About this listen
"The Obstacle Is the Way" offers timeless wisdom on how to turn adversity into advantage. By adopting the principles of Stoicism, we can change our perception of obstacles, take decisive action, maintain willpower, focus on what we can control, embrace failure, persist, cultivate humility, and maintain a positive attitude.
Ryan Holiday presents a modern take on the wisdom of Stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus to provide a roadmap for turning obstacles into opportunities.
My favorite quote from the book is: "Remember that this moment is not your life, it's just a moment in your life. Focus on what is in front of you, right now. Ignore what it "represents" or it "means" or "why it happened to you." There is plenty else going on right here to care about any of that."
This episode provides top 8 takeaways from "The Obstacle Is The Way" each illustrated with examples.
