Turn Obstacles into Opportunities: Book Insights on The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday

* A formula for success which has been used for centuries, by emperors, military commanders, athletes, presidents and entrepreneurs, the quiet grace and forbearance espoused by the ancient Stoics may seem at odds with today’s brash, dog-eat-dog world. 

* Ryan Holiday draws on the ancient philosophy of Stoicism, which was founded in Greece in the early 3rd century, to show how this approach can be applied effectively to twenty-first-century life. 

* Mastering the three critical elements of perception, action, and will opens up an eminently pragmatic way to confront any obstacles, and gain power, peace of mind and success.
