Philosophy used to be something boring and heavy I had to study in school.

Only a few times when I saw an inspirational quote I recognized did I perk up in my desk and show interest during class.

What if you could learn philosophy in a way that is actually fun, practical and useful for your life now?

A way that could help you manage uncertainty, find the mentor of your dreams or help you understand the importance of obstacles and failure and learn why they are necessary for our success.

Enter Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph (Portfolio, 2014).

He comes on The School of Greatness in this special episode to share his wealth of knowledge on how to integrate the ancient philosophy of stoicism to maximize your business and life.
