“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” — Marcus Aurelius
We are stuck, stymied, frustrated. But it needn’t be this way. There is a formula for success that’s been followed by the icons of history—from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs—a formula that let them turn obstacles into opportunities. Faced with impossible situations, they found the astounding triumphs we all seek.
These men and women were not exceptionally brilliant, lucky, or gifted. Their success came from timeless philosophical principles laid down by a Roman emperor who struggled to articulate a method for excellence in any and all situations.
This book reveals that formula for the first time—and shows us how we can turn our own adversity into advantage.
THIS BOOK (in audio) LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE
I'm not into philosophy bs etc, I hate reading books, BUT MAN, since I got the audiobook a couple of years ago, believe it or not, i do listen to it again and again almost everyday. Every other day when i wake up i listen to one chapter or 2 and every other day before i sleep i do the same.
It takes few minutes, no more.
This book made me discover STOICISM, an ancien greek philosophy bla bla bla, a way to handle stuff and vision of what happens in our life, and again it changed my life, you should check that on youtube.
Simple, logic, effective, what else do you want.
This STOICISM is probably not much known and not taught in schools, because, I guess it wont help any regime to have all the citizens calm, smart and effective in life.
I guess stress help economies a lot.
Ps: I checked and links shared of the ebook still works.
Here is the audio book:
