Right Thing, Right Now

Good Values. Good Character. Good Deeds.

By: Ryan Holiday

Narrated by: Ryan Holiday

If we do what is right, everything else will follow: happiness, success, meaning, reputation, love. This is central to Stoic wisdom. The path isn't always easy, but it is essential, and the alternative - taking the easy route - leads only to cowardice and folly.

In the third book in his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday explores the crucial role that integrity plays in every good life. From pillars of upright living like Ulysses S. Grant and Marcus Aurelius, to the cautionary tales of Napoleon and F. Scott Fitzgerald, this book shows us the power of owning our convictions and acting in accordance with our beliefs - and the perils of an ill-formed conscience.

Our conscience, our sense of justice, is our first and our last strength: we can train it, hone it and fortify it, but above all, we must never lose it. This book shows us how.

Stoicism is worth the listen

What a very neccessary listen! A ethical guide that we all need to listen and practice to navigate a world that puts more emphasis on greed and aggression that on courage and integrity! Ryan hits home with this audiobook - excellent listen!

Don't care if you're woke Ryan, it's a good book.

The message of justice is one we all need and maybe Ryan thinks it's only the left who can do the right thing right now, but funny enough, the right can do right to and there is much learning for is here. Thanks Ryan, we can do this. ;-)
