New Releases by Ryan Holiday

Mesmo durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, Winston Churchill continuou a refugiar-se na sua casa de campo para pintar; John Kennedy, durante a crise dos mísseis em Cuba, isolava-se nos jardins da Casa Branca; a adolescente Anne Frank encontrou no seu diário a paz possível durante os seus últimos dois anos de vida. Essa procura do silêncio, da quietude, é uma necessidade tão antiga quanto o ser humano. Qualquer pessoa confrontada com a pressão do quotidiano, seja artista, empresário ou atleta, se quiser perceber a realidade, tem de criar um espaço e um tempo próprios para se afastar da agitação. Ryan Holiday, um controverso guru do marketing, encontrou o seu refúgio na leitura dos filósofos da antiguidade clássica, sobretudo dos estoicos. Com o tempo, e ao longo da última década, tornou-se no seu maior divulgador, e o responsável por ter criado a moda do estoicismo em Silicon Valley. Em A Quietude é a Resposta, o autor socorre-se dos estoicos (Marco Aurélio, Séneca), mas também da sabedoria oriental (Buda, Confúcio, Lao Tsu) para nos mostrar como conseguir que corpo, mente e alma estejam serenos e imunes às distrações contemporâneas. Através de histórias de figuras como Leonardo da Vinci, o autor guia-nos pelos obstáculos que o nosso próprio ego nos semeia pelo caminho. E oferece-nos o antídoto para sobrevivermos num mundo que se recusa a parar.

Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller Wall Street Journal Bestseller Az akadály maga az út és Az ego az ellenség című bestsellereiben Ryan Holiday az ókori sztoikusok bölcsességét osztotta meg velünk. Sportvezetőket, informatikusokat, politikusok új nemzedékét és persze a hétköznapok emberét segítette praktikus tanácsaival. Az egyensúly a kulcs című, újabb sikerkönyvében a sztoicizmus mellett a buddhista filozófia gondolatkörére támaszkodva vezet rá bennünket: az előrejutásban épp a lelassulás képessége válhat titkos fegyverünkké. Napjainkban el vagyunk halmozva ingerekkel, teendőkkel. Állandó versenyhelyzetben, stresszben és a média információs zajában telnek a hétköznapok. Képesek lehetünk egy helyben maradni, miközben zakatol körülöttük az élet? Hogyan zabolázhatjuk meg a temperamentumunkat, hogy semmi ne zökkentsen ki bennünket, miközben a munkára és a döntésekre összpontosítunk? A mozdulatlanság egy különös állapot, amely nem a cselekvés puszta hiánya, hanem az önuralom előfeltétele. Holiday szerint fontos képesség, melynek birtokában fegyelmezetté és összeszedetté válunk, és mindvégig kontroll alatt tarthatjuk viselkedésünket. A szerző megmutatja az utat, amelyen haladva elsajátíthatjuk ezt a hasznos, ősi bölcsességet. Az emberiség teljes műveltségéből merít a legnagyobb gondolkodókat idézve - Konfuciustól Senecáig, Marcus Aureliustól Thich Nhat Hanhig, John Stuart Milltől Nietzschéig.

