Ryan Holiday is one of the most influential modern voices bridging ancient philosophy and contemporary challenges. A bestselling author whose books have sold over 10 million copies and spent more than 200 weeks on bestseller lists, Ryan has made Stoicism accessible and actionable for a new generation. His works—The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, Stillness Is the Key, and Discipline Is Destiny—are studied by Super Bowl-winning coaches, Olympic gold medalists, Fortune 500 leaders, and military commanders alike.
With a background in media and marketing, Ryan first gained national attention with Trust Me, I’m Lying, a provocative exposé of the modern media landscape. Today, he writes and speaks on how timeless philosophical principles can help us overcome adversity, lead with clarity, and live more meaningful lives. Based in Austin, Texas, Ryan lives with his family on a small ranch, where he writes in between raising donkeys, goats, and cattle.
