La llamada del coraje

Nothing is possible without the virtue of courage. From the ancient Spartans to the Civil Rights Movement; from pioneering scientists to innovative entrepreneurs; From Charles de Gaulle to Florence Nightingale, great leaders have gone down in history for the risks they dared to take. However, today there are many of us who are paralyzed by fear. In this first book in a new series on the Cardinal Virtues of Stoicism, Ryan Holiday teaches us why courage is so important and how to cultivate it in everyday life. Drawing from the actions of those who have answered destiny's call, Holiday shows us how we can step forward even when others step back. Because having courage is much more than throwing yourself into combat. Having courage is doing the right thing, facing conventions and defending one's beliefs; it is creativity, generosity and perseverance. And it is the only way to live a full, extraordinary and effective life. Everything in life begins with courage. And this book will give you the courage to take the first step, to answer the call.
