We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling modern Machiavelli Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better. If the competition threatens you, it s time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it s also potentially generating publicity. The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it s a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama s ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.

Throughout history, there has been one quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focused and calm in a constantly busy world. Drawing on a wide range of history s greatest thinkers, Holiday shows us how crucial stillness is, and how it can be cultivated in our own lives today. Just as Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey and baseball player Sadaharu Oh have done, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether building a business or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction. Stillness is the key to the self-mastery, discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive, noisy world.

It s wrecked the careers of promising young geniuses. It s evaporated great fortunes and run companies into the ground. It s made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame. Every great philosopher has warned against it, in our most lasting stories and countless works of art, in all culture and all ages. Its name? Ego, and it is the enemy - of ambition, of success and of resilience. In Ego is the Enemy, Ryan Holiday shows us how and why ego is such a powerful internal opponent to be guarded against at all stages of our careers and lives, and that we can only create our best work when we identify, acknowledge and disarm its dangers. Drawing on an array of inspiring characters and narratives from literature, philosophy and history, the book explores the nature and dangers of ego to illustrate how you can be humble in your aspirations, gracious in your success and resilient in your failures. The result is an inspiring and timely reminder that humility and confidence are our greatest friends when confronting the challenges of a culture that tends to fan the flames of ego, a book full of themes and life lessons that will resonate, uplift and inspire.

Ve svém bestselleru Disciplína je osud předložil Ryan Holiday stoické argumenty pro život plný sebekázně. V tomto očekávaném třetím díle série Stoických ctností obhajuje nutnost dělat to, co je správné – i když to není snadné.Podle starověkých učenců vycházelo vše, co v životě stojí za to, ze silného smyslu pro spravedlnost – neboli z odhodlání dělat správné věci, ať už jsou jakkoli obtížné. Abychom byli odvážní, moudří a ukáznění, musíme začít spravedlností. Vliv moderního světa nám často říká, že jednat spravedlivě není povinností člověka. Holiday tvrdí, že to prostě není pravda – a skutečnost, že tak málo lidí má dnes sílu stát si za svým přesvědčením, vysvětluje mnohé o tom, proč jsme tak nešťastní.V knize Right Thing, Right Now se Holiday opírá o fascinující příběhy historických osobností, jako byli Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gándhí a Frederick Douglass, jejichž příklady laskavosti, čestnosti, poctivosti a věrnosti můžeme napodobovat a mít je jako pilíře poctivého života. Prostřednictvím životů těchto vzorů se čtenáři dozvědí, jak proměňující sílu má život podle morálního kodexu. Na druhé straně také díky varovným příběhům nespravedlivých vůdců zjistí, jaké důsledky má špatně formované svědomí.Stoikové nikdy netvrdili, že žít spravedlivě je snadné, pouze že je to nutné. A že o alternativě – obětovat své zásady pro něco menšího – uvažují jen zbabělci a hlupáci. Kniha Right Thing Right Now je mocným protijedem na morální selhání naší moderní doby a návodem, jak žít ctnostně.

V knihe Odvaha volá Ryan Holiday rozoberá prvky strachu v prejave zbabelosti, prvky odvahy v prejave statočnosti a prvky hrdinstva v prejave chrabrosti. Prostredníctvom pútavých príbehov o historických a súčasných lídroch, vrátane Charlesa De Gaulla, Florence Nightingale a Martina Luthera Kinga Jr., nám Holiday ukazuje, ako prekonať strach a nachádzať odvahu v každodennom živote. Ponorte sa hlbšie do morálnych dilem a odvážnych skutkov dôležitých osobností starovekých aj moderných dejín. Ak sa vo svete, v ktorom je priveľa strachu, ľudia iba prizerajú, radšej sa prispôsobujú konvenciám a zatvárajú oči pred nepríjemnou realitou moderného života, potom potrebujeme odvahu viac ako kedykoľvek predtým. Potrebujeme odvahu tých, ktorí sa neboja prehovoriť, a ľudí, ktorí riskujú. Potrebujeme odvahu aktivistov a dobrodruhov. Potrebujeme odvahu spisovateľov, ktorí hovoria pravdu, a odvahu vodcov, ktorí počúvajú. Potrebujeme, aby sme vstúpili do arény a bojovali.

