The Serenity Prayer in Action โ
May 21, 2020 – His reading tells him: He has a choice to make. He can be the man he is or, as Aurelius writes, the man he should be. He quits his job. He writes a self-immolating memoir about the Wild West of digital marketing, โTrust Me: Iโm Lying,โ which shocks everyone and becomes a bestseller. He moves from New Orleans to New York to a farm outside Austin, Texas, and along the way tells his publisher his follow-up will not be scandalous. It wonโt even be a business book. Itโll be about Stoicism.
Itโll show how Stoic thinking can improve modern lives. His publisher says the book wonโt sell well, but Holiday believes heโs far from the only person who yearns for ancient wisdom. He takes the bookโs title from a phrase on a Post-it note on the Riverside kitchen wall: โThe Obstacle Is The Way.โ
