The obstacle is the way
We give up too easily. With a simple change in attitude, what can be insurmountable obstacles turn into once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to the 'modern Machiavelli' bestseller and is now a media consultant to multi-billion dollar brands, turns to the philosophy of the stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path really opens one that is new and better.
If the competition threatens you, it's time not to be afraid, to show your courage. An impossible deadline becomes an opportunity to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan found out as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand generates controversy, it can also generate publicity.
The Stoic philosophy, that what's in the way, is the way, can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2.000 years ago, whose effectiveness has unfolded in battles and boardrooms ever since. From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his electoral races, to the design of the iPhone, the Stoic philosophy has helped its users become world leaders.
