"While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their images with sheer, almost irrational force, I've found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition." (From the prologue)

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.

Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

The inscription on the Oracle of Delphi says: 'Nothing in excess.' C.S. Lewis described temperance as going to the 'right length but no further.' Easy to say, hard to practice—and if it was tough in 300 BCE, or in the 1940s, it feels all but impossible today. Yet it's the most empowering and important virtue any of us can learn. Drawing on ancient Stoic wisdom and examples across history and around the world, Ryan Holiday shows why self-control is so vital, and how to cultivate it in our own lives.

If we do what is right, everything else will follow: happiness, success, meaning, reputation, love. This is central to Stoic wisdom. The path isn't always easy, but it is essential, and the alternative - taking the easy route - leads only to cowardice and folly. In the third book in his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday explores the crucial role that integrity plays in every good life. From pillars of upright living like Ulysses S. Grant and Marcus Aurelius, to the cautionary tales of Napoleon and F. Scott Fitzgerald, this book shows us the power of owning our convictions.

Para conquistar el mundo, uno debe conquistarse primero a sí mismo: las emociones, las acciones y los pensamientos. Eisenhower dijo que la libertad es la práctica de la autodisciplina. Cicerón definió la virtud de la templanza como el esplendor de la vida. Sin límites ni autocontrol, no solo nos arriesgamos a no alcanzar nuestro potencial y a perder lo que hemos logrado, sino que, además, nos aseguramos una vida de humillación y miseria.

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.

Neste livro, Ryan Holiday nos apresenta a virtude necessária para praticar com sucesso todas as demais. Ela recebe muitos nomes: temperança, autocontrole, disciplina. Mas a ideia por trás de todas essas denominações é uma só: governar em vez de ser governado. Definir seus limites.

Ele arruinou a carreira de gênios promissores. Mandou pelos ares grandes fortunas e destruiu empresas. Tornou as adversidades insuportáveis e transformou esforço em vergonha. Seu nome? Ego. O ego é um adversário interno citado por quase todos os grandes filósofos da história, em incontáveis obras de arte, de todas as culturas, de todos os tempos. E agora é hora de aprender a destruí-lo, antes que ele destrua você.

Viele Menschen glauben, dass die Gründe, die sie daran hindern erfolgreich zu sein, in ihrer Umwelt zu finden sind. Aber in Wirklichkeit steckt der größte Feind in jedem von uns selbst: unser Ego. Es macht uns blind für unsere Fehler, verhindert, dass wir aus ihnen lernen, und hemmt unsere Entwicklung. Denn die wahre Herausforderung liegt darin, weniger Zeit in das Erzählen der eigenen Größe zu stecken und stattdessen die wirklich wichtigen Missionen des Lebens zu meistern.

À travers les siècles, nombreux sont ceux qui ont recouru au stoïcisme pour surmonter leurs difficultés. Outre les Grecs et les Romains dans l'Antiquité, Frédéric le Grand, Michel de Montaigne, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Adam Smith et Théodore Roosevelt figuraient au rang des adeptes de cette école de pensée. Chaque année, l'ancien président américain Bill Clinton étudie les textes de l'empereur romain Marc Aurèle, philosophe stoïcien célèbre. De même, Wen Jiabao, ancien Premier ministre chinois, a lu ses "Pensées pour moi-même" "plus d'une centaine de fois".

Im Laufe der Geschichte hatten große Anführer, Denker, Künstler und Visionäre die Eigenschaft, Launen zu überwinden, Ablenkungen zu vermeiden und das Richtige zu tun. Die Zen-Buddhisten beschrieben es als inneren Frieden und wussten, dass es wichtig war, ob man ein Samurai-Krieger oder ein Mönch ist. Die Stoiker und Epikureer nannten es Ataraxie und glaubten, dass es ein Bollwerk gegen die Leidenschaften des Mobs, eine Voraussetzung für gute Führung und ein Weg zur tiefen Wahrheit sei. Ryan Holiday nennt es Stille - stabil sein, während sich die Welt um einen dreht.

"On ne sort pas d'un labyrinthe en courant en tout sens. Il faut s'arrêter et réfléchir. Il faut marcher lentement et prudemment, canaliser son énergie, sinon on se perd." Et si pour mieux réussir, il fallait savoir ralentir ? Dans nos sociétés contemporaines où la vitesse et l'immédiateté sont érigées en valeurs suprêmes, le texte de Ryan Holiday est une invitation à repenser notre rapport au temps et à éprouver le pouvoir de l'attente.

Există o infinitate de cărți despre cum să ajungi la succes, însă nici una nu ne învață cum să depășim un eșec, cum să privim obstacolele, cum să ne raportăm la ele și, mai ales, cum să le folosim să devenim mai buni DATORITĂ lor. Depășirea obstacolelor este o disciplină în trei pași învățată de la filozofii stoici, explicată aici de Ryan Holiday , om de marketing și antreprenor de succes, prin exemplul unor oameni celebri. De la Thomas Edison, Margaret Thatcher, Steve Jobs sau Barack Obama.

Em O obstáculo é o caminho, Holiday se inspira no estoicismo, a antiga filosofia grega de suportar a dor ou a adversidade com perseverança e resiliência, e mostra ao leitor que, no fim das contas, aquilo que o impede pode acabar o fortalecendo. Segundo o autor, os estoicos concentram-se nas coisas que podem controlar, abandonam todo o resto e transformam cada novo obstáculo em uma oportunidade de melhorar e se tornar mais forte e resistente.
