Ryan Holiday: Stillness is the key

EPISODE 114

In our final episode on Ryan Holiday, we look at his best-selling book, Stillness Is The Key. We look at the tools to harness the power of slowing down your body and mind for fewer distractions, better self-control, and above all, a happier and more peaceful life.

Holiday examines figures who exemplified the power of stillness: Winston Churchill, Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity.SHOW OUTLINE
