joshuamt 's review for:
I use self-help books like a mild drug. They give me an expected pick-me-up and help fight the symptoms of a mind searching for fulfillment in life.
The author of The Obstacle is the Way, at the start of the book, explains what he will do: take concepts from Stoicism; condense and paraphrase them; apply them to stories of historical figures.
Like a good drug, this book was easy to swallow, gave me the expected lift, and provided a few amusing anecdotes from historical figures ranging from Abraham Lincoln to John D Rockefeller. Nothing new in these pages, but not a bad read either.
