In 100 Words or Less: Conflict is inevitable; a common thread woven into the human experience. We may not always choose our trials, but we can always choose how we respond to them. This book finds its roots in Stoicism and the writings of Marcus Aurelius, sources I have little familiarity with (although there are commonalities with Buddhism as well). Ryan suggests that we can actually receive obstacles as an opportunity to grow and improve, depending upon how we choose to perceive them. The Obstacle is the Way offers a lot of inspirational truth which may benefit anyone in their time of need.
