Ryan Holiday

«Ryan Holiday ha tra do las antiguas ense anzas del estoicismo a millones de lectores, desde atletas y pol ticos hasta directores ejecutivos . -Good Morning America Un inspirador tributo al poder y la promesa de la autodisciplina; este es el segundo libro de la serie «Las 4 virtudes estoicas -Ryan Holiday, autor superventas de The New York Times. Para conquistar el mundo, uno debe conquistarse primero a s mismo: las emociones, las acciones y los pensamientos. Eisenhower dijo que la libertad es la pr ctica de la autodisciplina. Cicer n defini la virtud de la templanza como el esplendor de la vida. Sin l mites ni autocontrol, no solo nos arriesgamos a no alcanzar nuestro potencial y a perder lo que hemos logrado, sino que, adem s, nos aseguramos una vida de humillaci n y miseria. En este nuevo libro, Ryan Holiday defiende la templanza como la virtud m s importante. A lo largo de la historia ha recibido distintos nombres --autocontrol, disciplina...-- pero todos hacen referencia a lo mismo: a gobernar en lugar de ser gobernado; a establecer tus propios l mites; a marcar tus propios h bitos. Todos los grandes de la historia han practicado esta forma de autodominio, desde la leyenda del b isbol Lou Gehrig, hasta la reina Isabel II, la escritora Joyce Carol Oates, el emperador Marco Aurelio y Martin Luther King Jr., ministro y l der del movimiento por los derechos civiles. En una poca de excesos y desorden, la autodisciplina es ahora m s necesaria que nunca. Te atreves a cavar hondo para encontrarla? Y, m s importante, la usar s? Solo con autodisciplina podr s dirigir tu vida rumbo a la verdadera realizaci n. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In his New York Times bestselling book Courage is Calling, author Ryan Holiday made the Stoic case for a bold and brave life. In this much-anticipated second book of his Stoic Virtue series, Holiday celebrates the awesome power of self-discipline and those who have seized it. To master anything, one must first master themselves-one's emotions, one's thoughts, one's actions. Eisenhower famously said that freedom is really the opportunity to practice self-discipline. Cicero called the virtue of temperance the polish of life. Without boundaries and restraint, we risk not only failing to meet our full potential and jeopardizing what we have achieved, but we ensure misery and shame. In a world of temptation and excess, this ancient idea is more urgent than ever. In Discipline is Destiny, Holiday draws on the stories of historical figures we can emulate as pillars of self-discipline, including Lou Gehrig, Queen Elizabeth II, boxer Floyd Patterson, Marcus Aurelius and writer Toni Morrison, as well as the cautionary tales of Napoleon, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Babe Ruth. Through these engaging examples, Holiday teaches readers the power of self-discipline and balance, and cautions against the perils of extravagance and hedonism. At the heart of Stoicism are four simple virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. Everything else, the Stoics believed, flows from them. Discipline is Destiny will guide readers down the path to self-mastery, upon which all the other virtues depend. Discipline is predictive. You cannot succeed without it. And if you lose it, you cannot help but bring yourself failure and unhappiness.

Je te, scho mi mozhemo zminiti, i te, scho ni. Khoch bi jak silno mi svarilisja z predstavnikom aviakompaniji, jaka skasuvala rejs cherez pogodni umovi, tse ne zupinit shtorm. Khoch bi jak vi nervuvalisja v zatori, vi ne pojidete shvidshe. Vi ne primusite tekhniku ne lamatisja v najnevdalishij moment, ne stanete nizhchim abo vischim, ne naroditesja v inshij krajini. Ale nervujuchis cherez te, scho ne zminiti, mi vitrachajemo sili, resursi j chas, jaki mogli bi sprjamuvati na te, na scho spravdi mozhemo vplinuti. Tsja knizhka primusit po-inshomu pogljanuti na realnist, jaka vas otochuje, a takozh navchit pidkhoditi do vladnannja bud-jakikh problem iz samovladannjam ta mudristju. Perekladach Antonina Jaschuk

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'In story after page-turning story, Lives of the Stoics brings ancient philosophers to life.' - David Epstein, bestselling author of Range 'Wonderful' - Chris Bosh, two-time NBA Champion For millennia, Stoicism has been the ancient philosophy that attracts those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. And no wonder: its embrace of self-mastery, virtue and indifference to that which we cannot control has much to offer those grappling with today's chaotic world. But who were the Stoics? In this book, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman offer a fresh approach to understanding Stoicism through the lives of the people who practiced it - from Cicero to Zeno, Cato to Seneca, Diogenes to Marcus Aurelius. Through short biographies of all the famous, and lesser-known, Stoics, this book will show what it means to live stoically, and reveal the lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. The result is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in search of living a good life.

