Ryan Holiday’s non-fiction catalog covers several subjects. His early books, including Trust Me, I’m Lying (2012) and Growth Hacker Marketing (2013), focused on media and marketing. He then shifted to Stoic philosophy with The Obstacle Is the Way (2014) and Ego Is the Enemy (2016), which became his biggest sellers.
His later non-fiction includes Conspiracy (2018), a deep investigation of Peter Thiel’s secret lawsuit against Gawker, and The Daily Dad (2023), which applies his philosophical thinking to parenting. Holiday has also co-authored books on related subjects.
