Stillness Is The Key

Rating 5/5

Ryan Holiday’s Stillness is the Key is one of my favourite books from 2019. 

I believe that everyone can get something of value from reading Stillness and that you owe it to yourself to buy and keep on your bookshelf and turn back to regularly. 

This is considered the third in a trilogy of books on Stoic philosophy that Ryan has written and while Obstacle and Ego are books that I highly recommend to people in certain instances, Stillness has something for everyone. 

It’s also extremely practical.

Each chapter includes advice to apply the practices talked about which is something that wasn’t emphasized as much in OITW and EITE. 

We live in a busy and chaotic world. Everyone is gasping for air as our attention is pulled in countless different directions and the key to it all is to find stillness in whatever way works best for you. 

This book shares why stillness is so importantly (and has literally saved the world from meltdown) and how you can get more stillness in your life to become better at everything you do.
