2 Years Of Writing A Book In 30 Minutes

The Step by step process of publishing a book with Penguin.
In his New York Times best-selling book Courage is Calling, author Ryan Holiday introduced the Stoic Virtues with the first virtue: courage. In this much-anticipated second book of the series, Holiday explores the importance of self-discipline, the next Stoic virtue.
This video documents Ryan's process of researching, writing, editing, and publishing his newest book "Discipline Is Destiny."
"I wrote this book because we are all capable of great things, we are all born to fulfill a great destiny. Not everyone's destiny is the same, but everyone's destiny is achieved with self-discipline and control. I hope you fulfill yours." - Ryan Holiday

    This was the best book I have ever read and I have read all of Holiday’s books and many he suggests! It is amazing after reading to be able to see the process of it being written. As Holiday continues to bring Stoicism ‘into the arena’ as he says leading to part 3, he will put himself on the Mount Rushmore of Stoics by sharing this philosophy when the world has needed it most in all of history.
