HOLIDAY RYAN WISDOM TAKES WORK

Foster curiosity  discernment and life-changing wisdom : book 4 in the New York Times
-bestselling Stoic Virtues series    'Some authors give advice. Ryan Holiday distils wisdom'
CAL NEWPORT  bestselling author of Deep Work   Wisdom is central to a meaningful life. It gives
us perspective  reveals knowledge and guides our path. Without it  our best qualities become
our worst: courage turns to foolhardiness  self-discipline to cruelty  justice to empty
moralising. We all aspire to be wise - but wisdom is earned.   In this fourth and final
instalment of his bestselling Stoic Virtues series  Ryan Holiday uncovers tried and true
methods for cultivating wisdom. Drawing on lessons from heroes across history  including Marcus
Aurelius  Abraham Lincoln  Maya Angelou and Joan Didion  he shows how to keep an open mind in
times of division and disruption  to listen more than we talk  to think with nuance and
ruthlessly question our own beliefs. Through cautionary figures like Elon Musk  he shows how
dangerous intelligence can be without wisdom - and how we can all escape today's traps of
tribalism  certainty and self-righteousness.    Are you open to listening? Are you willing to
question? Are you here to learn? Wisdom is work. But it's worth it.    'Ryan Holiday is one of
his generation's finest thinkers' STEVEN PRESSFIELD  author of The War of Art
