An inspiring yet swift kick in the butt is the best way to describe this book.

I didn't enjoy this book, though I had to finish it for school. I think Holiday tries to be inspiring in many ways that fall flat. If you follow this book to a T, you will always chase ambition and never happiness. I have a hard time believing that living like that is truly a triumph.

This is a thought-provoking book that offers practical wisdom and valuable insights on how to approach and overcome challenges in life. Ryan Holiday's exploration of Stoic philosophy and his compelling storytelling make this book a worthwhile read for effectively dealing with obstacles and challenges. I like this stoic philosophy.

Here's the striking quotes from the book :
- "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."
- "What is up to us, what is not up to us."

I loved reading this book so much I had to buy myself a copy to read over and over again. Everytime I re-read The Obstacle Is The Way I hone in on a new interpretation for my life. It's a must have and a must read for anyone wishing to take stock of their life or to gain control of their life in a meaningful way.

A very good read. What makes it a good read?
Any book you can go to again and again for reference and guidance is a very good book.