"Gracias a su magistral síntesis de la filosofía oriental y occidental, Holiday nos enseña a mantener la concentración en medio de los conflictos y dificultades propios del siglo xxi." Robert Greene, autor de Las leyes de la naturaleza humana y Las 48 leyes del poder Las mentes más lúcidas de la historia han tenido en común algo que les ha permitido controlar sus emociones, evitar las distracciones, descubrir nuevas maneras de mirar el mundo y alcanzar todos sus objetivos. Los pensadores del budismo zen lo llamaron paz interior, una característica esencial para samuráis y monjes por igual. Los estoicos y epicúreos lo bautizaron como ataraxia, un bastión contra las pasiones de la multitud, indispensable para el liderazgo y la búsqueda de la verdad. Ryan Holiday lo llama quietud: la capacidad para mantener la estabilidad mientras el mundo gira, caóticamente, a nuestro alrededor. La quietud es la clave describe un camino para alcanzar ese estado a través del cuerpo, la mente y el espíritu. A partir de la obra de pensadores que van desde Confucio, Marco Aurelio y Séneca hasta John Stuart Mill y Friedrich Nietzsche, Holiday explica que la quietud no es mera inactividad, sino el umbral que nos permite acceder a la maestría, la disciplina y la concentración. Enriquecido con ejemplos contemporáneos de líderes y artistas como Winston Churchill, Ana Frank, Tiger Woods y Marina Abramović, y escrito con su característico lenguaje directo y conciso, este libro confirma el talento de Ryan Holiday para transmitir la sabiduría ancestral de manera accesible y relevante para las nuevas generaciones.

Autor de O ego é seu inimigo revela em novo livro como descobrir o potencial e a paz que existem dentro de você Grandes líderes, pensadores, artistas, atletas e visionários têm uma característica em comum: a capacidade de alcançar a quietude. Cínicos às vezes a confundem com ociosidade e indecisão, mas a verdade é que a quietude é a chave para ter autodomínio, disciplina e foco. É impossível avançar na vida sem ela. A quietude ajuda as pessoas a controlar impulsos, evitar distrações e ter grandes ideias. Sobretudo, permite que encontrem a felicidade e façam a coisa certa. Com base em vários dos maiores pensadores da história — de Confúcio a Sêneca, Marco Aurélio a Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill a Nietzsche —, Holiday nos mostra o que é a quietude e como ela pode ser alcançada. Além disso, apresenta figuras célebres que tiraram dela o maior proveito, como Winston Churchill, que, ao alternar sua agitada vida pública com períodos assentando tijolos e pintando, conseguiu salvar o mundo da aniquilação, e Fred Rogers, que ajudou gerações de crianças a enxergarem o que é invisível aos olhos. Ninguém é imune a crises. Todos estamos sobrecarregados de trabalho e informação e precisamos de ajuda de vez em quando. Com seu estilo acessível, que inspira milhões de leitores a adotarem a filosofia para viver melhor, Ryan Holiday ensina tudo o que você precisa saber para encontrar a valiosa quietude.

Im Laufe der Geschichte hatten große Anführer, Denker, Künstler und Visionäre die Eigenschaft, Launen zu überwinden, Ablenkungen zu vermeiden und das Richtige zu tun. Die Zen-Buddhisten beschrieben es als inneren Frieden und wussten, dass es wichtig war, ob man ein Samurai-Krieger oder ein Mönch ist. Die Stoiker und Epikureer nannten es Ataraxie und glaubten, dass es ein Bollwerk gegen die Leidenschaften des Mobs, eine Voraussetzung für gute Führung und ein Weg zur tiefen Wahrheit sei. Ryan Holiday nennt es Stille – stabil sein, während sich die Welt um einen dreht. In diesem Buch skizziert er einen Weg zu dieser zeitlosen, aber dringend notwendigen Lebensweise. Ausgehend von den größten Denkern der Geschichte, von Konfuzius bis Seneca, von Mark Aurel bis Thích Nhât Hahn, von John Stuart Mill bis Nietzsche, zeigt er, dass Stille nicht nur Untätigkeit ist, sondern das Tor zur Selbstbeherrschung, Disziplin und Konzentration.

Déjouant les plans de carrière des talents les plus prometteurs, menant des fleurons de l''économie à leur perte, l''ego est l''ennemi principal de nos ambitions.

