Why people recommend it
Courage by Bernard Waber is a children's book that explores the many different ways people demonstrate courage in their everyday lives. On an episode of The Daily Stoic titled "Rich Roll's Secret To Momentum" released on December 9, 2024, the host reflected on the contents of the book, noting that in retrospect, some of the elements found within its pages might have alternatively fit well into a book focused on discipline, justice, or wisdom. Later, during an episode titled "Steven Pressfield on Overcoming Resistance and the Value of Discipline" on October 6, 2022, guest Steven Pressfield discussed his own writing process. He recalled that while he was actively working on his own book titled Courage, he experienced a heightened sense of focus and felt significantly more locked in on the writing project than at other times. Both discussions highlight the personal and creative impact that the theme of courage holds for writers and thinkers as they examine the structure of virtues and the intense dedication required to bring such creative works to completion across various stages of their professional literary journeys.
