You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?*
@Ahmet Kaan Yours is the best comment I've ever seen on RUclips.
I got one better for you Khan;
You’ll watch a show for one hour, once a week and know everything about what’s happening over the course of 12 weeks. And we do that with multiples of shows and multiple swipes on social media. Imagine if we found the ability to put that same one hour per day into our goals. I did. I had more upward mobility over the past twelve years than I had the previous twelve. Some of us would become omnipotent.
Nice take 👌
Bro i have lived in literal solitary confinement for my entire life because people like you insist on using toxic laundry detergent and fragrances. I can't accomplish anything when the rest of you are CONSTANTLY trying to k1ll me with allergens
Same, but to me it's video games. You get addicted to a video game because you want to know the story, when it's just dopamine. You're spending hours leveling up your non-existent character when you could be leveling up yourself!
The too long didnt listen version of this video: Ryan Holiday is a fucking genius and this book will help every aspect of your life. This is not a paid advertisement, just a true testament.
"I never met a challenge I didn't fall in love with". This is a quote I heard on military SF podcast that really made an impact on the way I approach things now. Also, another understanding of stressors "a tree only grows strong by blowing in the wind, it's many growth rings tell its story of what it's been through". This paradigm of thinking and taking ACTION and not living in fear - taking incremental improvements each day, while not worrying about perfection - and being of service. These are things that have changed my life. Love your books!
My entire life has been one series of applying this principle after another. From childhood cancer with my son, to conscience objection, through two failed marriages. It’s application works!!!
I f-ing love the intro to this, "if your going to listen to summary of this book, you should listen to my summary because i wrote it!" 😂 Indeed!
The obstacle, he took it and made us watch his own summary instead and control the flow of his own material if it must flow that way great observation man
I literally thought of a phrase right before seeing this video “this is not in my way, this is the way” I am true philosopher.
3 Quotes to Live By:
1) "Don't compare yourself to someone else, compare yourself to your yesterday's self."
2) “You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending”
3) "Once you decide your lifes purpose, you will only have to pack one thing: "Your Heart."
Love from a small RUclipsr💙
Nice! Thanks For This!!💐
I feel you
Good stuff ❤
Thank you for this! Very interesting and informative.

“Things are never going to be perfect, never going to be ideal, never going to be truly fair. You have to work with what you can, do what you can with what you’ve got, and then turn it into what you want to have.”
that was a slap into reality
@@Adonis-official Oh! there goes gravity