An NPR Book Concierge Best Book of 2018! A Sunday Times of London Pick of the Paperbacks A stunning story about how power works in the modern age--the book the New York Times called "one helluva page-turner" and The Sunday Times of London celebrated as "riveting...an astonishing modern media conspiracy that is a fantastic read." Pick up the book everyone is talking about. In 2007, a short blogpost on Valleywag, the Silicon Valley-vertical of Gawker Media, outed PayPal founder and billionaire investor Peter Thiel as gay. Thiel''s sexuality had been known to close friends and family, but he didn''t consider himself a public figure, and believed the information was private. This post would be the casus belli for a meticulously plotted conspiracy that would end nearly a decade later with a $140 million dollar judgment against Gawker, its bankruptcy and with Nick Denton, Gawker''s CEO and founder, out of a job. Only later would the world learn that Gawker''s demise was not incidental--it had been masterminded by Thiel. For years, Thiel had searched endlessly for a solution to what he''d come to call the "Gawker Problem." When an unmarked envelope delivered an illegally recorded sex tape of Hogan with his best friend''s wife, Gawker had seen the chance for millions of pageviews and to say the things that others were afraid to say. Thiel saw their publication of the tape as the opportunity he was looking for. He would come to pit Hogan against Gawker in a multi-year proxy war through the Florida legal system, while Gawker remained confidently convinced they would prevail as they had over so many other lawsuit--until it was too late. The verdict would stun the world and so would Peter''s ultimate unmasking as the man who had set it all in motion. Why had he done this? How had no one discovered it? What would this mean--for the First Amendment? For privacy? For culture? In Holiday''s masterful telling of this nearly unbelievable conspiracy, informed by interviews with all the key players, this case transcends the narrative of how one billionaire took down a media empire or the current state of the free press. It''s a study in power, strategy, and one of the most wildly ambitious--and successful--secret plots in recent memory. Some will cheer Gawker''s destruction and others will lament it, but after reading these pages--and seeing the access the author was given--no one will deny that there is something ruthless and brilliant about Peter Thiel''s shocking attempt to shake up the world.

De grootse mannen en vrouwen in onze wereld hadden geen buitengewoon geluk of uitzonderlijke talenten en ervaringen. Het enige dat ze deden was leven volgens een enkel principe: ‘Dat wat in de weg staat wordt de weg.’ We geven te snel op. Wat eerst onoverkomelijke obstakels leken kunnen met een simpele verandering unieke kansen worden. Ryan Holiday laat aan de hand van de stoïcijnse filosofie zien dat dat wat je pad blokkeert in werkelijkheid een nieuw en beter pad opent. Als een tegenstander je bedreigt moet je onbevreesd zijn en moed tonen. Een onmogelijkheid deadline is de kans om te laten zien hoe betrokken je bent. De stoïcijnse filosofie – dat wat in de weg staat is de weg – kan toegepast worden op elk probleem. Het is meer dan 2.000 jaar geleden ontdekt en heeft sinds die tijd zijn effectiviteit bewezen op slagvelden en board rooms. Van het vermogen van Barack Obama om tegenslagen te overwinnen tijdens de verkiezingen, tot het ontwerp van de iPhone, dit inzicht maakt mensen onoverwinnelijk.

Las llamamos clásicas. Perennes. De culto. Obras de catálogo. Son las que parecen durar para siempre sin dejar de venderse nunca, que mantienen su vigencia a través de los años y se convierten en referencias ineludibles más allá de los éxitos fugaces y de las trampas de la publicidad. Y todas las personas y empresas creativas aspiran a producirlas y vivir de ellas. Ryan Holiday revela a creadores de toda índole —escritores, empresarios, músicos, cineastas, artistas visuales— cómo se conciben y se lanzan al mercado las obras más duraderas. A partir de entrevistas con expertos, así como del estudio profundo de la imaginación, publicación y comunicación de obras fundamentales en varios géneros (desde los libros de Robert Greene hasta la música de Iron Maiden, pasando por Seinfeld, Matar un ruiseñor y la carrera política de Winston Churchill), Un best seller para toda la vida proporciona herramientas para construir públicos, desarrollar ideas y preparar los mejores planes de negocios.

