Courage is Calling - Ryan Holiday

In Courage is Calling, Ryan Holiday delves into the ancient Stoic philosophy to explore the essence of courage and why it is essential for achieving greatness. Drawing on examples from history, mythology, and contemporary life, Holiday defines courage not merely as bravery in the face of physical danger, but as the ability to act rightly and decisively, especially in difficult or uncertain situations.

The book argues that courage is not an innate trait reserved for extraordinary individuals, but a quality that can be cultivated and developed through practice and conscious effort. Holiday emphasizes that true courage comes from the willingness to do what is right, even when it’s hard or unpopular, and it’s rooted in inner strength, moral clarity, and the desire to make a positive difference.
