520    "From Ryan Holiday, the New York Times bestselling author 
       of Stillness Is the Key, The Obstacle Is the Way, and Ego 
       Is the Enemy, comes the first book in a four-book series 
       about Stoic virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and 
       wisdom As Ryan Holiday wrote in his previous books, 
       Stoicism is a philosophy for the people. Stoicism isn't 
       fraught with complexities, contradictions, or circular 
       arguments about the meaning of life. Rather, Stoicism 
       offers practical, rich guidance about how to achieve 
       imperturbability, strength, perspective, and goodness. At 
       the heart of Stoicism are four simple virtues: courage, 
       temperance, justice, and wisdom. The whole philosophy can 
       be condensed into those four bullet points. Everything 
       else, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and countless 
       other Stoics believed, flows from these virtues. In 
       Courage Is Calling, Ryan Holiday breaks down the most 
       foundational virtue of all - courage. Through engaging 
       stories about historic and contemporary leaders, including
       Winston Churchill, Barack Obama, and Eleanor Roosevelt, as
       well as some lesser known but equally as remarkable people,
       Holiday shows you how to practice courage in your daily 
       life. Now more than ever, we need the courage of 
       whistleblowers. We need the courage of activists. We need 
       the courage of writers who speak the truth. As scholar 
       Nassim Taleb explains, courage is the virtue from which 
       all other virtues descend. There is no justice without 
       courage because the right thing is rarely easy. Only the 
       courageous pursue wisdom because wisdom is not easy to 
       find and it is rarely comfortable or comforting. The great
       commanders and entrepreneurs of our time took risks. They 
       entered the arena. They had the guts to roll the dice. 
       They were brave. Courage Is Calling will show you how you,
       too, can be courageous in all aspects of your life, and 
       thus, find goodness and strength within yourself"--
