'Stillness is the Key' is the culmination of @Ryan Holiday's trilogy which began with @The Obstacle Is The Way and @Ego Is The Enemy.

To Holiday, stillness is one of the most powerful forces on earth. And its opposite—the frenetic, muddled, overwhelmed way we too often choose to exist in today’s world—is one of the most dangerous. Five centuries ago, Blaise Pascal said that all of man’s problems stem from our inability to sit quietly in a room alone. << just finished reading this with @Chantle Edillor and @John Zdanowski notes coming soon >>
