RIGHT THING RIGHT NOW - RYAN HOLIDAY GEBUNDEN

"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"--
