Discipline
Discipline has received favorable reviews from Jeffrey Satinover, noted psychiatrist and author of The Quantum Brain, and Dr. Nicholas Herbert, the author of Quantum Reality, Faster Than Light, and Elemental Mind.
Discipline also received favorable reviews from The Midwest Book Review, The Houston Press and Durango Herald.
In 2009, Discipline was set to become a motion picture by David Permut and Steve Jones. Ahlgren was reluctant to allow the book to become a film, suggesting that too much of the story's substance would be lost if it were condensed into a movie. As of 2011, nothing further has materialized on this front, and there is some skepticism as to whether the film will be made.

Famous quotes containing the word discipline:
“To try to control a nine-month-old’s clinginess by forcing him away is a mistake, because it counteracts a normal part of the child’s development. To think that the child is clinging to you because he is spoiled is nonsense. Clinginess is not a discipline issue, at least not in the sense of correcting a wrongdoing.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“Building a conscience is what discipline is all about. The goal is for a youngster to end up believing in decency, and acting—whether anyone is watching or not—in helpful and kind and generous, thoughtful ways.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
