Ryan Holiday’s Best Book Is Not About Stoicism

I’ve been a Ryan Holiday superfan since 2012.

He’s a modern-day genius and my favorite writer. I was fortunate that I was able to meet him and see him speak in a small venue back in 2017.

In the years since, Holiday’s popularity has exploded. He has spoken to senators and professional sports teams, executives and armed forces. While Holiday has become well-known for his work focusing on Stoicism, the best book of his entire oeuvre is actually one that is not dedicated to that philosophical discipline.
