Description
The #1 New York Times Bestseller - How to Harness the Life-Changing Power of Integrity
‘A message all of us need to hear’ — Arnold Schwarzenegger
‘This book is a gift to humanity’ — Dr. Edith Eva Eger
For the Stoics, justice was more than an idea. It was a way of life, a personal commitment to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult the path.
Our ability to live by our values and do good is life-changing; it is key to self-respect, purpose and success on our own terms.
In this third instalment of his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday draws on historical icons and contemporary heroes to show us how to embrace the power of owning our convictions and acting accordingly in an era of dishonesty. Ultimately, the path to greatness is impossible without goodness.
Your values, your character and your deeds determine your success and your legacy. This book shows you the way.
