How to Turn Trials into Triumphs
This now-classic book by Ryan Holiday – a favorite read for millions of people worldwide – draws inspiration from Stoicism, the philosophical school of ancient Greeks that teaches us to endure pain and every setback with persistence and resilience, to focus on what we can control, and to see in every obstacle an opportunity to improve ourselves.
Holiday describes how some of the most successful people in History – from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart and from Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs – applied the principles of Stoicism to face adversities and shows how these principles ultimately helped them more than their intelligence, talents, or luck.
Feeling frustrated and discouraged? Stuck in the rut of everyday life? The Obstacle is the Way will inspire you with dozens of true stories of great people throughout history and reveal the secret to turning even the toughest challenges into your greatest triumphs.
As Marcus Aurelius wrote nearly 2000 years ago, "What stands in the way becomes the way."
