'A clear and inspiring guide for how to develop this highest of human virtues.' - Robert Greene
At its core, Courage Is Calling is a manifesto that underscores the principle that fortune favours the bold. Throughout history, great leaders recognised the importance of taking risks and stepping into the unknown. Yet in the modern world, many of us find ourselves paralysed by fear, hesitancy, and doubt.
Ryan Holiday, using the principles of Stoicism—a philosophy that prioritises rationality, self-control, and virtue—encourages readers to embrace courage in its many forms. He argues that courage is not merely about physical acts of valor but encompasses the everyday decisions to do the right thing, stand up for one's beliefs, and persist even when faced with overwhelming challenges.
The book shows us that courage manifests in creativity, generosity, and perseverance. It’s about making bold moves, even when it's uncomfortable or risky. Through well-researched historical examples and the distilled wisdom of ancient philosophers, Holiday provides actionable advice on how to cultivate courage in our own lives. This advice is designed to help readers live not just a good life, but an extraordinary one.
Each chapter builds upon the last, offering readers clear and practical steps to develop their own bravery. The book discusses how courage can be a guiding force in all aspects of life, from personal growth to professional success. By following Holiday's guidance, readers can learn to overcome their fears and take meaningful action in pursuit of their goals.
Everything in life begins with courage, and Courage Is Calling will equip you with the bravery to begin your own journey towards a more fulfilling and effective life. By the end of this enlightening read, you will feel empowered to face your fears and harness the power of courage to transform your life and the world around you.
