How to Turn Anything to Your Advantage — The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday
About The Obstacle is the Way
Full of common sense wisdom, The Obstacle is the Way contains nothing you’ve never heard before about persisting despite the odds, learning from failure, and taking steady steps toward success.
But don’t let the ubiquity of the advice fool you — we all need reminders of such common truths regularly, and Holiday’s book provides that, in a well-written easily-readable format.
Ryan Holiday’s special angle is his attribution of his ideas to stoic philosophy and ability to gather a plethora of interesting anecdotes from ancient and modern history to illustrate his points.
The bite-sized chapters are also a plus, as Holiday lays out his points in easily digestible chunks that anyone can easily read in one go, or one step at a time.
If you’re in need of a reminder of some basic laws of life, a pick-me-up to inspire you when you’re feeling discouraged after working hard with no results, this might be the book for you.
