General Note
Título original: Stillness is the Key
Description
In his new book, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead. All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness--to be steady while the world spins around you. In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this ancient, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus. Holiday also examines figures who exemplified the power of stillness: baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose study of Zen made him the greatest home run hitter of all time; Winston Churchill, who in balancing his busy public life with time spent laying bricks and painting at his Chartwell estate managed to save the world from annihilation in the process; Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity. More than ever, people are overwhelmed. They face obstacles and egos and competition. Stillness Is the Key offers a simple but inspiring antidote to the stress of 24/7 news and social media. The stillness that we all seek is the path to meaning, contentment, and excellence in a world that needs more of it than ever.
Description
En su nuevo libro, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday se basa en la filosof̕a estoica y budista atemporal para mostrar por qǔ reducir la velocidad es el arma secreta para quienes se adelantan. Todos los grandes l̕deres, pensadores, artistas, atletas y visionarios comparten una cualidad indeleble. Les permite conquistar su temperamento. Para evitar distracciones y descubrir grandes conocimientos. Para lograr la felicidad y hacer lo correcto. Ryan Holiday lo llama quietud: estar firme mientras el mundo gira a tu alrededor. En este libro, esboza un camino para lograr esta forma de vida antigua, pero urgentemente necesaria. Bas̀ndose en una amplia gama de los m̀s grandes pensadores de la historia, desde Confucio a Šneca, Marco Aurelio a Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill a Nietzsche, sostiene que la quietud no es mera inactividad, sino la puerta al autodominio, la disciplina y la concentraci̤n. Holiday tambǐn examina figuras que ejemplificaron el poder de la quietud: el jugador de b̌isbol Sadaharu Oh, cuyo estudio del Zen lo convirti̤ en el mejor bateador de jonrones de todos los tiempos; Winston Churchill, quien, al equilibrar su ajetreada vida p͠blica con el tiempo que pas̤ colocando ladrillos y pintando en su propiedad de Chartwell, logr̤ salvar al mundo de la aniquilaci̤n en el proceso; Fred Rogers, quien ensę̤ a generaciones de nįos a ver lo que era invisible a los ojos; Ana Frank, cuyo diario y amor por la naturaleza la guiaron a trav̌s de una adversidad inimaginable. M̀s que nunca, la gente est̀ abrumada. Se enfrentan a obst̀culos, egos y competencia. Stillness Is the Key ofrece un ant̕doto simple pero inspirador contra el estřs de las noticias y las redes sociales las 24 horas del d̕a, los 7 d̕as de la semana. La quietud que todos buscamos es el camino hacia el significado, la satisfacci̤n y la excelencia en un mundo que lo necesita m̀s que nunca.