Často si myslíme, že ti druzí a vnější podmínky definují naše naděje na dosažení životního úspěchu a pocitu naplnění. Ve skutečnosti se náš největší nepřítel skrývá uvnitř nás: naše ego. Na počátku naší dráhy nás brzdí v učení a rozvíjení talentu. Rostoucí úspěch nás může oslepit, takže ztrácíme schopnost vidět vlastní chyby, což zasévá budoucí problémy. Při neúspěchu ego umocňuje každé zranění a ztěžuje nápravu. V každé fázi nám vlastní ego stojí v cestě. Ve světě, kde jsou v popředí sociální média a realitní show, je boj s egem nezbytný. Ego je nepřítel nám nabízí zbraň k tomuto boji. Díky lekcím z této knihy, jak uvádí Holiday, budete méně investovat do příběhu, který vyprávíte o své vlastní výjimečnosti, a v důsledku toho budete osvobozeni, abyste mohli vykonat dílo s přesahem tak, jak jste si předsevzali . Ryan Holiday, oblíbený autor bestsellerů jako Stoikův průvodce pro každý den nebo Klíčem je klid, v této knize motivuje k překonávání svodů našeho ega. Čerpá z historie i současnosti a literatury i filozofie a prostřednictvím příběhů nás posiluje, abychom se stali se tou nejlepší verzí nás samých.

Ryan Holiday dokázal nadchnout pro moudrost starověku již mnoho čtenářů. Ve své nové knize Klíčem je klid ukazuje na nadčasových základech stoické a buddhistické filosofie, jak se vnitřní klid může stát naší tajnou zbraní. Všichni velcí myslitelé, umělci, sportovci a vizionáři mají jednu nepopiratelnou společnou vlastnost. Je jí schopnost nepodléhat náladám; schopnost nenechat se rozptýlit a vidět tak věci podstatné a na první pohled skryté. Autor načrtává cestu, jak tohoto starodávného, a přece dnes tak naléhavě potřebného způsobu života dosáhnout. Uvádí řadu velkých myslitelů a zajímavých osobností (Konfucius, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Sadaharu Oh, Churchill, Anne Franková...) a na jejich příkladu ukazuje, že vnitřní klid není pouhou nečinností, ale branou k sebeovládání, sebe-mistrovství, sebekázni a soustředění.

Všetci veľkí lídri, myslitelia, umelci, bojovníci a vizionári majú spoločnú jednu schopnosť. Umožňuje im nepodľahnúť emóciám, utíšiť rozháranú myseľ a nenechať sa rozptyľovať neustálym prúdom myšlienok. Ryan Holiday túto vlastnosť nazýva vnútorný pokoj – schopnosť zachovať si rozvahu, aj keď je svet okolo nás rozbúrený.Vo svojej knihe ponúka návod, ako si túto dnes ešte potrebnejšiu schopnosť môže v sebe vypestovať každý z nás. Poznatky a zásady čerpá od najväčších mysliteľov z histórie i súčasnosti, ako sú Konfucius, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, John Stuart Mill, Nietzsche a Thich Nhat Han. Pokoj nie je nečinnosť. Je to vstupná brána k sebazdokonaleniu, disciplíne a sústredeniu. Zároveň je cestou k získaniu spokojnosti a duševnej pohody v našom hlučnom, chaotickom a stresom preplnenom svete.

Pokud se cítíte frustrovaní, demoralizovaní nebo uvízlí ve vyjetých kolejích, tato kniha vám může pomoci proměnit vaše problémy v životní příležitosti. RYAN HOLIDAY čerpá ze stoické filosofie a ukazuje nám, že to, co blokuje naši cestu, ve skutečnosti otevírá cestu novou a lepší. Stoické zásady lze použít k překonání obtížných nebo dokonce nemožných situací. Stoikové se soustředí na věci, které můžou ovlivnit, a naopak se nezabývají věcmi, které nejsou v jejich moci. Každou novou překážku proměňují na příležitost stát se lepším, silnějším a odolnějším. Kniha Překážka jako cesta se stala kultovní klasikou, kterou si oblíbili čtenáři po celém světě. K fanouškům patří bývalý guvernér a filmová hvězda Arnold Schwarzenegger, ikona hip hopu LL Cool J, irský tenisový profesionál James McGee, ale třeba i trenéři a hráči vítězných týmů jako New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Cubs a mužský basketbalový tým University of Texas.

