Courage Is Calling: Timeless Stoic values from the multimillion-selling author of THE DAILY STOIC de Ryan Holiday

Courage Is Calling: Timeless Stoic values from the multimillion-selling author of THE DAILY STOIC

Autor Ryan Holiday
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2022

După parcurgerea acestui volum, cititorul va poseda un set riguros de instrumente mentale pentru a transforma paralizia cauzată de frică în acțiune decisivă, fiind capabil să identifice momentul exact în care prudența devine lașitate. Suntem de părere că Courage Is Calling marchează o evoluție necesară în opera lui Ryan Holiday. Dacă în lucrările sale anterioare, precum The Obstacle Is the Way sau Stillness is the Key, accentul cădea pe reziliența individuală și liniștea interioară, aici observăm o trecere autoritară spre manifestarea externă a caracterului. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorul descompune virtutea curajului în etape pragmatice: gestionarea fricii (faza defensivă), exercitarea curajului cotidian și, în final, atingerea nivelului de eroism sau valoare morală superioară.

Abordarea sa diferă de cea din Ready, Begin! Practical Strategies for Cultivating Courage prin profunzimea ancorării în filozofia stoică și contextul istoric; în timp ce alte ghiduri se concentrează pe tehnici punctuale de management al anxietății, Holiday oferă un cadru etic complet. Observăm că autorul nu se limitează la teorie, ci extrage principii de leadership din experiențele unor figuri precum Florence Nightingale sau Frank Serpico, oferind modele de integritate pentru situații de criză. Cartea servește drept piatră de temelie pentru noua serie Stoic Virtues Series, poziționând curajul nu ca pe o absență a fricii, ci ca pe o datorie morală de a acționa corect în ciuda acesteia. Stilul este direct, tăios și orientat spre rezultate, fiind conceput special pentru cei care trebuie să ia decizii dificile sub presiune.

Recenzii

An urgent call to arms for each and all of us.
Ryan Holiday is a genius.
A clear and inspiring guide for how to develop this highest of human virtues.
Worthy for anyone trying to develop their own code, this is a superb handbook for crafting a purposeful life. Masterfully composed and highly readable, using stories from antiquity to the modern-day realities confronting all leaders, the 'march' of the chapters brings forward valuable gems on each page of the journey. Holiday's themes will remain with you and strengthen you long after you finish reading it.
Ryan Holiday's Courage is Calling traces the history of courage and its many faces through the ages and arrives at the present day with an urgent call to arms for each and all of us. As we battle our enemies within and without, will we choose to rise-up to the call of our courage or blush and bow down to the whispers of our cowardice? Our answer to this question is about more than our sense of duty, it's about our freedom. It's about more than wins and losses, it's about our survival. It's on me, it's on you, it's on us. Take the dare we may.
[Courage Is Calling] dresses us with the proper garments of courage, something we need more than ever.
Ryan Holiday shows his own courage in this book to not toe the line, to speak truth to power, and show us all why we must not defer to fear if we are to go forward together with grace and humanity. Drawing on examples across history--from the ancient Greek and Roman world to Florence Nightingale to his own critique of 'hollow courage' in our own times, Holiday shows why virtue matters now more than ever.
In a world full of people riddled with fears and deeply afraid of sticking their necks out, our salvation lies in cultivating courage in all arenas of life. In this book Ryan Holiday has provided a clear and inspiring guide for how to develop this highest of human virtues.
In this clarion call to act on your convictions, Holiday draws on a remarkable range of figures from Socrates to Solzhenitsyn. A heartfelt and passionate book.
A superb handbook for crafting a purposeful life.
It is fantastic ... All of his books are amazing - you have got to get into Ryan Holiday, it's as simple as that. If you don't, you're doing yourself a disfavour.
Ryan Holiday is among the most psychologically wise writers I know.
Ryan Holiday is one of his generation's finest thinkers
[Ryan Holiday is a] self-help sage, who is now a sought-after guru to NFL coaches, Olympians, hip-hop stars, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs . . . [he] translates Stoicism, which had counted emperors and states­men among its adherents during antiquity, into pithy catchphrases and digestible anecdotes for ambitious, twenty-first-century life hackers.
I don't have many rules in life, but one I never break is: If Ryan Holiday writes a book, I read it as soon as I can get my hands on it.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Ryan Holiday’s bestselling trilogy—The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego is the Enemy, and Stillness is the Key—captivated professional athletes, CEOs, politicians, and entrepreneurs and helped bring Stoicism to millions of readers. Now, in the first book of an exciting new series on the cardinal virtues of ancient philosophy, Holiday explores the most foundational virtue of all: Courage.

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.
 
In Courage Is Calling, Ryan Holiday breaks down the elements of fear, an expression of cowardice, the elements of courage, an expression of bravery, and lastly, the elements of heroism, an expression of valor. Through engaging stories about historic and contemporary leaders, including Charles De Gaulle, Florence Nightingale, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Holiday shows you how to conquer fear and practice courage in your daily life.
 
You’ll also delve deep into the moral dilemmas and courageous acts of lesser-known, but equally as important, figures from ancient and modern history, such as Helvidius Priscus, a Roman Senator who stood his ground against emperor Vespasian, even in the face of death; Frank Serpico, a former New York City Police Department Detective who exposed police corruption; and Frederick Douglass and a slave named Nelly, whose fierce resistance against her captors inspired his own crusade to end slavery.
 
In a world in which fear runs rampant—when people would rather stand on the sidelines than speak out against injustice, go along with convention than bet on themselves, and turn a blind eye to the ugly realities of modern life—we need courage more than ever. We need the courage of whistleblowers and risk takers. We need the courage of activists and adventurers. We need the courage of writers who speak the truth—and the courage of leaders to listen.
 
We need you to step into the arena and fight.
