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:
“I used to be a discipline problem, which caused me embarrassment until I realized that being a discipline problem in a racist society is sometimes an honor.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Do you know what Agelisas said, when he was asked why the great city of Lacedomonie was not girded with walls? Because, pointing out the inhabitants and citizens of the city, so expert in military discipline and so strong and well armed: “Here,” he said, “are the walls of the city,” meaning that there is no wall but of bones, and that towns and cities can have no more secure nor stronger wall than the virtue of their citizens and inhabitants.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
