The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials Into Triumph by Ryan Holiday
4.0
This book is far better than most self-help or philosophy books for the following reasons:
1) it uses well-written examples and stories to convey meaning
2) it lacks the 1-2-3-4 step "quick fix" processes that dilute most self-help books
3) it is clear and easy to understand which distances itself from most confusingly written philosophical tomes
The book is a great entre to Stoicism and applicable to anyone who is (or expects to) face adversity in life and business.
You could easily read it in a single day, but I highly recommend following my approach of taking several weeks to read one chapter at a time (they are very short) while reflecting on the meaning.
