About this listen
An inspiring anthem to the power, promise and challenges of self-control, the second in a series examining the timeless Stoic virtues from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ryan Holiday.
The inscription on the Oracle of Delphi says: 'Nothing in excess.' C.S. Lewis described temperance as going to the 'right length but no further.' Easy to say, hard to practice—and if it was tough in 300 BCE, or in the 1940s, it feels all but impossible today. Yet it's the most empowering and important virtue any of us can learn.
Drawing on ancient Stoic wisdom and examples across history and around the world, Ryan Holiday shows why self-control is so vital, and how to cultivate it in our own lives. Moderation is not about abstinence: it is about creativity, self-respect, focus and balance. Without it, even the most positive traits become vices. But with it, happiness and success are assured: it is the only way to live an extraordinary, fulfilled and effective life.

Good stuff
Very helpful to listen to whilst working out, parenting, doing housework, travelling etc…
A guide to live by, Ryan’s deep immersion into the world of stoicism is apparent and brilliant.

I absolutely love it.
A while ago I listened to Ryan Holiday's 'Ego is the Enemy' and I was immediately hooked. Besides his books, I am a big fan of The Daily Stoic newsletter and podcast. This book is highly recommended and I enjoy every chapter. I think it's downright brilliant.

A weaving of biographies
I love that Ryan reads his own work for the audiobooks. This is another excellent book full of wisdom. It’s just as good if not better than “the obstacle is the way” which is also fantastic. Full of vibrant biographical snippets of some of history’s notable characters. A wonderfully clear picture of why we should all strive to master self discipline and forgive ourselves when we slip up, then get right back to it. Highly recommend.
