The obstacle is the way

While I found "Ego is the enemy" a bit more well built, this book was really good in forcing you to envision things in a different way, helping you to cope with adversity and obstacles by changing the way you think about them (or see them, or feel them even). While still heavily based on the Stoïc teachings, Ryan Holiday offers a great lot of examples of people overcoming adversity and building something new, better and stronger upon at first seemingly impossible obstacles. Quite inspiring and really helpful for everyone willing to improve himself.
