The Corner Office

‘Follow these precepts and you will revolutionise your life.’ Steven Pressfield, author of the War of Art

The great men and women of this world didn’t have exceptional luck, talent or experience. All they did was live by a single maxim: ‘what stands in the way becomes the way’

The philosophy built around this simple principle was invented more than 2,000 years ago and has been proven in battles and boardrooms ever since. In THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY, internationally renowned marketing guru and bestselling authors Ryan holiday reframes this forgotten formula for success in today’s world and reveals how:

• John D. Rockefeller saw opportunity in adversity and got rich in a recession
• Gandhi played to his weaknesses and turned the British empire’s military might against it
• Steve Jobs made the impossible possible

Manage your perception. Recognize when you can change things, direct your actions, and learn to turn every obstacle to your advantage.

If you’ve ever been frustrated by a boss who wouldn’t lead, you’re not alone. And here’s the good news: you don’t have to let it hold you back.

Drawing on twenty five years of teaching and consulting, the author of the bestselling the 7 habits of highly effective people invites people to Centre their lives and leadership around such timeless principles as fairness, equity, justice and integrity that constitute the roots of every family and institution that has ever prospered.
