Summary of The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday

Preview:

The Obstacle Is the Way is a self-help book intended to give the reader a solid grasp of the basics of Stoicism and an understanding of their practical application in everyday life. This is not an academic work or a philosophy text, but rather a philosophical self-help book for managing the obstacles that life presents us. As the title of the book might suggest, the word “obstacles” is mentioned more than any other term throughout the text…

Quotes

  • Teohas quoted3 years ago
    In ancient warfare, a fortified citadel offered ancient armies a friendly base to which they could withdraw to avoid a routing defeat. The Stoic metaphor of an inner citadel derives from this principle, advising that an individual meet the challenges of the external world without undue vulnerability.

        Contemporary science supports the notion that if we allow emotions and prejudices to enter into our thoughts, we begin to lose our will [6]. Thus, science appears to be consistent with the Stoic belief that people can control their actions by preventing unfiltered perceptions from controlling their reactions to a given situation.
