From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.

The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it's also potentially generating publicity. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. If the competition threatens you, it's time to be fearless, to display your courage. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focused and calm in a constantly busy world.We give up too easily. Throughout history, there's been one indelible quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better. Stillness is the Key : Its name? Ego, and it is the enemy - of ambition, of success and of resilience. The Obstacle is the Way: Every great philosopher has warned against it, in our most lasting stories and countless works of art, in all culture and all ages. It's made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame. It's evaporated great fortunes and run companies into the ground. It's wrecked the careers of promising young geniuses.
