Dein Hindernis ist Dein Weg - Jubiläumsausgabe

Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller & Wall Street Journal Bestseller<BR><BR>In The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday made ancient wisdom wildly popular with a new generation of leaders in sports, politics, and technology. In his new book, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead.<BR><BR>All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness--to be steady while the world spins around you. <BR><BR>In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this ancient, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus.<BR><BR>Holiday also examines figures who exemplified the power of stillness: baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose study of Zen made him the greatest home run hitter of all time; Winston Churchill, who in balancing his busy public life with time spent laying bricks and painting at his Chartwell estate managed to save the world from annihilation in the process; Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity. <BR><BR>More than ever, people are overwhelmed. They face obstacles and egos and competition. Stillness Is the Key offers a simple but inspiring antidote to the stress of 24/7 news and social media. The stillness that we all seek is the path to meaning, contentment, and excellence in a world that needs more of it than ever.

Die Inschrift auf dem Orakel von Delphi lautet: 'Nichts im Übermaß'. Das ist leicht gesagt, aber schwer zu praktizieren - und wenn es schon 300 v. Chr. schwer war, so ist es heute fast unmöglich. Und doch ist die Selbstdisziplin die stärkste und wichtigste Tugend, die jeder von uns lernen kann. Ohne sie können wir unsere Lebensziele nicht erreichen. Ryan Holiday beschreibt im 2. Band der Reihe über die vier stoischen Tugenden, wie wir Willenskraft, Mäßigung und Selbstkontrolle - also Disziplin - in unserem Leben kultivieren können. Von Aristoteles und Mark Aurel bis hin zu Toni Morrison und Königin Elisabeth II. beleuchtet er die großen Vorbilder dieser Praxis und was wir von ihnen lernen können. Bei Mäßigung geht es nicht um Abstinenz, sondern um Selbstachtung, Konzentration und Ausgewogenheit. Ohne sie werden selbst die positivsten Eigenschaften zu Charakterfehlern. Aber mit Mäßigung sind Glück und Erfolg garantiert: Der Schlüssel liegt nicht im Mehr, sondern darin, das richtige Maß zu finden.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER<BR><BR>Foster curiosity, discernment and life-changing wisdom: book 4 in the bestselling Stoic Virtues series<BR><BR>'Some authors give advice. Ryan Holiday distils wisdom' CAL NEWPORT, bestselling author of Deep Work<BR><BR> 'Ryan Holiday is one of his generation's finest thinkers' STEVEN PRESSFIELD, author of The War of Art<BR><BR>Wisdom is central to a meaningful life. It gives us perspective, reveals knowledge and guides our path. Without it, our best qualities become our worst: courage turns to foolhardiness, self-discipline to cruelty, justice to empty moralising. We all aspire to be wise - but wisdom is earned. <BR><BR>In this fourth and final instalment of his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday uncovers tried and true methods for cultivating wisdom. Drawing on lessons from heroes across history, including Marcus Aurelius, Abraham Lincoln, Maya Angelou and Joan Didion, he shows how to keep an open mind in times of division and disruption; to listen more than we talk; to think with nuance and ruthlessly question our own beliefs. Through cautionary figures like Elon Musk, he shows how dangerous intelligence can be without wisdom - and how we can all escape today's traps of tribalism, certainty and self-righteousness. <BR><BR>Are you open to listening? Are you willing to question? Are you here to learn? Wisdom is work. But it's worth it.
