About Ryan Holiday
Author and media strategist; former director of marketing at American Apparel and owner of the Painted Porch bookshop in Texas.
The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy convert Stoic practice - separating what is controllable from what is not, treating recognition as a threat to judgment - into working habits for people running companies, which is why the books circulate so widely among founders. Trust Me, I'm Lying and Growth Hacker Marketing document how online media incentives can be manipulated, written by someone who did it professionally.

Essential Stoicism reading list
“Holiday and Stephen Hanselman's 366-entry book of daily passages, each paired with a short commentary. Works better as a companion to the primary sources than as a standalone. Many readers cycle through it annually — it surfaces passages from Marcus, Seneca, and Epictetus that might otherwise get skipped.”
