The Obstacle is the Way

The Obstacle is the Way was an interesting book and focuses on the philosophy of Stoicism. I did not know what that meant before this book, but it revolves around perseverance and how to learn and grow from the beatdowns life throws at us. There are several stories of how various historical figures dealt with difficult circumstances and succeeded due to their ability to endure major setbacks yet keep moving forward. Often it seems that the one who can endure the most without quitting is the victor since the harsh environment can clear out the competition and create an open path to success. It was a quick and enjoyable book and I would highly recommend it!!!