Říká se, že strach je špatný rádce, ale co když je to přesně naopak? Možná bychom mu měli bedlivě naslouchat, a pak udělat přesný opak toho, co nám radí. Strach není opakem odvahy, ale jejím hybatelem. Odvaha je pak cílená práce se strachem a triumf nad ním. Okamžik pravdy. Někdo jednou řekl, že stoik je člověk, který pošle osud do prdele. Přesně tak. Stoik vzdoruje. Bojuje. Musí si vyvzdorovat život, jaký chce. Jsme tady na velmi krátkou dobu. Jak s tímto časem naložíte? Jako zbabělec? Jaké šance necháváte nevyužité? Představte si děsivé náklady přízemnosti. Strach, který pociťujete, je skvělým znamením. Pokud se od vás nikdy nepožaduje odvaha, žijete nudný život. Vystavujte se situacím, které vás nutí skočit. Budete stateční? Vyslyšíte volání? Půjdete s kůží na trh? Jaký charakter ukážete světu? Takto úsečně, provokativně a apelativně promlouvá Ryan Holiday v první ze čtyř knih série o stoických ctnostech. ODVAHA - DISCIPLINA - SPRAVEDLIVOST - MOUDROST Jasný a inspirativní návod, jak rozvíjet tuto nejvyšší lidskou ctnost. -- Robert Greene Ve světě, kde vládne strach - kde lidé raději stojí stranou, než aby vystoupili proti nespravedlnosti, kde se podřizují konvencím, než aby vsadili na sebe, a kde zavírají oči před nehezkou realitou moderního života - potřebujeme odvahu více než kdy jindy. Potřebujeme odvahu whistleblowerů a lidí, kteří riskují. Potřebujeme odvahu aktivistů a dobrodruhů. Potřebujeme odvahu spisovatelů, kteří říkají pravdu, a odvahu vůdců, kteří jim naslouchají. Potřebujeme, abyste i vy vstoupili do arény s odvahou a bojovali.

Užijte si skvělé dobrodružství, odehrávající se na stránkách této knihy, která se stala okamžitým bestsellerem podle New York Times, Wall Street Journal a také USA Today! Autor Ryan Holliday svou knihou Odvaha volá postavil první pilíř ze čtyř ctností, na nichž stojí umění života stoika. V této druhé knize čtyřdílné série oslavuje Holliday úžasnou sílu sebekázně na příkladech osobností, které ji uměly plně prokázat. Aby se člověk dokázal postavit jakékoliv výzvě, musí v první řadě ovládnout sám sebe - své emoce, myšlenky a činy. Jak trefně pravil Eisenhower, svoboda je naší příležitostí ukázat sebekázeň. Cicero nazval ctnost střídmosti třpytem života. Bez kázně a sebeovládání riskujeme, že nejen že nenaplníme svůj potenciál, ale také ohrožujeme to, čeho jsme dosud dosáhli. V dnešním světě plném pokušení a přebytku je tato teze důležitější než dříve. V knize Disciplína je osud Holiday čerpá z osudů postav z historie, kterými se můžeme inspirovat, včetně baseballového hráče Lou Gehriga, královny Alžběty II., boxera Floyda Pattersona, Marka Aurelia a také spisovatelky Toni Morrisonové. Jako varování přikládá příběhy Napoleona, nezřízeně bažícího po moci, F. Scotta Fitzgeralda a Babea Rutha. Prostřednictvím těchto vyprávění si můžeme uvědomit přednosti sebekázně a rovnováhy a stranit se výstřelků a požitkářství hédonismu. Jádrem stoicismu jsou čtyři jednoduché ctnosti: Odvaha, disciplína, spravedlnost a moudrost. Staří stoikové věřili, že všechno dobré se odvíjí právě za jejich základě. Kniha Disciplína vás povede po cestě k umění sebeovládání, na kterém závisí všechny ostatní schopnosti vedoucí k úspěchu. Disciplína je podmínkou, na níž stojí šance uspět a vyhnout se selhání.

