How to stop? How to focus to think things through and make a sound decision? What secret do those who manage to maintain concentration and composure in virtually any situation possess?

Ryan Holiday, a self-development expert, sought-after consultant for football coaches, Olympians, hip-hop stars, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, after analyzing the works of the greatest thinkers of all time—from Confucius to Seneca, from Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hanh, from John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche—concluded that the main component of the success of outstanding leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and businesspeople is calmness.

In his brilliant book, he explains how to learn not to react to the surrounding environment and fully utilize your abilities at any time, in any place, and under any circumstances.
