About this listen

Fortune favours the bold. All great leaders of history have known this, and were successful because of the risks they dared to take. But today, so many of us are paralysed by fear.

Drawing on ancient Stoic wisdom and examples across history and around the world, Ryan Holiday shows why courage is so important, and how to cultivate it in our own lives. Courage is not simply physical bravery but also doing the right thing and standing up for what you believe; it's creativity, generosity and perseverance. And it is the only way to live an extraordinary, fulfilled and effective life.

Everything in life begins with courage. This book will equip you with the bravery to begin.

Great book Really well designed thoroughly enjoyed it and found great value in it.

courage is something that is so important and not just in the big picture but most importantly in every single moment and every single opportunity.

now thanks to this book whenever there is an opportunity for courage and I can't be bothered or would prefer not to be there's a big nagging voice that encourages me to do the right thing where previously I would have just stayed quiet or not worried about it.

Loved it highly recommended

this is one of the greatest writing by Ryan Holiday. so far.
it is amazing to see how he has matured as an author and this is just a testament to his work as what I would call a stoic in his own right.

Don't miss this

Ryan wrote about his doubts if to include in the last chapter some of his personal successes and failures of acting with courage. It gave the entire book a clearer perspective and made it much more personable. I loved it, as I loved the entire book.

I always hugely enjoy the references to and anecdotes from historic events, stories make concepts stick.

This book is the first of a four part series, I look forward to the other three.

Another inspiring book by Ryan Holiday

This book is a great reminder for courage.
It’s written and read really well. I think I’ve read all of Ryan’s work now and I’ve always enjoyed the experience.

But it’s important to note, it is not amazing. It is good. And good is enough when there is so little on the topic.

Great reminder for courage

Courage is calling has helped me so much and has taught me many lessons for life

What can I say, this book is fantastic

So pleased to say that I enjoyed this book as much as his other stoic works. Obstacle, Ego, and Key are books that I keep returning to so there was a little bit of apprehension if this would live at the same level as them Having just finished it, in my opinion, it really does. So many authors don't quite make it in their next big attempt, and while I know Ryan has written a whole heap of other books as well as other medium I'm really pleased to say that I'm sure this new set of stoic virtues is going to be just as successful as the previous trilogy.

Up to the high standard Ive come to expect of Ryan
