Samuel Afemikhe, author of ‘Hope Rekindled’ thoroughly enjoyed reading Ryan Holiday’s ‘The Obstacle is the Way’, the ancient art of turning adversity to challenge.

“This is the timeless art of controlling emotions and turning trials into triumph. It says that the impediment to action advances action, what stands in the way becomes the way. Nigerians need to take this to heart. The solution to our challenges is embedded in the challenges themselves,” Afemikhe says.

Holiday dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling ‘modern Machiavelli’ Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands. The book is described as one that draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better.
