Stillness Is the Key

Stillness Is the Key is a self-help book that was written by Ryan Holiday, published in 2019 by Portfolio Books. In this book, the author explores the importance of stillness in our everyday lives, and how being still can help us achieve our goals, find inner peace, and deal with the chaos and distractions of the modern world.

The book contains practical insights and meditations from philosophy, religion, and history. Holiday uses examples from the lives of historical figures such as Confucius, John F. Kennedy, and Winston Churchill, to illustrate the benefits of stillness.

Holiday argues that stillness allows us to be more present in our lives, to listen more attentively, and to make better decisions. He claims that by being still and focused, we can overcome fear and anxiety, cultivate creativity and innovation, and lead more meaningful lives.
