Boredom and fear are two obstacles.The author has divided the matter into five chapters and explains why it is so easy to give up , in the second chapter.In his opinion, The three obstacles of self discipline are: parental spoiling, perfectionism and feelings of inferiority. Who is to decide we are inferior to some others?What is criteria to determine whether a man is inferior to any other? There may be inferior traits.But those people may have some othe traits which may put them ahead of others.In chapter four, he deals with the techniques of self discipline. We have to take risks. Then only we will be rewarded well. Dr. Hauck quotes the examples of many people and then advises to eliminate the fear of being phony.
