INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In his New York Times bestselling book, Discipline Is Destiny, Ryan Holiday made the Stoic case for a life of self-discipline. In this much-anticipated third installment in the Stoic Virtues series, he argues for the necessity of doing what’s right—even when it isn’t easy

For the ancients, everything worth pursuing in life flowed from a strong sense of justice—or one’s commitment to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult. In order to be courageous, wise, and self-disciplined, one must begin with justice. The influence of the modern world often tells us that acting justly is optional. Holiday argues that that’s simply untrue—and the fact that so few people today have the strength to stand by their convictions explains much about why we’re so unhappy.

In Right Thing, Right Now., Holiday draws on fascinating stories of historical figures such as Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gandhi, and Frederick Douglass, whose examples of kindness, honesty, integrity, and loyalty we can emulate as pillars of upright living. Through the lives of these role models, listeners learn the transformational power of living by a moral code and, through the cautionary tales of unjust leaders, the consequences of an ill-formed conscience.

The Stoics never claimed that living justly was easy, only that it was necessary. And that the alternative—sacrificing our principles for something lesser—was considered only by cowards and fools. Right Thing, Right Now. is a powerful antidote to the moral failures of our modern age, and a manual for living virtuously.

Top Shelf!

This might be one of my favorite Ryan Holiday books. This is not a self-help book, but a better way to thinking and act in the world.

Well cited and an easy listen.

A bit naïve.

Remember macro economics?
At the tail end of every macro chapter they gave the ethical view of how a certain part of the economy was supposed to work. Reading that ethical portion of the economic book(s) during one of the largest economic crashes of a decade, felt like reading this book. It’s a fine thing to have a line in the sand that demonstrates where values and virtues should exist- it’s another to swallow the “should” and “must” that spills out of this book.

Fun but too naïve.
Maybe grow up a little more.

The answers for a better world are in here

Ryan brings these timeless truths and concepts down to earth, understandable by the least of us. Let’s try to live by some of these truths and we may, just may have a chance. Wonder how these stories would ring the right bells in other cultures, but I suspect well enough. As always excellent work!

Ryan’s best work in years

Maybe it’s just because it’s so timely. We could all use this reminder about doing the right thing.

My favorite book of Holiday’s since Conspiracy.

“To So Love The World”

His constant reference to Gandhi really inspires me, and I love how he enforces that the daily “small” tasks are what make us hero’s. Coming home to your family stressed, and tired that’s when it counts even more so to be kind

The genuine purpose of the book and words.

A fascinating, and introspective look into the habits and behaviors behind the virtue of Justice.

Good, Not Great & Very Political

I really love Ryan Holidays books. This one has the usual stoic wisdom, historic stories and impactful insights.

However rather than feeling like an objective treatise on Justice, the premise of the book, many times it just feels like political activism. If you agree with Ryan’s politics you’ll love it and if you disagree with Ryan’s politics you’ll find it hard to agree with at times, although I do still think there’s plenty of wisdom to glean.

However, that’s the sad thing about the political one-sidedness of this book. At times, especially politically, Ryan seems to have little ability to glean wisdom from any other point of view than his own. All of the modern day biographical examples are progressives. Every virtue highlighted is virtuous because it supported progressivism. In other words, he has no ability to consider any examples of modern day virtue from anyone that doesn’t support his political position.

Imagine the countless examples of virtuous people he neglected because of this. Imagine what an objective treatise on Justice could have been. Almost a modern-day Plato’s Republic. Yet, you’ll find he thinks more like Thrasymacus than Socrates or Plato, and that influences his view on Justice. Sad. It’s the definition of partisan.

Yet, such is the nature of the world today and life goes on. It still has many great ideas, and despite some disturbing political partisanship, there’s plenty to gain from it.

Many Good Principles

It's interesting how a writer, with obvious skill and intelligence is able to high light many of the excellent deeds and intentions of the last 200 plus years while giving a pass to those who destroy monuments; as if there isn't value in monuments you may have disagreement. Many gave of themselves to provide for future generations, a historical prospective and even political view point. If I'm agnostic, is it courageous or insightful of me to deface or otherwise wreck a Catholic or Roman statue? Should I start burning other people's money because it states "In God We Trust?" So it seems the author would have a White Supremacist tried for terrorism but the "woke liberal" who defaces a statue of George Washington might be prosecuted for vandalism. Or to be more on point; how about removing the Robert E. Lee statue or demanding the removal of the Confederate flag? Is there value in the these monuments too. Is there something to be gained by also contemplating the perspectives of other people groups, generations, eras and so on? Does tolerance only go one way? This author would have us believe it's acceptable to venerate those we agree with while condemning those we don't. Frankly, there are more neutral and interesting adventures into American and world history. I can't full heartedly endorse this book. It simply misses the mark like so many attempts at "righting history" do.
