Each chapter ends with actionable advice that encourages reflection and growth, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their character and decision-making. The book's structure is well-organized, making it easy to digest and refer back to key points.

Truly a must read for everyone. As always great stories that highlight the needsdtk do the right thing, right now. Many life lessons of great people who did just that.

A good reminder to us not to forget the past. Filled with lots of historical events that are still relevant today.

Well written, organized reminders of why we are here. Live as a stoic. Make a difference now and for the future!

Another strong book about virtue, personal courage, sacrifice, and perseverance. Mr. Holiday uses examples of famous and not so famous individuals throughout history to convey that we all can contribute to the greater good and make a difference.

I’ve read all of Ryan’s books on stoicism. Loved all of them. This one is a good read and I would recommend it. However, if you do not see eye to eye with Ryan on some political, many portions of the book will get on your nerves. The virtue signaling and wining is very prevalent. As always, Ryan does this in the best way possible but it’s still very prevalent in the pages. I almost did not finish it a couple times but decided to keep going. Will not be reading a second time. Writers can be very irritating at times lol I think they can forget that they just write and are not actually the people they are writing about.

Ryan never disappoints !Namaste

A philosopher was complaining that they all are just reselling old wisdom, without creating new ones. His friend responded that serving past truths and wisdom in the spirit and language of the present is a creation on its own.Ryan Holiday is such a masterful and dedicated creator of empowering and meaningful wisdom.
