Today’s book recommendation is the Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday. The Obstacle is the way is a phenomenal look at stoic philosophy as it applies to the problems we face on a daily basis.
In context for today’s episode, the obstacle is the way teaches us that while the fear of failing at our goals may be holding us back, it is in this pain that we will experience the greatest growth.
