Stillness is the Key

Book • 2019
In 'Stillness is the Key', Ryan Holiday explores the concept of inner stillness as a universal principle across different philosophical and religious traditions, including Stoicism, Buddhism, Epicureanism, and more.

The book is divided into three sections: stillness of the mind, stillness of the spirit, and stillness of the body.

Holiday argues that cultivating stillness allows for better decision-making, increased focus, and a more fulfilling life.

He uses anecdotes from historical figures and contemporary examples to illustrate the importance of moderation, patience, and self-awareness in achieving this state of stillness.
