Don't outshine your boss. YUP. I caught my boss completing fraud against the company. I went to HR and asked what to do? The next day I was brought into the office of HR with my boss, door closed and I was given the option to quit or go on a performance improvement plan that I was told would result in my termination. I was so confused, but I was told that I was putting the company in an awkward position that they did not want to deal with. They gave me $10, 000 to walk away, which sounds like a lot of money, but compared to a JOB, it is nothing. Months later, my boss was promoted! People in power, have POWER! A hard lesson to learn that companies talk about ethics, but when the rubber meets the road, they don't...

48 Laws of Power changed my Life. It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve read it, and have since quit drinking, have invested my time reading history, and philosophy. He pulled a veil from my eyes, and now I’m able to see the world with a clearer head. Thank You Mr Holiday, loved your recent book.

"Reading this just makes you a better human being" - That's exactly what I want to learn!

I read Meditations back in May, right before I was furloughed for 3 months and it couldn't have been at a better time. I used my entire furlough time reading and working through the emotions and difficulties I was facing. It made this year one of the best years of my life because I simply choose it.

My mom often echoed the familiar quote "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely" and it has always stuck with me. I sincerely admire and appreciate people in power that resist power's intoxication. Marcus Aurelius is deserving of generous accolades.

for me, it all started after my sister-in-law spoke about a book that in conversation with a friend seemed interesting. I looked it up and found it. It was "The Obstacle is the Way" and after reading this book I was hooked! Stoicism has made understanding life much more simple and much more enjoyable. My most recent book, which was given to me for my birthday is a signed copy of "The Daily Stoic". Thank you, Ryan!

I have read both your books ‘ego is the enemy’ and ‘obstacle is the way’. I am currently absorbing the materials from ‘48 laws of power’. Now that you have mentioned meditations i must get my hands on that. Thanks

How wonderful to put Meditations to work: I have been hurt by someone and avoid that person so much (I ran from him yesterday) but I should expect this! I should not expect all to be perfect or even kindly though I live in a helpful community.

[vikassingh]

Ryan, you are amazing, I always look forward for your videos ! It’s a treasure !!

[kumarsuraj]

power of now chapter 1 "you are not your mind" is all I needed. I read that 4 years ago and is still the most influential thing I ever read along with Mark Manson's writing.

[HenryHale]

Thank you Ryan. I had started reading ‘48 Laws of Power’ and was having a hard time understanding what Mr. Greene was teaching. You have cleared up my confusion, because I knew that Robert would not be teaching lessons on being, what I was taking away from it, morally deficient, but it had to be a lack of understanding on my part.

You have opened my eyes to see that these laws are amoral-it’s just the way life works. I can continue reading with better understanding.

[christinedlgRGV]

Thank you so much for all. And I just have to say that your fireplace is genius and wonderful!

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is such a good book. It was truly life-changing for me when I read it.

[Micoolaw]

Meditations has been my quake book, which I read this past spring during quarantine
