In Holiday’s previous book, ‘Obstacles the Way’ I discovered Holiday’s deep interest in the lessons that can be learnt from Stoic philosophy. Luckily, I have come across the excellent author, Ryan Holiday. I am very mindful that I don’t allow my focus to lead me to be self-absorbed and egocentric. However, I don’t want my confidence to turn into arrogance. As an artist, at times I can get overly focused on my work, like most people who enjoy what they do. When I come across people like this, they always rub me up the wrong way. People who seek the attainment of superiority and ascendancy above making a real difference to others in this world. People with massive high opinions of themselves. We have all come across people who appear cocky and arrogant.
