'Follow these precepts and you will revolutionize your life.'
Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art 'A book for the bedside
of every future - and current - leader in the world.' - Robert
Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power The Obstacle is the Way has
become a cult classic, beloved by men and women around the world
who apply its wisdom to become more successful at whatever they do.
The book's many fans include a former governor and movie star
(Arnold Schwarzenegger), a hip hop icon (LL Cool J), an Irish
tennis pro (James McGee), the World Number 1 golfer (Rory McIlroy)
and the coaches and players of winning teams like English Rugby
National Team, the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and
Chicago Cubs. The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the
ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with
perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can
control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle
into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus
Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: 'The impediment to action
advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.' Ryan
Holiday shows us how some of the most successful people in
history-from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S.
Grant to Steve Jobs-have applied stoicism to overcome difficult or
even impossible situations. Their embrace of these principles
ultimately mattered more than their natural intelligence, talents,
or luck. If you're feeling frustrated, demoralized, or stuck in a
rut, this book can help you turn your problems into your biggest
advantages. And along the way it will inspire you with dozens of
true stories of the greats from every age and era.

unreliable computer system called Horizon. When the Post Office
became aware that Horizon didn't work properly, it covered it up.

people had their lives ruined by a once-loved national institution
and how, against overwhelming odds, they fought back to clear their
names. Gripping, heart-breaking and enlightening, The Great Post

A long-overdue expose of the astonishing yet shadowy power wielded
by the world's largest law firms. Though not a household name,
Jones Day is well known in the halls of power, and serves as a
powerful encapsulation of the changes that have swept the legal
profession in recent decades. Founded in the US in 1893, it has
become one of the world's largest law firms, a global juggernaut
with deep ties to corporate interests and conservative politics. A
key player in the legal battles surrounding the Trump
administration, Jones Day has also for decades represented Big
Tobacco, defended opioid manufacturers, and worked tirelessly to
minimise the sexual-abuse scandals of the Catholic Church. Like
many of its peers, it has fought time and again for those who want
nothing more than to act without constraint or scrutiny - including
the Russian oligarchs as they have sought to expand
internationally. In this gripping and revealing new work of
narrative nonfiction, New York Times Business Investigations Editor
and bestselling author David Enrich at last tells the story of 'Big
Law' and the nearly unchecked influence these firms wield to shield
the wealthy and powerful - and bury their secrets.
