There are things we can change and things we cannot. No matter how much we argue with an airline representative about a canceled flight due to weather conditions, it won’t stop the storm. No matter how anxious you are in traffic, you won’t go faster. You can’t stop technology from failing at the worst moments, nor can you change your height, or be born in another country. But by worrying about what cannot be changed, we waste strength, resources, and time that could be directed toward what we can actually influence. This book will change the way you view the reality around you and teach you to approach solving any problems with self-control and wisdom. Ryan Holiday is a media strategist and author, a former marketing director at American Apparel, and founder of the creative company Brass Check, which has consulted Google, TASER, Complex, and other successful corporations.
