Stillness Is The Key by Ryan Holiday

MIND | SPIRIT | BODY

“Stillness as Ryan Holiday puts it is the river and the railroad junction through which so much depends. It is the key . . .

To thinking clearly. To seeing the whole chessboard. To making tough decisions. To managing our emotions. To identifying the right goals. To handling high-pressure situations. To maintaining relationships. To building good habits. To being productive. To physical excellence. To feeling fulfilled.

I highly recommend reading this book as well as the rest of Ryan Holiday’s work.

The Dichotomy of Leadership: Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

  • A leader must be aggressive but not overbearing.
  • A leader must be calm but not robotic.
  • A leader must be confident but never cocky.
  • A leader must be brave but not foolhardy.
  • A leader must be humble but not passive; quiet but not silent.
  • A leader must be attentive to details but not obsessed with them.
  • A leader must be close with subordinates but not too close.
