Rob discusses the book "Courage is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave" by author Ryan Holiday, highlighting the key findings and lessons from the book, which align with the philosophies discussed on the podcast. Rob emphasises that courage is not just physical, but also moral, and explores the importance of facing fear, taking small steps towards bravery, and standing up for what you believe in.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Courage is a key virtue that encompasses both physical and moral bravery. It involves taking small steps and practicing bravery in everyday life. Fear is a normal part of the courageous journey. It is the first step in recognising that you are on the right path and being challenged. Courage is about answering the call and being committed to noble ideals. It requires standing up for what you believe in and speaking truth to power. The heroic journey involves selflessness and transcending personal desires. It may involve periods of depression and facing challenges alone, but it is necessary for growth and defining oneself as a hero. Heroism is about making choices and following one's ethical line. It is not just about one monumental choice, but a series of choices that shape one's character and contribute to a heroic path.