Die Mona Lisa von Leonardo da Vinci, »Let It Be« von den Beatles, Hamburger von McDonald''s oder das iPhone von Apple. Werke und Produkte, die ihren Urhebern nicht nur unendlichen Ruhm und eine Menge Geld einbrachten, sondern bis heute überall auf der Welt bekannt sind. Doch wie schafft man in Zeiten, in denen das just gehypte Start-up schon nach wenigen Jahren pleitegeht oder Kinofilme nach gerade einmal einem Wochenende schon abgeschrieben werden, überhaupt etwas Bleibendes? New York Times-Bestsellerautor Ryan Holiday hat akribisch die besten Tools, Taktiken und Routinen von erfolgreichen Musikern, Entrepreneuren und Filmemachern gesammelt und analysiert. Die gute Nachricht: Ein neues Kultprodukt zu kreieren muss nicht nur Glück sein. Wie jeder das richtige Mindset erlangt, um sein Produkt – sei es ein Film, ein Buch oder eine Geschäftsidee – zum absoluten Verkaufshit machen kann, enthüllt Holiday in seinem neuen Bestseller.

»Lieber Pierrepont, deine Mutter ist diesen Morgen wohlbehalten zurückgekehrt und möchte, dass ich dir mitteile, dass du darauf achten sollst, nicht zu viel zu studieren. Ich wiederum möchte dir mitteilen, dass du darauf achten sollst, dass du nicht zu wenig studierst ...« Die fiktiven Briefe eines erfolgreichen Kaufmanns von George Horace Lorimer mögen mehr als 100 Jahre alt sein und doch lesen sie sich, als seien sie erst vergangene Woche geschrieben. 20 Briefe – amüsant, immer ehrlich und in höchstem Maße kurzweilig, vermeintlich geschrieben von Old Gorgon Graham, einem Selfmade-Millionär aus Chicago an seinen Sohn, der soeben begonnen hat, in Harvard zu studieren. Wenngleich frei erfunden, enthalten diese Briefe in einem Maße Weisheiten, wie man es heute in keinem Karriere-Ratgeber finden kann. Gerade in der heutigen, sich immer schneller wandelnden Umgebung, bieten sie zeitlose Anregungen zu Weisheit, Selbstbeherrschung sowie Gelassenheit und helfen, in der zunehmenden Komplexität unserer Welt zu bestehen.

Recently, fake news has become real news, making headlines as its consequences become crushingly obvious in political upsets and global turmoil. But it''s not new - you''ve seen it all before. A malicious online rumour costs a company millions. Politically motivated ''fake news'' stories are planted and disseminated to influence elections. Some product or celebrity zooms from total obscurity to viral sensation. Anonymous sources and speculation become national conversation. What you don''t know is that someone is responsible for all this. Usually, someone like Ryan Holiday: a media manipulator.Holiday wrote this book to explain how media manipulators work, how to spot their fingerprints, how to fight them, and how (if you must) to emulate their tactics. Why is he giving away these secrets? Because he''s tired of a world where trolls hijack debates, marketers help write the news, reckless journalists spread lies, and no one is accountable for any of it. He''s pulling back the curtain because it''s time everyone understands how things really work.

Ha rovinato la carriera di giovani geni promettenti. Ha polverizzato grandi fortune e ridotto aziende sul lastrico. Ha reso le avversità insopportabili e trasformato ogni sforzo in umiliazione. Qual è il suo nome? Ego. Il nemico dell''ambizione, del successo, della resilienza. È il nemico interiore dal quale ci mettono in guardia tutti i grandi filosofi, nelle fiabe più antiche e in innumerevoli opere d''arte, in ogni cultura e in ogni epoca. Ryan Holiday ci offre una riflessione pratica sulla natura e i pericoli dell''ego, attingendo a una varietà di esempi tratti dalla letteratura, dalla filosofia e dalla storia, per mostrarci come essere umili nelle aspirazioni, dignitosi nel successo e resilienti nel fallimento, facendo affidamento sulla fiducia in noi stessi piuttosto che sull''ego. Quando si tratta dell''ego, dobbiamo combattere per distruggerlo prima che sia lui a distruggerci.

