Story
"While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their images with sheer, almost irrational force, I've found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition."

Story
Almost every religion, spiritual practice, philosophy and person grapples with fear. The most repeated phrase in the Bible is “Be not afraid.” The ancient Greeks spoke of phobos, panic and terror. It is natural to feel fear, the Stoics believed, but it cannot rule you. Courage, then, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what’s right, to do what’s needed, to do what is true. And so it rests at the heart of the works of Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, and CS Lewis, alongside temperance, justice, and wisdom.

Story
The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

In 2007, a short blogpost by Gawker Media outed PayPal founder and billionaire investor Peter Thiel as gay. Thiel's sexuality had been known to close friends and family, but he didn't consider himself a public figure, and believed the information was private. This post would be the casus belli for a meticulously plotted conspiracy that would end nearly a decade later with a $140 million dollar judgment against Gawker and its bankruptcy. Only later would the world learn that Gawker's demise was not incidental - it had been masterminded by Thiel.

Publisher's Summary
Instant number one New York Times best seller and Wall Street Journal best seller
In The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, best-selling 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.
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. In this audiobook, 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.
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. 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.
What the critics say
"In this age of manufactured outrage and constant distraction, the ability to choose a focused inner stillness is arguably more important than ever before. Ryan Holiday’s book revives ancient wisdom that calls for a quiet life in a noisy and restless world." (Mark Manson, number one best-selling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck)
"The next Malcolm Gladwell. Ryan Holiday's just brilliant." (Lance Armstrong)
"Whether you are an athlete, an investor, a writer or an entrepreneur, this little but wise and soulful book will open the door to a healthier, less anxious and more productive life and career." (Arianna Huffington)

More of the same
I’ve read Ego & Obstacle and really enjoyed them. This book was more or less the same. Short chapters, historical figure study, common sense philosophy lessons. Ryan is a poor reader and really doesn’t do his writings any justice with a monotone, uninteresting voice and cadence. Found myself counting down on this book anxiously awaiting jumping over to my next book. Some good lessons here, but if you’ve already read his other books, it’s just more of the same.

Best book I’ve ever listened to
After having an audible account for years and listening to thousands of books, this one stands alone as my favourite.
If other books are a 10; this one must then be a 20.
Someday I would love to travel from my home in the Ottawa Valley and travel to Texas to shake Ryan’s hand.
I am a better man today for having listened to this and by more importantly taking the time to be still.

This book is the key.
I’ve recently become a follower of the works of Ryan Holiday, modern philosopher. I’ve been reading and learning about Stoic Philosophy for the last year or so, and recently came across his collection of books, website and podcast.
He delivers excellent discussions about the key elements of cardinal stoic virtues and how they’re observable in the careers and personal lives of notable persons in history. Storytelling is an excellent teaching/learning strategy, and I quite enjoy this.
Far more palatable than Gary John Bishop, Holiday delivers lessons rather than advice, and his response to common questions or objections isn’t a simple “fuck off, you’re the asshole here” (sorry Gary, Ryan does it better).
If you’re interested in learning how to foster inner peace, that is to no longer be at war with yourself and with the world, to resist distraction and persist in brave action, regardless of your religious affiliation (or agnosticism, or atheism), there is something here for you.
I’ve listened to this book four times already, and I’ll be purchasing this in print because I never want to be without this wisdom.

Needs to be read by a professional voice talent
I was excited to get this title, but quickly disappointed. The author, who undoubtedly is talented at writing, decided that he's also a professional voice talent. He is not. The pace and cadence, along with his tone, made it unlistenable. Within a half hour I knew I wouldn't be able to listen to the rest, and returned the title. Will have to get the book and do it the old fashioned way.

Good book, bad narration
With very few exceptions, authors should not narrate their own audiobooks. Ryan Holiday is an accomplished author who is interesting to listen to when interviewed, but he is not a professional voiceover. Although I enjoyed the content of this book, listening to Holiday read it with awkward breaks between words and phrases was a challenge that ultimately detracted from my enjoyment.

Wisdom Doesn't Change
For anyone who dislikes history or philosophy, try this book. Its message isn't new, but has been around for 2,000 years. Holiday manages to establish an elegant nexus between the wisdom of the stoics and the challenges of the noisy, frenetic, time in which we live. Stillness is necesary now more than ever.
I prefer listening to the author's voice and not the voice of a narrator. Holiday's cadence is his own; the cadence is lovely and would be lost with someone else reading his words. I hope this is not Holday's last book and that he continues to share with us his insights.

More content, less whining about politics
Maybe it's what he's going for, but Ryan's books always sound like a podcast that's about to have a mattress or meal kiit ad. If he wants to induce a state of stillness, bringing politics of any stripe into things probably isn't the way to do it.
He's got a following. so I'll be in the minority on this. I had hoped to like it.

A framework for a balanced life.
Ryan Holiday is one of my favorite writers, and same for many of my friends and clients. All entrepreneurs or creators that strive to maximize what they're able to accomplish in our short time on this world. But what's beyond just the maximization of efficiency? What about the maximization of wellbeing? The mental health side of our VC/startup/side hustle culture is often overshadowed or entirely ignored. What if we applied the same strategic thinking that we apply to our work, to our wellbeing? Ryan is asking the questions here that are more valuable than perhaps anything you'll pull off a self help aisle. Because as I've seen time and time again, with my clients and even personally, it doesn't matter how successful you may appear to be socially or financially - no more money or fame can replace the feeling of intentional inner stillness in your life. Until you can hold ownership over your inner world, the anxiety, and stress, you are owned by the outside world. Please Ryan, keep writing and fighting the good fight, you inspire me brother.

Supremely Satisfying Synthesis!
I'm a long time Holiday fan but who cares? Urge your friends to read this one first. WOW. Gentle synthesis of the commonalities of so many philosophies and primary religions. it's as though the spirit of the universe is right here and inside a still river runs deep. Guided by Epictetus, Seneca, Buddha and Aurelius, we see Woods, Merton, Jordan, Cherney, Huffington, Lincoln, Kennedy... Stillness is indeed the key. Yes, I'm excited to write this review, but in so doing my centered, grounded, deliberate sentiments are delivered in gratitude. Quiet. Still.

Be still and listen
Fresh off of my first listen and I can attest it’s worth the money and time. I rarely, if ever, listen to an audiobook from start to finish in one day but I could not stop listening to this one. I love how the author weaves interesting historical stories in and out of the teachings in this book. And calls back to them over multiple chapters. It builds the book as a real-life reference to how stillness can/should be used.

Incredibly disappointing
I am extremely disappointed by this latest work of Ryan Holiday, the material is disjointed, his performance seems forced and disingenuous. The “stillness” is a rant against some and a praise of others. It has no continuity and after enjoying his other work, this is felt like a betrayal to his loyal fans. Just a collection of poorly written verbiage bound together in a book to be sold

Despite an annoying transition music and an overly judgmental stance on interpersonal relationships. Also, it’s a shame the book ended on an advertisement section, Memento Mori would have been great last words.
