Omar Zenhom recommends Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle Is the Way as essential 2025 reading. The book taught him stoicism and changed how he handles business problems: expect obstacles and plan for them instead of being blindsided.
The fifth book I recommend you read in 2025 is from one of my favorite authors, Ryan Holiday. The Obstacle is the Way. Wow. This book is so powerful in so many ways. This book introduced me into the idea of stoicism and completely shifted how I approach challenges. You might notice a theme here. There's going to be challenges in business. The key here is to be ready for those challenges, is to be not frustrated by them, but understanding that this is going to happen. You're expecting them, and you have a game plan.
