Story
Almost every religion, spiritual practice, philosophy and person grapples with fear. The most repeated phrase in the Bible is “Be not afraid.” The ancient Greeks spoke of phobos, panic and terror. It is natural to feel fear, the Stoics believed, but it cannot rule you. Courage, then, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what’s right, to do what’s needed, to do what is true. And so it rests at the heart of the works of Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, and CS Lewis, alongside temperance, justice, and wisdom.

Another great book by Ryan Holiday
Reviewed: 09-10-22
I could not be more pleased with this book. Ryan once again writes a book that I refuse to listen to while there’s any chance of an outside distraction. It took me over 2 weeks to listen to, mostly because I rewound it a couple dozen times to make sure I correctly processed what I was hearing. Too much good stuff in here to chance missing any part of it. You will be better and smarter for taking the time to listen to Courage is Calling.
Packed with a nice balance of knowledge, truth and wisdom, combined with analogies and personal anecdotes, this is a modern day guide to leveling up, fine tuning, and becoming better.
Thank you Ryan

Unbelievable Will
Reviewed: 12-17-21
Unbelievable. I read / listen to a lot of books. Mostly inspirational, educational, self help type books. Books written by pastors, doctors, and Buddhists monks, I don’t know that I’ve listened to a better book than this. Will Smith is an incredible human. His ability to capture the listener, convey a message, and influence a person are unmatched. I will share this book with another who wants to be inspired and better understand life. Thanks Will. You’re blessed beyond mere mortals. And rightfully so.
