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

5.0

“See things for what they are.
Do what we can.
Endure and bear what we must.
What blocked the path is now the path.
What once impedes action advances action.
The obstacle is the way.”

This book. Wow. It’s like I’ve been shown a new way of thinking, like I’ve been sort of sleeping through life. I loved every second of this book. I never gave stoicism much thought- but reading this has completely changed my mindset. To live each day like it’s our last.
“Death doesn’t make life pointless, but rather purposeful.
Momento mori.
Amor fati.
C’est la vie.

What a way to live one’s life. I look forward to reading more by Ryan Holiday! Don’t hesitate. Read this book!!
