THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY - RYAN HOLIDAY KARTONIE...

OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD    #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller    'Follow these precepts and
you will revolutionize your life.' Steven Pressfield  author of The War of Art   'A book for
the bedside of every future - and current - leader in the world.' - Robert Greene  author of
The 48 Laws of Power    The Obstacle is the Way has become a cult classic  beloved by men and
women around the world who apply its wisdom to become more successful at whatever they do.  
The book's many fans include a former governor and movie star (Arnold Schwarzenegger)  a hip
hop icon (LL Cool J)  an Irish tennis pro (James McGee)  the World Number 1 golfer (Rory
McIlroy) and the coaches and players of winning teams like English Rugby National Team  the New
England Patriots  Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Cubs.  The book draws its inspiration from
stoicism  the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and
resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control  let go of everything else  and turn
every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better  stronger  tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put
it nearly 2000 years ago: 'The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way
becomes the way.'  Ryan Holiday shows us how some of the most successful people in history-from
John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs-have applied stoicism
to overcome difficult or even impossible situations. Their embrace of these principles
ultimately mattered more than their natural intelligence  talents  or luck.  If you're feeling
frustrated  demoralized  or stuck in a rut  this book can help you turn your problems into your
biggest advantages. And along the way it will inspire you with dozens of true stories of the
greats from every age and era.
