Courage Is Calling (Summarized by the Author) in 5 Minutes

Will you answer the call?

In the first book of an exciting new series on the cardinal virtues of ancient philosophy, Ryan Holiday explores the most foundational virtue of all: Courage.

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.

“Courage is NOT the absence of fear. It is the pro dominance of ACTION in the face of fear”

Best book on Planet Earth currently. Got me through my first dedicated year against my crippling social anxiety.

“Life is short. And if life is short, then moving quickly matters. Launch the product. Write the book. Ask the question. Take the chance. Be thoughtful, but get moving.”

Courage is calling is a must read book for anyone who is pursuing their dream or goals in life. I can't wait for Ryan's next book in the stoic series.

It’s not who you are, but what you do that defines you

The Daily Stoic is my favorite! Just one page with sips of coffee in the morning before starting my day sets me right for the rest of it. Thank you 😊

Yes sir. Courage. Man even I'm the smallest of things I need this, not always killing warriors but more of just combating the small matters

I purchased and read your book while, on my personal journey, I was transitioning from Part 1 to Part 2. I distinctly remember reading it the night before my elective surgery I had been putting off for more than 20 years (because of my fear of surgery). Now, in this past month, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to exercise a little bit of Part 3. Not on the grand level as the examples in the book, but on a smaller scale where my calculated risks could benefit others. It really does offer a sense of fulfillment and purposeful direction in life because you can feel good about what you have chosen to do, regardless of what the outcome may be. I feel like "justice" is the most solid driving force behind my newest sense of courage, and when I feel a need to speak out against injustice rising in my throat, I now have the courage to set it free and stick to my chosen course of action without wavering. It's liberating. So, thanks for the book. It connects the dots in a wonderful way. Your anecdotal stories are always appreciated.
