Wisdom Takes Work
by Ryan Holiday
Wisdom Takes Work closes out Ryan Holiday's Stoic Virtues series, arguing that wisdom, not courage or discipline, is the load-bearing virtue most people never build the hard way. It's a fitting capstone to a philosophy and self-help project grounded in Stoicism, even when its modern examples repeat themselves.
