‘An urgent call to arms for each and all of us.’ - Matthew McConaughey‘Ryan Holiday is a genius.’ - Chris Evans‘A clear and inspiring guide for how to develop this highest of human virtues.’ - Robert Greene‘Worthy for anyone trying to develop their own code, this is a superb handbook for crafting a purposeful life. Masterfully composed and highly readable, using stories from antiquity to the modern-day realities confronting all leaders, the ‘march’ of the chapters brings forward valuable gems on each page of the journey. Holiday’s themes will remain with you and strengthen you long after you finish reading it.’ - General Jim Mattis, General, U.S. Marines (ret.) and 26th Secretary of Defense‘Ryan Holiday’s Courage is Calling traces the history of courage and its many faces through the ages and arrives at the present day with an urgent call to arms for each and all of us. As we battle our enemies within and without, will we choose to rise-up to the call of our courage or blush and bow down to the whispers of our cowardice? Our answer to this question is about more than our sense of duty, it’s about our freedom. It’s about more than wins and losses, it’s about our survival. It’s on me, it’s on you, it’s on us. Take the dare we may.’ - Matthew McConaughey, Academy Award Winning Actor and New York Times #1 best-selling author
