If you liked, The Obstacle as the Way by Ryan Holiday, then I encourage you to give The Stoic Challenge by William B. Irvine a read. I've given both books to people I know who are struggling to deal with life's challenges. I tend to get get Holiday's book back with a big, "Thank you that was a great book". With the Stoic Challenge, people tend to want to give me money to replace the book because they've marked it up so much, or because they've read it and given it to someone in their life they think it will benefit. I never take their money. I just buy another copy for $11 on Amazon. BTW - I bought the fancy leather version of The Obstacle is the way from The Daily Stoic store and the coin - It's such a nice edition (I don't lend this one out).
I'm reading 'This is Strategy' now. The best takeaway is the high-level mindset of what strategy is and isn't. There are more tactical books on developing strategy, but this one helps frame everything appropriately.
That’s a great way to put it. It is a good ‘framing’ of strategy book. I also like his take on understanding of the current systems and the rules. All needed if you are trying to create the conditions for change.