If we do what is right, everything else will follow: happiness, success, meaning, reputation, love. This is central to Stoic wisdom. The path isn t always easy, but it is essential, and the alternative - taking the easy route - leads only to cowardice and folly.In the third book in his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday explores the crucial role that integrity plays in every good life. From pillars of upright living like Ulysses S. Grant and Marcus Aurelius, to the cautionary tales of Napoleon and F.Scott Fitzgerald, this book shows us the power of owning our convictions and acting in accordance with our beliefs - and the perils of an ill-formed conscience. Our conscience, our sense of justice, is our first and our last strength: we can train it, hone it and fortify it, but above all, we must never lose it. This book shows us how.

Conspiracy theories are legion. Conspiracies are rare. And of the few that do exist, fewer are ever discovered, let alone explained. This story is the exception.In 2016, media giant Gawker was forced to declare bankruptcy after a $140 million dollar judgment in court over an illegally recorded sex tape of Hulk Hogan. The case was no accident: it was the result of a nearly decade-long plot masterminded by Facebook and Paypal billionaire Peter Thiel.With exclusive access to all the key players, Ryan Holiday takes us behind the scenes of this extraordinary and at times surreal story, and transforms the events into both a dissection of that controversial methodology - conspiracy - and an eye-opening cautionary tale on the use, abuse and consequences of power and secrecy in the modern age.

Rímsky cisár Marcus Aurelius mal zaujímavý zvyk. Či už v stane priamona bojisku, alebo doma v paláci, vždy si našiel chvíľu len pre seba, abymohol písať. Nerobil to pre žiadne publikum, na žiaden účel. Všetkyslová adresoval sebe samému. Výsledkom tohto zvyku bol text, ktoréhomyšlienky sú platné aj po takmer dvoch tisícročiach a ktorý neustáleinšpiruje mnohých mysliteľov a spisovateľov.Jedným z nich je aj autor tejto knihy – mladý americký podnikateľRyan Holiday, ktorý na základe úvah Marca Aurelia a jeho filozofiestoicizmu vytvoril návod na prekonanie čohokoľvek negatívneho, čoživot prináša, či už ide o súkromie, alebo o prácu.

Aby človek ovládol čokoľvek druhé, musí najprv ovládnuť seba – svoje emócie, svoje myšlienky, svoje činy. Eisenhower sa raz vyslovil, že sloboda je v skutočnosti príležitosť na uplatnenie sebadisciplíny. Cicero nazýval cnosť zdržanlivosti (čo je len iný výraz pre disciplínu) ozdobou života. Bez hraníc a obmedzení riskujeme nielen to, že nerozvinieme svoj plný potenciál, ale ohrozíme to, čo sme už dosiahli a privoláme si biedu a hanbu.V dnešnom svete plnom pokušení a výstrelkov je táto staroveká idea potrebnejšia než kedykoľvek predtým. V knihe Disciplína je osud čerpá Holiday z príbehov historických osobností, ktoré nám môžu byť vzorom ako piliere sebadisciplíny, ale spomína aj niekoľko varovných príbehov. Autor prostredníctvom týchto pútavých príkladov učí čitateľov o sile sebadisciplíny a rovnováhy a varuje pred nebezpečenstvom extravagancie a hedonizmu.

New York Times Bestseller“Just because everything appears to be a mess doesn’t mean you have to be one. Mark Manson’s book is a call to arms for a better life and better world and could not be more needed right now.” — Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the EnemyFrom the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.In Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself.With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

Kniha - autor Ryan Holiday, 256 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Throughout history, there has been one quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focused and calm in a constantly busy world. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, Holiday shows us how crucial stillness is, and how it can be cultivated in our own lives today. Just as Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey and baseball player Sadaharu Oh have done, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether building a business or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction. Stillness is the key to the self-mastery, discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive, noisy world.
