Almost every religion, spiritual practice, philosophy and person grapples with fear. The most repeated phrase in the Bible is “Be not afraid.” The ancient Greeks spoke of phobos, panic and terror. It is natural to feel fear, the Stoics believed, but it cannot rule you. Courage, then, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what’s right, to do what’s needed, to do what is true. And so it rests at the heart of the works of Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, and CS Lewis, alongside temperance, justice, and wisdom.

Exemplary Literary Courage
Revisado: 05-12-23
They say the best way to exhibit mastery is by teaching. And the best way to learn is by practicing and doing- knowledge in action. I am grateful for Ryan’s generosity and courage to share this truth and paramount virtue. Courage is the cornerstone to all stoic principles.
And while it may not always be easy to practice, it is what preserves the truths, rights, and values we most cherish as humans.

To master anything, one must first master themselves–one’s emotions, one’s thoughts, one’s actions. Eisenhower famously said that freedom is really the opportunity to practice self-discipline. Cicero called the virtue of temperance the polish of life. Without boundaries and restraint, we risk not only failing to meet our full potential and jeopardizing what we have achieved, but we ensure misery and shame. In a world of temptation and excess, this ancient idea is more urgent than ever.

Perennial literary art on discipline
Revisado: 02-13-23
This book is a fountain of wisdom, jammed packed with historical facts that share practical, valuable insights on the relationship between destiny and discipline, why it’s important and how it ultimately facilitates freedom.
I would recommend this book to anyone that is actively working on overcoming challenges, creative blocks, or actualizing their latent potential;
Because listening to this book is like having a patient philosopher in your ear, guiding you with insights on how to face and overcome life’s greatest challenges with discipline for a better destiny.
And just as great masters are truly at heart, great students- it’s clear the author has been researching discipline for years, underlining sentences, writing key take always on cards, practicing and meditating on discipline at the root level and then offers the fruits of his understanding.
Grateful for this timeless piece of literary art that is sure to help millions of people around the world. Thank you, Ryan.

In 490 BCE Pheidippides ran for 36 hours straight from Athens to Sparta to seek help in defending Athens from a Persian invasion in the Battle of Marathon. In doing so he saved the development of Western civilization and inspired the birth of the marathon as we know it. Even now, some 2,500 years later, that run stands enduringly as one of greatest physical accomplishments in the history of mankind.

Grateful for Practical Poetic Arete
Revisado: 12-30-18
It has been said that fools may learn from personal experience. Yet, the wise learn from the experiences of others. This audiobook engages you with a vivid adventure in a champion’s path with Greek history, virtue, passion, philosophy, the divine, family, food, grit, and excellence. Another generous gift from beloved, Karno. I would recommend this book to anyone active in personal growth and development.

Could not stand the narrator, out dated info
Revisado: 08-11-15
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Getting straight to the meat and potatoes, practical up to date info.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Some what of a lisp or odd accent.
