'A life-changing idea: that in order to move forward we must learn to be still.' - Sophia
Amoruso cofounder and CEO Girlboss Throughout history there has been one quality that
great leaders makers artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as
inner peace the Stoics called it a taraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to
be steady focused and calm in a constantly busy world. Drawing on a wide range of history's
greatest thinkers Holiday shows us how crucial stillness is and how it can be cultivated in
our own lives today. Just as Winston Churchill Oprah Winfrey and baseball player Sadaharu Oh
have done we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether
building a business or simply finding happiness peace and self-direction. Stillness is the
key to the self-mastery discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive noisy
world.