Es frecuente ver en el entorno los obst�culos para lograr nuestras metas. Sin embargo, hay un poderoso enemigo interior que es en realidad la causa que nos impide avanzar en muchos sentidos: el ego. Al inicio de nuestras carreras, el ego nos impide aprender y desarrollar talentos. Si logramos el �xito, nos ciega al punto de que negamos nuestras propias fallas; y ante el fracaso, el ego magnifica cualquier falla y hace m�s dif�cil recuperarnos. El ego, en cualquier etapa, es la verdadera traba para nuestro crecimiento personal y profesional. De ah� que en este libro Ryan Holiday nos lleve por poderosas lecciones, t�cticas y estrategias de c�mo personalidades de diversas ocupaciones y campos consiguieron aplacar su ego (esa versi�n distorsionada que hab�an creado de s� mismos) como el primer paso para alcanzar niveles m�s altos de autoconocimiento e influencia. En una �poca en la que se privilegia la individualidad y la autopromoci�n, es necesario entender qu� es el ego y c�mo dominarlo antes de que domine nuestras vidas. "A menudo se nos dice que para lograr el �xito, necesitamos confianza. Con una franqueza refrescante, Ryan Holiday desaf�a esa suposici�n, destacando c�mo podemos ganar confianza buscando algo m�s grande que nuestro propio �xito". -Adam Grant, autor de Originales "Este libro nos da una receta: la humildad. Est� lleno de historias y citas que le ayudar�n a salir de su propio camino. Ya sea que est� empezando o comenzando de nuevo, encontrar� algo que sacar de aqu�". -Austin Kleon, autor de Roba como un artista "De una manera inspiradora y pr�ctica, Ryan Holiday nos ense�a c�mo manejar y domesticar nuestro ego, esta bestia insaciable que vive dentro de nosotros para que podamos concentrarnos en lo que realmente importa y producir el mejor trabajo posible". -Robert Greene, autor de Las 48 leyes del poder.

„Egy szó, amely összetörte fiatal géniuszok karrierjét. Egy szó, amely miatt hatalmas vagyonokat pazaroltak el és virágzó vállaltok dőltek romba. Egy szó, amely sok-sok nyomorúságért és szégyenért felel. Ez a szó – az EGO. Az EGO az ellenség! Az alkalmazkodóképesség, az ambíció és a siker ellensége. Mert amikor 160-nal száguldasz egy szabálytalanul előző kocsi után azért, hogy durvaságokat vághass a fejéhez, amikor összeveszel a legjobb barátoddal semmiségeken, amikor nem hívsz fel valakit, akit szeretsz, mert arra vársz, hogy ő hívjon fel – az egód játszik veled. Ryan Holiday világsikerű könyve megmutatja, hogyan ismerheted fel tetteid mögött a saját egódat, amely sokszor arra kényszerít, hogy érdekeid ellen dönts. Ha felismered, az első és legfontosabb lépést már megtetted! Az egódat el kell pusztítanod. Vagy ő pusztít el téged.” Ryan Holiday több világsikerű mű szerzője. Texasban él, a Columbia Egyetemen tanít. Könyvei szerte a világon alapművek lettek, Thaiföldtől az Egyesült Államokig, Vietnámtól Franciaországig.

