We give up way too quickly. Changes in attitude are all it takes to transform seemingly insurmountable challenges into once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday is a media consultant for billion-dollar brands and dropped out of college when he was 19 to work as an apprentice for Robert Greene, the best-selling "modern Machiavelli." He now draws on the Stoic philosophy to help you through every situation, demonstrating that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better. An impossible deadline becomes an opportunity to demonstrate your dedication. And as Ryan discovered while working as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is causing controversy, it may also generate publicity. The Stoic belief that what is "in the way," "is the way" can be applied to any issue : It is a formula that was created over 2,000 years ago and has been proven to work in battles and board rooms ever since. The stoic philosophy has helped iPhone users become world-beaters, from Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races to the design of the iPhone.
