The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials Into Triumph by Ryan Holiday

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

Overall this book was a page turner. It has plenty of great information on how to approach obstacles in life and gives you steps on how to overcome them as well. A true book of Stoicism and its advice on focusing on one's own Locust of Control. It could have been written a little more simpler, but in the end, it does not greatly change the effectiveness of the book. I placed many bookmarks throughout and plan on re-reading when I'll need assistance with figuring out a way of a sticky situation. I realize as a Philosophy major I have a bias towards more philosophical books, but the advice in here is genuine and will easily help people conquer varying problems in their lives. It's written simple enough, and the subject matter is incredibly practical as well.
