The #1 Bestselling Summary of "The Obstacle Is the Way" by Ryan Holiday. Learn how to apply the main ideas and principles from the original book in a quick, easy read!
There are countless books and lessons on achieving success, but very few of them teach us how to overcome failure or how to deal with obstacles when we are stuck. Yet that's the type of knowledge that most of us would primarily need, because as soon as we face a hardship or barrier, our nervous system gets into overdrive and we become hopeless, discouraged, reactive, and torn. As soon as we encounter unwanted situations, we have no idea what to do.
Well, this book is different. Originally published in 2014, The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday is surely one of the greatest self-help & motivational books written in our time period. It is a book of ruthless pragmatism which will change your perspective on life and teach you how to turn any kind of obstacle into an advantage.
This book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain and adversity with persistence and resilience. The stoics focus exclusively on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and frame every obstacle they face as an opportunity to get stronger, tougher, better.
And by applying the knowledge found in here, you will be able to do the same. You'll be able to overcome any kind of obstacle on your path to success. You will be cool under pressure, immune to insults and abuse. You will benefit from misfortune. You will see opportunity in tragedy. You will be able to act with persistence and energy. You will assume responsibility for yourself -- teaching yourself, improving yourself, and pursuing your rightful calling and place in the world.
This summary highlights the key ideas and captures the most important lessons found in the original book. If you've already read the original, this summary will serve as a reminder of main ideas and key concepts. If you haven't, don't worry, here you will find every bit of practical information that you can apply. However, we do encourage you to purchase the original as well for a more comprehensive understanding of the subject.

WHAT A GREAT READ!
I purchased the Summary by mistake; that is what I actually read. You can easily read it in an hour or less but the lessons could and should last you a lifetime!
It would be impossible to write a review of the book/summary as every page contains words, phrases, quotes, entire paragraphs, and entire chapters worthy of highlighting and mentioning. Suffice it to say that if you want a better and more successful life, and who doesn't, this book will help you to achieve it. Some who may read the book will say “they knew all this before,” but did they? Over one’s lifetime you acquire knowledge a lot of which is contained in this book but that takes years to learn when you can read it in a short period of time. If you apply the lessons of this book, you will learn to put obstacles in their proper place and work through them or around them to reach your desired result. It is a wonderful “how to” book to help you to succeed.
I spent more than 33 years in the real estate business and can only imagine what my career would have looked like had I had material like this book to guide me along the way. Sadly books like Holiday’s book are readily available and it has been said that fewer than 5% of people in sales ever read a book, not even one book on sales. Holiday’s book provides a path that is easy to follow that would empower the reader to change little things in the way he or she approaches life and life’s obstacles (problems). A quote from the book explains it all:
“Choose not to be harmed – and you won’t feel harmed.
Don’t feel harmed – and you haven’t been.”
Marcus Aurelius
The real test lies in these questions that I ask myself whenever I finish reading a book:
Will I read it again? ABSOLUTELY!
Will I give it as a gift? ABSOLUTELY and in fact I am already looking into ordering quite a few copies for this coming Christmas
Who should read it? EVERYONE, bar none! But especially if you are self-employed, an independent contractor or involved in sales in any form. What I wouldn't have given to have this book in my hands the DAY BEFORE I started my real estate career more than 40 years ago.

This is a book of Stoic philosophy. It was an okay read with good emotional advice, but prefer the inner work of the Holy Spirit to human philosophy guided self-effort.
