Ryan Holiday: Stillness is the Key

The act of "stillness" is something we don't do or see a lot of in today's world. People are too busy on Facebook and Instagram, or trying to figure out the next thing they need to buy to measure up to today's society. Material items and the way people view us are our top priorities, simply because that's where technology has taken us. Ryan Holiday wrote this book by taking inspiration from thought-leaders like Confucius, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill, and Nietzsche.Stillness is the Key is written to teach you how to be steady while the world spins around you. With so much distraction, it can be hard to follow through with your goals and dreams. Becoming still can take you down the path to meaning, contentment, and excellence in a world that needs more of it than ever.
