I recently finished reading “The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed” by Jessica Lahey. As soon as I finished the introduction, I knew this book and I were going to be a good fit.

I learned about “The Obstacle is the Way” through podcast interviews with the author, Ryan Holiday. After listening to interviews… Read more »

I think the clinical look of the cover made me think it was going to be boring and perhaps over my head.
