The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials Into Triumph

One of the best books I have read, changed my life for the best. Thank you Ryan. I now buy this book as a birthday present or any other tenuous reason for friends to spread the word

Fantastic book and a great introduction to Stoicism.

For those who wish to take control of their lives, not for those who are victim to life and events. Great little book.

I really enjoyed reading listening to this book.It's uplifting, positive and gives you energy and enthusiasm listening to it.The book is based on philosophy of Stoicism and focuses on their philosophies and principles through stories and examples.Stoicism is relevant to peopleIt's focusing on things you can control in life, which is yourself.Don't worry about things which might happen and focus on things which are happening. To help prepare for the future, imagine the worst thing which can happen, create a plan for that. If the worst thing you imagine happens you were expecting it, if anything else happens it should be easier.This is a great introduction to Stoicism and the writing of Ryan Holiday.Definitely worth your time to listen or read this.

Through adversity comes strength. Saved you hours of a monotonous drone.

About 2/3 of the way through the book right now, and I am really enjoying the principles explained so simply and the fact that it is intertwined with anecdotes from the past to fuel inspiration. The book is direct and pragmatic, and useful for anyone that seeks to be a better problem solver.

Good book well worth reading , but for it to be really worth the outlay you must follow the advice contained , not just read it and file it away.

Great overview of stoicism. The stories throughout the book are fantastic and so engaging. Highly recommend to anyone who knows they have the ability to control their own emotions and ultimately there life. I also recommend reading this before meditations, as it is very accessible.
