It was discussed as the first in a series about cardinal values, focusing on courage and how to overcome fear, with examples and stories of historical figures.
"
Courage Is Calling: Fortune Favors The Brave, is a New York Times bestseller too.
This is from the book, Courageous Calling with Ryan Holiday. Tell yourself, it's just money. It's just a bad article. It's just a meeting with people yelling at one another. Is that something you need to be afraid of? Break it down. Really look at the facts, investigate.
If courage is never required in your life, you are living a boring life.
Our fear points us like a self-indicating arrow in the direction of the right thing to do. One part of us knows what we ought to do, but the other part reminds us of the inevitable consequences. Fear alerts us to danger, but also to opportunity.
They heal, they grow for themselves and for others.
The book was repeatedly highlighted as the opening volume of Ryan Holiday’s Stoic virtues series, with the host and guests citing its lessons on courage, preparation, and heroic examples from history. Holiday and other contributors promoted it as a New York Times bestseller, offering signed copies and pre‑order bonuses while urging listeners to apply its Stoic principles. The discussion emphasized how the title framed courage as a practical skill for confronting fear and making bold choices, and it was presented as a valuable resource for the audience.

Episode: Remind Yourself Who is in Charge
The podcast host discussed John McCain's maverick political stances as an example of courage, suggesting that McCain's actions were informed by his experiences and possibly by indirect exposure to Stoicism. The book explores the concept of building courage as a skill through daily practice.
"
Does a chapter in Courage is calling about John McCain, sort of his habit of being the maverick, taking the unpopular political stance and sort of final act of his political career was precisely that.
And he trained for it and he worked for it. And I would imagine a little bit of stockdale rubbed off on him there in the Hanoi Hilton and therefore indirectly some stoicism.
But I think the idea of Courage, the idea of doing something that scares you is that you build it up as a resource as a muscle so that you can act on it when it really, really counts.
That's what the book is about.
I'd love for you to support the new book.

"
And that's what so inspired me to write this new book courage is calling Fortune favors the bold, is that again the stokes weren't academic philosophers but courageous soldiers and artists and politicians and business people even going back to Xeno, right?
And when we say fortune favors the bold, what we mean is that fortune can't break you. If you keep going, if you decide not to be broken, you're essentially unstoppable.
Awesome stories about everyone from Florence Nightingale, the Charles Tagall, Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr.
The founders talk about this and I quoted it to be one of the early chapters in courage is calling, you know, they knew they could be signing their death warrant as they signed the Declaration of Independence. And they did it anyway.
Courage is the most important force in the world. That's what the new book is about obviously that's what the Stoics knew a person with courage can't be touched can't be broken if they can make you do it, you've forgotten how to die that that's that's the ultimate form of this Stoic courage is you can break my body you can take my stuff but you can't get me to accept what isn't right.
