Ryan Holiday is a strategist and writer. At just 30 years of age, he’s got six books to his name (yep, six!), including multiple bestsellers like The Obstacle Is the Way, The Daily Stoicand Ego Is the Enemy. He’s also got a slew of high profile fans ready to sing his praises — including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tim Ferriss, Steven Pressfield, as well as NFL coaches, world-class athletes, TV personalities, political leaders, and others around the world.

Ryan’s approach to achieving success draws on the ancient Greek philosophy of stoicism — a.k.a. the the art of getting through tough times using perseverance and resilience. With this mindset in place, Ryan says we can turn every obstacle into an opportunity to grow, improve and strengthen ourselves… It’s inspiring stuff, and so empowering.
