Right Thing, Right Now: Justice in an Unjust World by Ryan Holiday is out in July from Jonathan Ball Publishers.

‘A clear and inspiring guide for how to develop this highest of human virtues.’ – Robert Greene

If we do what is right, everything else will follow: happiness, success, meaning, reputation, love. This is central to Stoic wisdom. The path isn’t always easy, but it is essential, and the alternative – taking the easy route – leads only to cowardice and folly.

In the third book in his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday explores the crucial role that integrity plays in every good life. From pillars of upright living like Ulysses S Grant and Marcus Aurelius, to the cautionary tales of Napoleon and F Scott Fitzgerald, this book shows us the power of owning our convictions and acting in accordance with our beliefs – and the perils of an ill-formed conscience.

​Our conscience, our sense of justice, is our first and our last strength: we can train it, hone it and fortify it, but above all, we must never lose it. This book shows us how.