Ele arruinou a carreira de gênios promissores. Mandou pelos ares grandes fortunas e destruiu empresas. Tornou as adversidades insuportáveis e transformou esforço em vergonha. Seu nome? Ego. O ego é um adversário interno citado por quase todos os grandes filósofos da história, em incontáveis obras de arte, de todas as culturas e todos os tempos. E agora vamos aprender a destruí-lo, antes que ele destrua você. Em O ego é seu inimigo, Holiday apresenta exemplos reais e inspiradores de pessoas comuns que dominaram o ego, chegaram aos mais altos níveis de poder e sucesso e se tornaram lendas — não pela fama, mas pelo trabalho e legado. Ao perceber a influência negativa do ego e combatê-lo, você será capaz de viver melhor e conquistar resultados mais expressivos. As estratégias e táticas desenvolvidas por essas figuras fascinantes vão ajudá-lo a vencer esse inimigo tão poderoso que nos desafia todos os dias. • Ryan Holiday abandonou a faculdade aos 19 anos para ser aprendiz de Robert Greene, autor de As 48 leis do poder. Contratado mais tarde como diretor de marketing da American Apparel, antiga loja americana, foi responsável por campanhas famosas por suas polêmicas. • O autor é fundador da agência Brass Check, que já ofereceu consultoria para grandes companhias, como Google, e também para diversos autores de sucesso, como Tim Ferriss (4 horas para o corpo). • Holiday é autor de vários livros, entre eles O obstáculo é o caminho, traduzido para 17 idiomas e cultuado entre técnicos da liga de futebol americano dos Estados Unidos, atletas de elite, personalidades de TV e líderes políticos. Atualmente vive em um rancho próximo de Austin, Texas, nos Estados Unidos. “Ensina a domesticar a fera dentro de nós e a manter o foco no que importa ― fazer o melhor trabalho possível.”

The book that Inc. says "every entrepreneur should read" and an FT Book of the Month selection... How did the movie The Shawshank Redemption fail at the box office but go on to gross more than $100 million as a cult classic? How did The 48 Laws of Power miss the bestseller lists for more than a decade and still sell more than a million copies? How is Iron Maiden still filling stadiums worldwide without radio or TV exposure forty years after the band was founded? Bestselling author and marketer Ryan Holiday calls such works and artists perennial sellers. How do they endure and thrive while most books, movies, songs, video games, and pieces of art disappear quickly after initial success? How can we create and market creative works that achieve longevity? Holiday explores this mystery by drawing on his extensive experience working with businesses and creators such as Google, American Apparel, and the author John Grisham, as well as his interviews with the minds behind some of the greatest perennial sellers of our time. His fascinating examples include: • Rick Rubin, producer for Adele, Jay-Z, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who teaches his artists to push past short-term thinking and root their work in long-term inspiration. • Tim Ferriss, whose books have sold millions of copies, in part because he rigorously tests every element of his work to see what generates the strongest response. • Seinfeld, which managed to capture both the essence of the nineties and timeless themes to become a modern classic. • Harper Lee, who transformed a muddled manuscript into To Kill a Mockingbird with the help of the right editor and feedback. • Winston Churchill, Stefan Zweig, and Lady Gaga, who each learned the essential tenets of building a platform of loyal, dedicated supporters. Holiday reveals that the key to success for many perennial sellers is that their creators don’t distinguish between the making and the marketing. The product’s purpose and audience are in the creator’s mind from day one. By thinking holistically about the relationship between their audience and their work, creators of all kinds improve the chances that their offerings will stand the test of time.

Het heeft de carrières van jonge, veelbelovende genieën doen stranden. Het heeft fortuinen in rook doen opgaan en bedrijven aan de rand van de afgrond gebracht. Het heeft tegenslag ondraaglijk gemaakt en leren van fouten in schaamte veranderd. Zijn naam? Ego, onze innerlijke tegenstander. In een tijd waarin social media, reality-tv en andere vormen van schaamteloze zelfpromotie worden verheerlijkt, moet de strijd tegen ego op vele fronten worden gestreden. Maar gewapend met de lessen uit dit boek zul je, zoals Holiday schrijft, ‘minder bezig zijn met het vertellen van verhalen over hoe bijzonder jij bent en daardoor vrijer zijn om jouw wereldveranderende doelen te bereiken.’

