About this ebook

Discover the power, confidence and purposethat come with courage: book 1 in the New York Times-bestselling Stoic Virtues series

'An urgent call to arms for each and all of us' Matthew McConaughey


Courage is a powerful force that enables us to overcome obstacles, fight for what's right, serve others, drive change - and, ultimately, become who we were truly meant to be.

From the ancient Spartans to the American civil rights movement, from pioneering scientists to mould-breaking CEOs, leaders across history have always found greatness because of the risks they dared to take. But today, so many of us are paralysed by fear.

In this first book in the bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday shows how we too can step forward while when others might step back. Courage is not simply physical bravery but also doing the right thing and standing up for what you believe; it's creativity, generosity and perseverance. And it is the only way to live an extraordinary, fulfilled and effective life.

The call to courage comes to us all. If you won't answer, who will? This book will equip you with the bravery to begin.

'A clear and inspiring guide for how to develop this highest of human virtues' Robert Greene
