"In his New York Times bestselling book, Discipline Is Destiny, Ryan Holiday made the Stoic case for a life of self-discipline. In this much-anticipated third installment in the Stoic Virtues series, he argues for the necessity of doing what's right - even when it isn't easy For the ancients, everything worth pursuing in life flowed from a strong sense of justice-or one's commitment to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult. In order to be courageous, wise, and self-disciplined, one must begin with justice. The influence of the modern world often tells us that acting justly is optional. Holiday argues that that's simply untrue-and the fact that so few people today have the strength to stand by their convictions explains much about why we're so unhappy. In Right Thing. Right Now., Holiday draws on fascinating stories of historical figures such as Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gandhi, and Frederick Douglass, whose examples of kindness, honesty, integrity, and loyalty we can emulate as pillars of upright living. Through the lives of these role models, readers learn the transformational power of living by a moral code and, through the cautionary tales of unjust leaders, the consequences of an ill-formed conscience. The Stoics never claimed that living justly was easy, only that it was necessary. And that the alternative-sacrificing our principles for something lesser-was considered only by cowards and fools. Right Thing. Right Now. is a powerful antidote to the moral failures of our modern age, and a manual for living virtuously"--

#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller The Obstacle is the Way has become a cult classic, beloved by men and women around the world who apply its wisdom to become more successful at whatever they do. Its many fans include a former governor and movie star (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a hip hop icon (LL Cool J), an Irish tennis pro (James McGee), an NBC sportscaster (Michele Tafoya), and the coaches and players of winning teams like the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Cubs, and University of Texas men's basketball team. The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." Ryan Holiday shows us how some of the most successful people in history-from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs-have applied stoicism to overcome difficult or even impossible situations. Their embrace of these principles ultimately mattered more than their natural intelligence, talents, or luck. If you're feeling frustrated, demoralized, or stuck in a rut, this book can help you turn your problems into your biggest advantages. And along the way it will inspire you with dozens of true stories of the greats from every age and era.

En su nuevo libro, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday se basa en la filosofâia estoica y budista atemporal para mostrar por quâe reducir la velocidad es el arma secreta para quienes se adelantan. Todos los grandes lâideres, pensadores, artistas, atletas y visionarios comparten una cualidad indeleble. Les permite conquistar su temperamento. Para evitar distracciones y descubrir grandes conocimientos. Para lograr la felicidad y hacer lo correcto. Ryan Holiday lo llama quietud: estar firme mientras el mundo gira a tu alrededor. En este libro, esboza un camino para lograr esta forma de vida antigua, pero urgentemente necesaria. Basâandose en una amplia gama de los mâas grandes pensadores de la historia, desde Confucio a Sâeneca, Marco Aurelio a Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill a Nietzsche, sostiene que la quietud no es mera inactividad, sino la puerta al autodominio, la disciplina y la concentraciâon. Holiday tambiâen examina figuras que ejemplificaron el poder de la quietud: el jugador de bâeisbol Sadaharu Oh, cuyo estudio del Zen lo convirtiâo en el mejor bateador de jonrones de todos los tiempos; Winston Churchill, quien, al equilibrar su ajetreada vida pâublica con el tiempo que pasâo colocando ladrillos y pintando en su propiedad de Chartwell, logrâo salvar al mundo de la aniquilaciâon en el proceso; Fred Rogers, quien enseänâo a generaciones de niänos a ver lo que era invisible a los ojos; Ana Frank, cuyo diario y amor por la naturaleza la guiaron a travâes de una adversidad inimaginable. Mâas que nunca, la gente estâa abrumada. Se enfrentan a obstâaculos, egos y competencia. Stillness Is the Key ofrece un antâidoto simple pero inspirador contra el estrâes de las noticias y las redes sociales las 24 horas del dâia, los 7 dâias de la semana. La quietud que todos buscamos es el camino hacia el significado, la satisfacciâon y la excelencia en un mundo que lo necesita mâas que nunca.
