SIGNED COPIES EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH THE DAILY STOIC
In this much-anticipated final installment in the Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday makes the case for the virtue on which all other virtues depend.
Of all the Stoic virtues—courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom—wisdom is the most elusive. And in today's world of instant reactions and constant chatter, true wisdom through restraint and thoughtfulness has become even rarer.
But in Wisdom Takes Work, Ryan Holiday demonstrates how you can cultivate wisdom through reading, self-education, personal experience, and more. Drawing on the lives of great thinkers like Montaigne, Seneca, Lincoln, and Joan Didion, he shows us how to listen more than we talk, think with nuance, and ruthlessly question our own beliefs.
This timely book both identifies our current crisis of wisdom and charts a path forward. Holiday’s message is clear—wisdom may take work, but it's worth to your life is priceless.

A Word From The Author
"We all want to be wise. But wisdom is not something you’re born with or something you stumble into. It’s hard-earned. I wrote this book because wisdom—true wisdom—is the commitment of a lifetime. It is a battle to be won over ego, over ignorance, over the self. It takes study, it takes reflection, it takes experience. Most of all, it takes work. I hope you’ll do that work with me."
-Ryan Holiday