Wie findet man das wahre Glück? Wie lässt sich Erfolg wirklich bemessen? Und wie geht man mit den Herausforderungen des Alltags wie Wut, Trauer und der Frage nach dem Sinn des Ganzen um? Was große Geister wie George Washington, Friedrich der Große, Weltklassesportler oder Top-Performer längst für sich entdeckt haben, liegt mit »Der tägliche Stoiker« erstmals gesammelt vor. New York Times-Bestsellerautor Ryan Holiday und Stephen Hanselman haben das Wissen der Stoiker in 366 zeitlose Lektionen verpackt und zeigen, dass die Philosophie des Stoizismus nicht nur zeitlos, sondern gerade für unsere hektische und unsichere Zeit ein Segen ist. Weisheit, Mut, Gerechtigkeitssinn und Selbstbeherrschung sowie Gelassenheit lassen sich erlernen und helfen uns, in der zunehmenden Komplexität unserer Welt zu bestehen. Die uralten Weisheiten der Stoiker, gesammelt und kommentiert, unterstützen bei diesen alltäglichen Herausforderungen.

Autor ve své zatím nejlepší knize rozebírá ego, které je nepřítelem všeho, co opravdu chceme dokázat. Snaží se pomoci potlačit ego dřív, než nás zlozvyky z něj plynoucí svedou na scestí, a ukazuje, jak různá úroveň přebujelosti ega ovlivňuje úspěch člověka a jeho schopnost prosadit se. Člověk má sklon se přeceňovat a zveličovat své ambice ... o to bolestnější pak bývají jeho pády. Kniha poskytuje návod, jak postupovat, aby ego nebránilo člověku v jeho rozvoji a dovedlo ho na cestu pokory a vnitřní disciplíny.

The instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and international bestseller “While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force, I’ve found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition.” —from the prologue Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back. Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to hisu00adtory. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by conu00adquering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well. In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you’ve set out to achieve.”

Traditional Chinese edition of Growth Hacker Marketing: A Primer on the Future of PR, Marketing, and Advertising. This book helps marketers bringing their marketing into the 21st century paradigm with real strategies and tactics.

Vous avez déjà vu ça des centaines de fois. Une rumeur insidieuse circule sur Internet et finit par coûter des millions à une entreprise. Un incident politique fait dérailler le cycle des infos nationales et démolit la carrière d''un candidat. Un produit ou une pseudo-célébrité passe de l''obscurité la plus totale au statut de phénomène viral. Ce que vous ignorez, c''est que certaines personnes se cachent derrière tout ça. Généralement, ce sont des gens comme moi. Je suis un manipulateur des médias. Dans un monde où les blogs dominent et déforment l''information, mon travail consiste à contrôler ces plateformes. Dans la mesure du possible... Pourquoi ai-je choisi de dévoiler ces secrets ? Parce que j''en ai assez de ce monde où les blogs touchent indirectement des pots-de-vin, où ceux qui ont quelque chose à vendre sont les même qui rédigent les informations, où des journalistes inconscients répandent des mensonges, sans que personne ne soit tenu responsable de ces méfaits. J''ai l''intention de vous expliquer comment fonctionne réellement l''appareil médiatique. A vous de voir ce que vous ferez de ces renseignements.

A primer on the future of PR, marketing and advertising — now revised and updated with new case studies "Forget everything you thought you knew about marketing and read this book.

Bestselling author Ryan Holiday, the acclaimed marketing guru for many successful brands, authors, and musicians, explains the new rules in a book that has become a marketing classic in Silicon Valley and around the world. This new edition is updated with cutting-edge case studies of startups, brands, and small businesses.

#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller 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. Its many fans include a former governor and movie star (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a hip hop icon (LL Cool J), an Irish tennis pro (James McGee), an NBC sportscaster (Michele Tafoya), and the coaches and players of winning teams like the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Cubs, and University of Texas men’s basketball team. 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.
