Deal Details
Various Retailers have Right Thing, Right Now: Good Values. Good Character. Good Deeds. (The Stoic Virtues Series, eBook) by Ryan Holiday on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Community Member Mikeyhofosho for sharing this deal.

Available Retailers: About this Book:
  • In Right Thing, Right Now, Holiday draws on fascinating stories of historical figures such as Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gandhi, and Frederick Douglass, whose examples of kindness, honesty, integrity, and loyalty we can emulate as pillars of upright living. Through the lives of these role models, readers learn the transformational power of living by a moral code and, through the cautionary tales of unjust leaders, the consequences of an ill-formed conscience.
  • The Stoics never claimed that living justly was easy, only that it was necessary. And that the alternative—sacrificing our principles for something lesser—was considered only by cowards and fools. Right Thing, Right Now is a powerful antidote to the moral failures of our modern age, and a manual for living virtuously.
  • 365 pages.

If you haven't read any of Ryan's books, I would recommend it. Most of his recent work has been on stoicism, and it's very approachable and applicable.

On one hand, Ryan Holiday seems like a competent author and many do seem to like his books.

I remember liking his guerilla marketing book ages ago but when your schtick is "media manipulation" is was ironic that Holiday was constantly gaslit by the mainstream media leading to him holding very "establishment" takes (others suggest he was grifting to not lose pub deals, but that is actually worse).

And for all his talk of stoicism and maintaining self discipline, it was funny to see him crash out over Ivanka Trump liking "Mediations" by Marcus Aurelius, completely undercutting his entire proposed philosophy.

So yes, this is probably a decent book that is dry humped distillation of other stoic literature but don't go thinking this is hard fought knowledge from the author.

Good series. May not the best of the series, but there is no order that they are best read in, so good starting point.

TDS is a helluva drug, but yes, a valuable learning opportunity. I've enjoyed a couple of his books as well. I might get this in audiobook instead.
