RIGHT THING RIGHT NOW - RYAN HOLIDAY GEBUNDEN

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER  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.