The first book in Stoicism guru Ryan Holiday's new series looking at the four key virtues of Stoicism.

"en befriande konkret och användbar populärfilosofisk självhjälpsbok" Jan Gradvall, DI Weekend "Den här boken om stoicismen har tagit NFL med storm." Sports Illustrated "En bok att ha på nattduksbordet för alla framtida och nuvarande ledare i världen." Robert Greene (författare till The 48 laws of power och The art of seduction) Den storsäljande filosofiboken som även gjort succé i sportvärlden. Ett klassiskt sätt att hantera motgångar och bakslag och komma ut på andra sidan som en vinnare. Med hjälp av stoicismen, och dess tänkare som Marcus Aurelius och Seneca, så presenterar författaren Ryan Holiday de klassiska sätten att förhålla sig till missöden och svårigheter och att vända dem till fördelar och till och med vinster. Hindret är vägen hjälper läsaren att byta mindset och är sprängfylld med historiska exempel och påminner en del om Alain de Bottons klassiska Filosofins tröst fast ännu mer handfast. Därför är det egentligen inte så konstigt att den redan har hunnit bli en kultklassiker internationellt. Bland kända fans tillhör bland andra Arnold Schwarzenegger och hip hop-ikonen LL Cool J. Men Ryan Holidays unika ton och framställning har också gjort Hindret är vägen till något av obligatorisk läsning i ett flertal stora lag som New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Cubs och University of Texas manliga basketlag. Ryan Holiday är tveklöst en av USA:s mest intressanta unga tänkare just nu och en oerhört populär föreläsare. Han har skrivit en lång rad böcker och nu presenteras han för en svensk publik genom den efterlängtade utgåvan av Hindret på vägen på svenska. Intervju med Ryan Holiday om hur stoicismen kan hjälpa oss genom pandemin:Vad kan vi få för hjälp av stoikerna under pandemin? Som stoikerna sa, ödet är nyckfullt. Det bryr sig inte mycket om våra planer och absolut inte om stabilitet. Vi människor har ofta behövt uppleva sånt här, vi som lever i den här tiden har bara varit bortskämda. Marcus Aurelius skrev Självbetraktelser under den Antoniska pesten. Seneca såg Rom brinna ned. Historien är tuff och vi lever just nu i en tuff historisk tid. Som jag skriver i boken är det bästa vi kan göra att tuffa till oss i stället för att bara försöka hoppas på att allt ska gå vår väg. Finns där något råd som du tycker är extra viktigt att ta till sig, för den vars affärsverksamhet går knakigt eller som förlorat sitt jobb? Ge dig själv en minut stoikerna skulle aldrig påstå att det inte gör ont och att du inte får känna någonting. Men de skulle vänta tills du återfår fattningen och säga, Okej, vad ska du göra nu? Kom ihåg att vi inte kan kontrollera vad som hänt. Det enda vi kan göra är att kontrollera hur vi reagerar. Vi kan välja att använda tiden på ett produktivt sätt, vi kan välja att lära oss något och vi kan välja att bli bättre på grund av det som inträffat. Vad har du fått för reaktioner på boken under pandemin? Det har varit ödmjukande att se hur boken nått en stor läsekrets under de senaste åren. Att skriva en bok om antik filosofi är inte direkt någon given succé och det var oklart om över huvud taget någon skulle vara intresserad. Men det visade sig att stoikerna visste vad de pratade om och att den visheten fungerar minst lika bra idag. Jag tror att det är därför boken blivit så populär hos allt från idrottare till statsmän. Hur har du använt stoicismen under isoleringen och nedstängningen i USA? För att citera Robert Greene lite fritt, så har jag försökt göra den här tiden till levande tid istället för dödtid. Givetvis skulle jag ha föredragit att vi i USA haft bättre ledare som tagit bättre beslut, men det är som det är. Jag vill få så mycket gjort som det går och tillbringa så mycket tid som möjligt med min familj. Jag försöker göra saker som får mig att känna mig levande, trots allt. Och när jag ser tillbaka på det senaste året så är jag stolt över att jag inte bara har suttit och väntat på att allt ska återgå till det normala. Jag gjorde vad jag kunde av det som nu blivit det nya normala och antagligen kommer att vara det en tid framöver.

The instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestseller Ryan Holiday's bestselling trilogy--The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego is the Enemy, and Stillness is the Key--captivated professional athletes, CEOs, politicians, and entrepreneurs and helped bring Stoicism to millions of readers. Now, in the first book of an exciting new series on the cardinal virtues of ancient philosophy, Holiday explores the most foundational virtue of all: Courage. Almost every religion, spiritual practice, philosophy and person grapples with fear. The most repeated phrase in the Bible is "Be not afraid." The ancient Greeks spoke of phobos, panic and terror. It is natural to feel fear, the Stoics believed, but it cannot rule you. Courage, then, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what's right, to do what's needed, to do what is true. And so it rests at the heart of the works of Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, and CS Lewis, alongside temperance, justice, and wisdom. In Courage Is Calling, Ryan Holiday breaks down the elements of fear, an expression of cowardice, the elements of courage, an expression of bravery, and lastly, the elements of heroism, an expression of valor. Through engaging stories about historic and contemporary leaders, including Charles De Gaulle, Florence Nightingale, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Holiday shows you how to conquer fear and practice courage in your daily life. You'll also delve deep into the moral dilemmas and courageous acts of lesser-known, but equally as important, figures from ancient and modern history, such as Helvidius Priscus, a Roman Senator who stood his ground against emperor Vespasian, even in the face of death; Frank Serpico, a former New York City Police Department Detective who exposed police corruption; and Frederick Douglass and a slave named Nelly, whose fierce resistance against her captors inspired his own crusade to end slavery. In a world in which fear runs rampant--when people would rather stand on the sidelines than speak out against injustice, go along with convention than bet on themselves, and turn a blind eye to the ugly realities of modern life--we need courage more than ever. We need the courage of whistleblowers and risk takers. We need the courage of activists and adventurers. We need the courage of writers who speak the truth--and the courage of leaders to listen. We need you to step into the arena and fight.

The most lucid minds in history have had something in common that has allowed them to control their emotions, avoid distractions, discover new ways of looking at the world and achieve all their goals. Zen Buddhist thinkers called it inner peace, an essential characteristic for samurai and monks alike. Stoics and Epicureans baptized it as ataraxia, a bastion against the passions of the crowd, indispensable for leadership and the search for truth. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to maintain stability as the world turns chaotically around us. Stillness is the key. It describes a way to reach that state through the body, the mind and the spirit. From the work of thinkers ranging from Confucius, Marco Aurelio and Seneca to John Stuart Mill and Friedrich Nietzsche, Holiday explains that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the threshold that allows us to access mastery, discipline and concentration . Enriched with contemporary examples from leaders and artists such as Winston Churchill, Anne Frank, Tiger Woods, and Marina Abramovi and written in her characteristic direct and concise language, this book confirms Ryan Holiday's talent for transmitting ancient wisdom in an accessible and relevant way for the new generations.

Vastoinkäymiset voimavaraksi on yli miljoona kappaletta myynyt kansainvälinen menestysteos, joka on inspiroinut lukuisia eri alojen menestyjiä, kuten Arnold Schwarzeneggeria ja muusikko LL Cool J:tä sekä urheiluvalmentajia ja yritysjohtajia. Vastoinkäymiset voimavaraksi perustuu antiikin ajan stoalaiseen filosofiaan, jonka mukaan elämässä kohdatut vastoinkäymiset eivät ole pelkästään haittoja, vaan niiden avulla voi kehittää itseään ja avata uusia mahdollisuuksia. Vaikeudet kannattaa mieltää tilaisuuksiksi tulla paremmaksi, vahvemmaksi ja kyvykkäämmäksi. Holiday kertoo teoksessa helppotajuisesti tarinoita tunnetuista historian hahmoista, jotka ovat selvinneet vastoinkäymisistään voittoisasti stoalaisten ajattelijoiden oppien avulla. Antiikin filosofien Marcus Aureliuksen ja Epiktetoksen lisäksi sellaisia ovat muun muassa John D. Rockefeller, Amelia Earhart ja Ulysses S. Grant - puhumattakaan sellaisista nimistä kuin Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs, Margaret Thatcher ja Barack Obama. Ryan Holiday on yhdysvaltalainen yritysvalmentaja ja kirjailija, joka on avustanut myös lukuisia tunnettuja lehtiä, kuten Forbesia, The Huffington Postia ja The Guardiania.

The #1 New York Times Bestseller that shows why slowing down is the key to getting ahead.

Instant New York Times Advice & Business Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, and Wall Street Journal #1 Bestseller A New York Times Noteworthy Pick and a "stellar work" by Publishers Weekly From the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue. Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire. In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known--and not so well-known--Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius--slaves to emperors--is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any reader in search of inspiration from the past.

Como expone Ryan Holiday en este revelador volumen, los obst culos no son s lo instancias en el camino que debemos vencer: tambi n pueden ser una fuente de inspiraci n y, a n m s, una herramienta para convertir las crisis en oportunidades, y los reveses en escalones para el xito. Obstacles are not merely objects in our path that we need to overcome. They can also be a source of inspiration, or even a tool for turning crisis into opportunity and setbacks into steps to success.
