In the third book in the trilogy that includes The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday draws on ancient Stoic and Buddhist wisdom to show why slowing down is essential to getting ahead.

Throughout history, there's been one indelible quality that great leaders, thinkers, artists, and visionaries have shared. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing.

The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, and knew it was essential whether you were a Samurai warrior or a monk. The Stoics and Epicureans called it ataraxia and believed it was a bulwark against the passions of the mob, a requirement of good leadership and a pathway to deep truth. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness--to be steady while the world spins around you.

In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this timeless, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hahn, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not merely inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus.

To make these ideas concrete, he also shares a wide range of examples from historical and contemporary figures who exemplified the power of stillness: baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose study of Zen made him the greatest home run hitter of all time; Winston Churchill, who enjoyed the time spent laying bricks at his Chartwell estate as an opportunity to reflect and recharge; Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity; and Marina Abramovic, whose performance art tests the limits of human endurance and focus.

Written in the same engaging style and packaged in the same concise, addictive format as The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, Stillness Is the Key establishes Holiday as one of the preeminent writers making ancient wisdom accessible and relevant for a new generation.

Super effective in making dry skin soft and supple
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this on a recommendation from my physical therapist post knee replacement surgery. My papery dry skin around the incision was replaced by soft skin, allowing my knee to bend easier, and my physical therapist massaged it into and around the incision.

Best lotion for psoriasis and eczema!
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotions is the only thing that helps my sons eczema and my husbands psoriasis! I like using it too. It stays moist for a little bit but absorbs well. Smell is very light and doesn't have artificial fragrance which I love. Pump never gives issues, easy to lock and open.

Would buy again
Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I would definitely buy this if you want to make your skin look and feel silky and shiny. It’s not greasy; it’s very lightweight. The application is simple and straightforward, but make sure you don’t use your hands when rubbing in this shimmer, or your hands will be covered in glitter. Aside from that, it’s a great product.
