Description
Right Thing, Right Now by Ryan Holiday delves into the timeless wisdom of Stoicism, offering readers practical guidance for leading a life anchored in integrity and virtue. In this compelling exploration, Holiday unveils the importance of doing what is right, not for the sake of reward or recognition, but because it is the right thing to do. By steadfastly adhering to moral principles, we discover that happiness, success, meaning, and love naturally follow.
The narrative is enriched with historical anecdotes and contemporary examples, illustrating how legendary figures like Ulysses S. Grant and Marcus Aurelius embody Stoic virtues, while cautionary tales of Napoleon and F. Scott Fitzgerald serve as stark reminders of the consequences of drifting from one's moral compass. Throughout, Holiday emphasizes that while the path of righteousness is fraught with challenges, the alternative—choosing ease and convenience—ultimately leads to cowardice and folly.
This book is the third instalment in Ryan Holiday's bestselling Stoic Virtues series. It meticulously examines the vitality of integrity in cultivating a fulfilling and exemplary life. Through the lives of great leaders and thinkers, Right Thing, Right Now illustrates the power of owning our convictions, acting in alignment with our beliefs, and fortifying our conscience against the myriad temptations of moral compromise.
The crux of Holiday's message is the pivotal role of conscience. Our sense of justice and integrity stands as our ultimate strength. It is something we can and should continuously train, hone, and reinforce. Ultimately, the book serves as a manual for preserving and nurturing this essential inner guide, underscoring that we must never lose the integrity that steers us toward what is right.
Ideal for both seasoned practitioners of Stoicism and newcomers seeking wisdom, Right Thing, Right Now provides profound insights into living a virtuous life, encouraging readers to embrace the Stoic path of righteousness for a life well-lived.
