    • If we do what is right, everything else will follow: happiness, success, meaning, reputation, love. This is central to Stoic wisdom. The path isn't always easy, but it is essential, and the alternative - taking the easy route - leads only to cowardice and folly. In the third book in his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday explores the crucial role that integrity plays in every good life. From pillars of upright living like Ulysses S. Grant and Marcus Aurelius, to the cautionary tales of Napoleon and F. Scott Fitzgerald, this book shows us the power of owning our convictions and acting in accordance with our beliefs - and the perils of an ill-formed conscience. Our conscience, our sense of justice, is our first and our last strength: we can train it, hone it and fortify it, but above all, we must never lose it. This book shows us how.

      Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

      Bestselling author and marketing strategist Ryan Holiday reveals how a classic work is made and marketed.Classic. Evergreen. Perennial. We can all identify products and ideas that seem to last forever and just keep selling. They exist in every industry, and should be every smart person's goal. Dependable resources, unsung money-makers, they increase in value and outlast the competition. But how can we create one ourselves? Here, Ryan Holiday reveals the secret. As a bestselling author whose books have sold over 5 million copies, and as creator of the worldwide phenomenon The Daily Stoic (now in its 10th year), he knows that creating a classic isn't about pandering to current trends, or selling out our values. It is about big dreams, a creative mindset and careful strategy. In this book, he takes us back to the first principles that underpin this thinking. Featuring interviews with some of the world's greatest entrepreneurs and creatives, and grounded in stories of classics from every field, the book shares an approach that anyone can adopt to make and market a classic work. Whether you have a book or a business, a song or the next great screenplay, this is the recipe for long-lasting success.
