Throughout history, there has been one quality that great leaders,
makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists
described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan
Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focused and calm
in a constantly busy world.

Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, Holiday

shows us how crucial stillness is, and how it can be cultivated in our
own lives today. Just as Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey and
baseball player Sadaharu Oh have done, we can all benefit from
stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether building a
business or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction.

Stillness is the key to the self-mastery, discipline and focus

necessary to succeed in this competitive, noisy world.
