Today we're discussing Ryan Holiday's 2019 book, "Stillness is the Key." A companion book to "The Obstacle is the Way" (2014) and "Ego is the Enemy" (2016, covered on episode 153), this self-development book valorizes the benefits of rest, contemplation, and maintaining your sanity in a consumingly-demanding world. Do you feel that you're never doing enough? Do you push through even when you're burning out? Have you accepted Buddhism and Stoicism as helpful philosophical counterpoints to modern hyperproductivity? Then stillness might be for you -- let's get into it!
