In his new book, \u003ci\u003eStillness Is the Key\u003c\/i\u003e, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHoliday 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore than ever, people are overwhelmed. They face obstacles and egos and competition. \u003ci\u003eStillness Is the Key \u003c\/i\u003eoffers 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRyan Holiday\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the world's bestselling living philosophers.
