About this listen

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.

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

Really enjoyed listening to this audiobook by Ryan Holiday, another one to add to my life guidance library!

I also think of what Gandalf said, about bravery being about knowing when to stay our hand. This counts for each time we can choose to not harm anyone (any sentient life) when we know we have the option not to

I've listened to Ryan's podcast previously and found it easy to get into his reading of this book.

I find the books based on the four virtues to be a great guide in life

Very enjoyable series

This book was very insightful and challenges in a subtle way thee concepts of bravery and courage. I have extracted that courage is the willingness to be the anomaly it is the willingness to stand out for a right cause.