Thanks god for Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle=The Way!
Ryan Holiday is a world class professional. He shows it through his confidence to share a free summary of his book.
It's not that uncommon to do that these days
Its shit. Hes just a marketing whizz.
He’s someone who got really really lucky
@@mackeejack6731 he put in the work and you didn't do shit. That's the difference.
@@mackeejack6731 i suggest you read the magic of thinking it big if you can shut your inner voice up
“The path of least resistance is a terrible teacher.” ~ Ryan Holiday 💪🏻🚀
I guess the path of least resistance has a lot in common with Ryan Holiday then.
@@KingMinosxxvi I think Ryan's great, but you're entitled to have your own opinion. Enjoy your day 😊
@@GrowthMindsetChannel anybody who summarises his own book, which is just a hodgepodge of things other people wrote down before is not great. His a thief and a solicitor of fools. Enjoy your day.
I think your quote is too absolutist to be reasonable. It's usually the right person with the path of the correct amount of adversity that really polished the diamond and makes it shine otherwise you break it or you waste your time.
@@KingMinosxxvi How so? Serious question
What's better than getting summary from author himself!!
You are genius Ryan. Grateful to have you sharing your wisdom with us.
I've been battling addiction for most of my life (58 yrs old) I came across your videos and quite simply it has changed my life. I no longer have this "poor me" attitude, rather I now view my addiction as a learning tool. My addiction is something that happens, and happened the way the way it happened. It's just another obstacle, out of the many life deals you that has become fuel for my potential.
Memento Mori!
I gave up alcohol 2 months back after 10 years of hevy drinking. I already feel like a differnt person.
Do yourself a favor and go to a mental health professional (or therapist) to figure out why you feel like sht so often that you have to use. Of course there's the feeling like sht because you're using, but I'm talking deeper than that. I'm talking about how you probably feel like sht more often than you don't on some fundamental level, and they can help with getting you to feel way less like sht than ya do. Also, Naltrexone is amazing, don't suffer if you don't have to. Source: I'm 13+years clean and sober, I walked my talk.
Thank you for these powerful statements.
💪
@@liverightdieproud2189 have a look at SMART RECOVERY programme. I'm 2.5yrs sober. It's based on cba and rebt. 😊
I'm trying Naltrexone. But
Some of us were Stoics all our lives. Adversity offers strength. We become the Iconostasis.
You gave our coach. Coach Shadeed a box full for our football team. I still have it. Thank you.
Very nicely done. Obstacles are the way, the truth and the life. I have been a Trial and Error guy all of my life. I see obstacles as the OPPORTUNITY to figure shit out. Just today, I COMPLETED 3 different difficult projects. All of my initial attempts to overcome these obstacles failed. My PERSISTENCE paid off . Most people never try because they do not have... THE WILL TO BEGIN.
Sometimes the worst things in your life can turn into the best thing that happens to you
Can anyone even IMAGINE calling son and mother to come watch the flames!!!!! This is SICK. I am living in Maui.
I always listen to it, when ever I feel overwhelmed by the burden of work I have to do against all odds.
There’s a quote from Edison. There are several versions and it may be apocryphal but it’s a pretty good quote anyway. Before he came up with a filament that would work an associate told him that it was a shame that he had wasted so much effort fruitlessly.
“No results? Why man, I have gotten a lot of results! I know several thousand things that won’t work.”
... and now we won't waste time pursuing those dead ends. 💪
I discovered this book when I was not in a good situation in my job, but after reading this book I was able to turn the opportunity to improve my condition. forever grateful for reading this book, and drawing me closer to stoicism.
"We can turn the worst thing that ever happened to us into a spring board to who we want to be"
My mom lost a battle to cancer about 3 years ago now. I always mentally hated the idea of that tragedy being some kind of catalyst for change because it felt wrong.
This is some of the positive affirmation we all need sometimes. Brought some clarity. Thanks man 🙏
Sorry for your loss 😐🙏🏻
Lost my Mom too back in '18 very suddenly. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's been a time of reflection and deep meditation for me. Try to let her passing refine you and not define you moving forward. Be well ✌️
Your mom would have been proud of you. There is nothing wrong about that.
Thank you all for the kind words 🤝
Matt I’m so sorry about your mum xxx I lost my mum also to cancer 😢… but I think your right about change when we go through a traumatic event ❤️❤️
The Conflict is the Way.
Every learning is a conflict: stay concentrated (feel the whole), remain relaxed (no inner conflict), stay focused (see what others do not, you will cross the chasm of your external conditioning).
A conflict reminds us of a learning that needs to take place in both us and others but it is never about aggression (pain of growth) either in us or others.
A conflict is a story in search of a path to a resolution.
A conflict stimulates change, growth, innovation ie a blessing in disguise.
The trick is to pause often, focus on learning and the unity of self.
We move from feeling disconnected, to addressing biggest constraints, to progress, to dealing with inner traumas, to joy and to a profound knowledge/flow.
I try to be the person for others that I needed when I was younger. Our experiences are so much more valuable than damaging. Perspective is paramount.
Just arrived today, look forward to reading, absorbing and benefiting from the challenge to change.
An author who knew he had written a great book did not give up after being rejected by publishers and sent it to 121 of them before it was published.
That book is called Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values by Robert M. Pirsig first published in 1974. It has sold more than 5 million copies around the world.
I hope that I can meet this man some day
Im passing through a bad time of anxiety I have find great confort seeing your videos and making your lessons part of my life Thanks
The anxious truth on yt is also great for anxiety...
Hope you'll find peace. We all go through it. Some more severe, the feeling passes away. Take actionand just one step at a time.
These are amazing life's lessons. learning to face adversity in your life and turning it into an opportunity to become better and thrive.
By having even small amounts of discipline and action on a daily basis we can keep our life from going out of control.
I got the book and i have read it countless times. Brillant one.
There's beauty in the struggle
I listen to you every day. One big BUT .... SO MANY SOLDIERS SO MANY WAR SITUATIONS. I am sure that are many MANY samples of stoicism in other situations through the centuries. MY HUMBLE OPINION. THANKS
Ryan, you have helped me re-invent my life and my work. Where I thought opportunities were diminishing in life, you have shown me that every conscious moment is an opportunity to grow and learn and contribute. Thank you for your enthusiasm and empathy and insights. In 2000 years time they will look back and say, “that Ryan Holiday was one of the greatest modern stoics of his time”
I've only recently found these videos, just wanted to say thank you - was going through some personal relationship stresses and found I was unable to handle the pain and hopelessness it created. These videos are helping me work through that and move through it. I've been gyming and walking everyday, my weight is coming down and I feel so much better. I've just ordered 3 of your books "The Obstacle is the Way, Grit: Why passion and resilience are the secrets to success, Drive The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" and I can't wait to get stuck in. Im using these personal experiences as a lesson and way for me to grow as a person. Thank you again and I look forward to going through more of your content.
Wow… this was amazing! Perseverance and belief!
Thank you Ryan, time to order the book!
Your books literally saved my life, thank you for sharing, and thank you for everything.
This book has changed my life. 💙
Definitely one of the 20 best profession development/business books of all time. Common sense concepts that you truly need to recover from difficult times by
1. Make the best of bad situation. Jim Rohn use to say during the winters some people hibernate and others ski. Life is too short to hibernate.
2. Keep a good attitude. Yes a bad situation from the outside is compounded when you are killing yourself from the inside. Also how can you make good decisions to recover if you have paralyzed yourself with unhelpful/negative thoughts. Changing the perception of a negative event to something positive, even if you have to lie to yourself, is necessary since the alternative will simply make the situation worse.
3. Take action to get out of your situation and make life better for yourself. The biggest lie is that things get better over time. They do not unless you take the correct required actions.
I was asked to compete against a young 18 year old weightlifter Judoka when I was 35 years old. There was a 9 weight class (9 lbs/level-class) difference between us and it was considered an impossibility to even try (I was the light weight). After we bowed in for the match he backed up and said to the referee, "He's not afraid of me." The referee replied, "No, he is not." Fear is controllable from a number of perspectives and takes practice to have the ability to deal with your fear.
Part 3 really hits the spot. Sold me on the book. I love the daily stoic. I read the emails every morning.
It is my belief that depression is born of those whose thoughts run deepest. The ones who observe imbalance and feel helpless in vastness of it. I have always been stoic in my beliefs without knowing it. This blog touched me.
Thank you Ryan for such a wonderful summary for your own book, , You are truly a legend !
Congratulations on the success of your book! It's the kind of content that can never be said enough.
Your teachings, are my enlightenment. Thank you.
My first year dealing with MS diagnosis was my personal rock bottom, and I've been through some shit. Time to turn it around though 🙃
What remains on the way, becomes the way!
Ryan, knowing how valuable and precious your time is to you when you are not writing your next book is makes this video even more special ! Thank you
I just came across this channel by chance it has opened my mind in so many ways I love it thank you...
Great morning bloom..❤❤
Thank you for this summary. I have not read or listened to the book, but it is on the list of books I need to check out thanks to the video. I'm battling an obstacle right now and this was what I needed to hear.
Im loving this book Ryan. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing, thanks for teaching how to improve our lives 🙏
I just wish every person struggling with problems that make them want to take their own life can read this book. It's really inspiring to continue fighting
Love what you do, Sir. Good for the world, one individual at a time, bringin’ US all together. Cheers.
Great advice and insight! Make each day better than the one you had yesterday! And make yourself better than you were yesterday!
I'm so glad I found you on RUclips. I have been so encouraged by your shows. I will have to decide what book to buy. Thank you.

