CR: The Obstacle Is the Way
CURRENTLY READING: The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph by Ryan Holiday.
This one's been on my to-read shelf for a while. A few summers ago, I got to read a distillation of Meditations, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius by Donald J. Robertson. A lot of the concepts in that book appear here as well. I wouldn't say I'm a stoic just from reading it, but between that book and Obstacle, it's pretty simple, with practice, to mentally step back from situations and stop worrying about things one can't control or change.
