About this listen
Since bestselling author Ryan Holiday introduced Stoicism to the world with The Obstacle Is the Way in 2014, this simple but powerful philosophy for life has become a global phenomenon. From professional athletes and world leaders to entrepreneurs and creatives just starting out, this brilliant and engaging book has been an invaluable source of wisdom for anyone who wants to become more successful at what they do. Now, Holiday has updated and expanded this modern classic with a new introduction and new chapters featuring a diverse set of inspiring characters.
Unpacking lessons from the lives of historical icons, and reframing them for today's world, this book gives us an infinitely elastic formula for turning our toughest trials into triumphs. Success for the world's greatest men and women has often come in the shape of their biggest obstacles - Stoicism, and this invaluable book, shows this can be true for us all.

Excellent work giving us strength to overcome the issues we face and become stronger
A contemporary insight into the stoic world. I especially liked the examples from the stoics who lived 2000 or 100 years ago.

Turn the obstacle upside down
I really enjoyed listening to The Obstacle is the Way. It truly shows the depth of understanding life and its impact on human life. How obstacles can be utilised to create, achieve and grow. Focus on the things that you can change. From his examples show how accepting those things you can’t control can shift your mindset to be the best version of yourself that you can be.

easy to apply examples of use irl
Stoicism has transformed my life and I am so grateful for stumbling upon it a couple of years ago. the classics is must haves off course, but daily stoics yt, books and mail is a truly great way to be helped into this fantastic, pragmatic filosophy. the obstacle is the way is a great set of examples to train to see stoicism in real life, inspiring ways to find it and use it.