So powerful....i enjoyed listening to this
Thanks for the summary. Now I will buy the book, and be better for it.
So refreshing and motivating.
Your videos are so beneficial to society. Thank you.
2.25 3.00 Discipline amist the Chaos is what makes a Great Man
5.28 Apada ko avasar mein paida krna
khudko is kabil bana ne ke liye practice kena. Practice to 1) Not get afraid in problem, and remaining calm during crisis situation
2) Searching for oportunity and thereby success in the failure, loosing situation -- It's all about forming your perception, let the perception you desire get deep into your subconscious, which will give you great returns when the time will come

Ryan, you’re a hidden gem of RUclips. I’ve lived a lot of these, but your videos has brought consciousness to these philosophies. Thank you 🙏🏽
I am having deep deep respect for Ryan Holiday after watching this Book Summary and this is probably the best book Summary by Author himself. Meanwhile I am reading the Book. 😊
Selfless, humble, brilliant. Thankyou Ryan Holiday.
Thanks for the best summaries so far.
You are a well rounded (young) man. Thank you for your gifts.
Greatly appreciate all of your work

Reading this book now but it's slow going bc I'm reading and ABSORBING all of his fantastic books. Love this guy❤️
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us❤
I read two of his books already. I gave them away to friends and family when I finished. They loved it as well. Looking forward to the obstacle is the way. Your the man Ryan!
I am watching this again....slowed down. ...so much inspiration packed into this.
Love your work. The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius changed my life, I will definitely buy your book.
Thank you Ryan holiday sir. You are a genius, inspiring person. Thank you for letting us know these ideas. Stoicism is supreme. 💫
I absolutely love this book!!!! I have to say my favorite. I have the leather edition and carry it everywhere
Everyone Should Know about Ryan he is so kind.
Thanks, thanks...God bless you 🙏 I love you're teaching ❤
Thank you, you recognize your book is so important you give a summary. I want you to know your book means so much to me, this video actually convinced me to buy a copy
One of my favorite books!
I bought EGO IS THE ENEMY and THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY few months ago. I am reading them during my two weeks of break from my busy work. I am glad it is a right time to watch this video. Thank you Ryan!
It's so cool and serendipitous that I read a large portion of that book in early 2020 while travelling and hadn't really thought about the author. Here I am a couple years later and after watching his videos daily for the last month while I've been exploring stoicism more seriously, I learn he wrote the book that planted the seed. This is all wonderful.
Ryan this is awesome. I am mesmerized. Thank you sir.
I read the book! This video is a wonderful summary. It only made me want to go back and read it again!
I need this book. I’ll check your online store for it. Thank you, I’ve been devouring every video you’ve created for the last few weeks. ❤️
This is the first time I've been deeply excited for a book in a long time. I listened to meditations last summer on vox stoica. Life changing. Looking forward to this audiobook on my long drive to Montana tomorrow
