I want to just sort of understand a little about what’s going on. It’s for me, I feel like I get the insight into the person.Īnd I, I’m curious about that. I’m the exact opposite by the way, I hate acknowledgments and I don’t like anytime the author puts them at the front of the book. One of my favorite things to do when I’m reading a book is to read any afterward or acknowledgments first. Ryan it’s an absolute pleasure to have you as part of our conversation today. Here’s the conversation with Ryan Holiday. It’s to bridle that ambition, it’s to bridle those passions. Sometimes it’s not harder work that’s needed. In fact, anybody who has achieved a certain level of success, but feel sometimes that they’re plateauing in their progress, or even starting to fail all together, this conversation is relevant. And in this conversation with Ryan Holiday, a modern student, and teacher, and best-selling author of the Stoics, we get to really explore this thing. What got us to be successful is not the same strategy, the same set of behaviors that will help us to continue to be successful, to break through to a higher point of contribution. It is what I have called the paradox of success. Where all of the opportunities, the outside noise is hijacking our day. We can sometimes find ourselves stretched too thin, busy but not productive. And as it turns out, that may be a nicer problem to have, but it doesn’t make it less of a problem. Almost nothing has been written about what to do once you are. Much of what has been written about success focuses on how to become successful in the first place.
