook on life. Harris said it all when he wrote that it's not about material things, but rather professional accomplishments. To me, that's where it's at. From business to personal relationships, this book is like an owner's manual on life. Thank you Harris for sharing your wisdom with the world.
Rating:  Summary: If there is a will, there is a way Review: I thoroghly enjoyed reading this book because I felt I could relate to so much of the content. The determination and focus that is needed in accomplishing whatever one decides to delve into is really emphasized in this reading. Harris is a great inspiration to people especially ones that lack self confidence and need to be motivated.
I really got a lot out of some of the personal goals that Harris set forth in his quest to being the person that he ultimately is today: a relentless, driving, non-stop and willing to do whataever it takes kind of person. The explanation of how he worked up to a great success with his car accomplshments describes such determination.
Sharing the positive energy with others is so satisfying and I really can relate to that. I really pride myself on the people I choose to spend my life with and I offer whatever I can to better their situation and in relation to mine as well. Harris describes this type of behavior with people he was employed with and to give them more self confidence and self esteem. It is truely a wonderful thing when you can see the results.
The book is a great book to read and certainly can open up ones eyes to many things around them. I highly recommend this for everyone.
Good work Harris!

Rating:  Summary: Kern unleashes the ultimate dragon of self-motivation. Review: In his book Discipline: Six Steps to Unleashing Your Hidden Potential, author Harris Kern addresses the importance of goal setting and the most important principle for accomplishing those goals and achieving ultimate success: discipline. The text is straightforward and easy to absorb, it flows almost effortlessly through the open-minded reader (it took me a mere 5 hours to read it twice). More importantly perhaps than his writing style, Kern takes on the role of a demanding mentor - one who takes your success seriously and wants you to stop at nothing to reach it. The stories and examples from his personal quest for discipline are a true inspiration (although you're sometimes left thinking "This can't be healthy..."), and create a model for drive and relentlessness in pursuit of success that's easy to recall long after you put the book away. It has helped me, for one, to fight complacency that much harder at times when desperation and failure are just around the corner. In essence, his message creates a "broken record" of self-motivation that never fails to skip right back to the part that says "Get up off the floor and act... right now!"
To the person who is willing to undergo a change for the better, that broken record is all that's needed to create the motion which will ultimately propel him/her towards unleashing their hidden potential.
If you've ever in your life set a goal, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
Rating:  Summary: Latte, mocha , chai...blah. Try a Discipline shot in the a.m Review: Never get enough accomplished in a day? Too hard to gain focus in your life? Then, try a daily dose of Harris Kern's "Discipline...Six Steps to Unleashing Your Hidden Potential." It will get you on the self motivation train faster than your morning venti latte.
Rating:  Summary: Challenging Review: The book is very challenging. It is almost unimaginable that I could be that disciplined. But, saying that, even a little more discipline in my life is a good thing.
