Summary
Fortune favours the bold. All great leaders of history have known this, and were successful because of the risks they dared to take. But today, so many of us are paralysed by fear.
Drawing on ancient Stoic wisdom and examples across history and around the world, Ryan Holiday shows why courage is so important, and how to cultivate it in our own lives. Courage is not simply physical bravery but also doing the right thing and standing up for what you believe; it's creativity, generosity and perseverance. And it is the only way to live an extraordinary, fulfilled and effective life.
Everything in life begins with courage. This book will equip you with the bravery to begin.

Thought provoking and inspiring
I was recommended this broke by a colleague.
It seems serendipitous this time where I’m trying to expose the injustices within an organisation that I would read/listen to this book there are moments where if I question myself the words encourage me to stand up for what I think is wrong and make a stand up.
This book will make you think of how can I make a difference and how can his words inspire me to be a better person.
I hope I have the opportunity to listen to it again

Ryan gets better and better in each book he writes
I started listening to this book on the 1st of January this year, and it gave me so much fuel for my plans for this year. I absolutely loved all the real people and stories Ryan brings in to describe the real meaning of courage. It brought me a deep sense of accountability. It gave me perspective to how I should face all the challenges life throw at us.
I love all his books, but I have to say that this one has been my favourite one so far.
Thank you Ryan for sharing so much knowledge and kindness with us.

Great listening
It’s one of the audiobooks I’ve finished fairly quickly as listening was not a chore which sometimes it can become with audiobooks. Many military examples quoted but it’s because history records the brave souls in those times. There’s also some examples from ordinary lives which is refreshing. I found the whole listening very inspiring.

One of the best books I've read
I absolutely loved this book through and through.
Easy listen, concise short chapters. Brilliant writing with practical lessons and good narration.
10/10 recommend.
Very much looking forward to the next 3 books, especially the next one on self discipline/temperance.

Another superb slice of stoicism from Ryan Holiday
Another superb slice of stoicism from Ryan Holiday.
Nobody does modern stoicism better than Holiday and this is another excellent addition to his work.
The chapter on the Spartan 300 is perhaps his finest singular piece of writing ever.
