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

3.0

Like everything Ryan writes, the book is a pleasant to read. It's a good introduction to stoicism, very accessible and light. The book is full of anecdotes about historical figures but those are presented in a very uni-dimensional way. The book also has an aura of a self-help book, which for me is a turn-off, perhaps this is the very thing that makes it palatable for people who are just getting introduced to philosophy or that are too busy for a deep-dive into stoicism.
