“The obstacle in the path becomes the path.If you are interested in this topic, I think you’ll enjoy this summary of the book through some of my highlights. I don’t agree with every premise in this book, but I do think Holiday does a really good job of sharing time-tested philosophy and showing the practical application. In this book, Holiday gives a blueprint on how we can respond better to adversity through reshaping our perception, acting on the opportunity presented to us, and persevering regardless of the results. Holiday is a self-proclaimed Stoic and he takes this ancient philosophy and applies it to modern times. I just recently read Ryan Holiday’s book The Obstacle is the Way and I really enjoyed it. Those who accomplish a lot see obstacles not as setbacks but as opportunities. One trait that separates the “successful” (however you define it) from those who lack consistency with their results, is the way they view obstacles. “Whatever we face, we have a choice: Will we be blocked by obstacles, or will we advance through and over them?” -Ryan Holiday Shawn L Welch Click to tweet
