The Kingship of Self-Control is an inspiring and motivating manual
which instructs on the behavior best suited for attaining happiness
and a steady, fulfilling existence. Much as with William Jordan's
other books, this work advocates that the reader should train his
thought processes and senses to the point where they are masters of
their own destiny. The reader can spot the difference between this
book's practical advice and what is gained from formal education,
which instils only dry facts and mostly unusable knowledge in
students. The author, working in the high octane urban landscapes
of both his native New York City and Chicago, noticed certain
maladies of the human condition. Many people he met were worrisome
(which Jordan terms 'the American disease') and would needlessly
over-complicate or over-rationalize things in their heads. The
phenomena of regret, whereby people wish over and over to have
another chance of life, is another thing Jordan condemns as
self-defeating.
