  • Growth Hacker Marketing: A Primer on the Future of PR, Marketing, and Advertising

    Your new business went online yesterday and you’ve got a marketing budget of zero. How are you supposed to create a movement around your product? how can you get to your first thousand – or million – customers? starting from zero, it feels impossible. Enter the growth hacker. You may not have heard of growth hacking yet, but you’ve certainly used the billion dollar brands built by it: hotmail, airbnb, facebook, dropbox, amongst many others.

     

    Growth hackers thrive on doing what traditional businessmen would consider impossible: creating something from nothing. They ‘hack’ their company’s growth to create a narrative of sensational success, turning excited media, users and social media into a viral marketing force that will help their business grow exponentially.

     

    In this e-special, bestselling author Ryan Holiday shows how the marketing game has changed forever. He explains the growth hacker mindset and provides a new set of rules—critical information whether you’re an aspiring marketer, an entrepreneur, or a Fortune 500 senior executive.

  • Stillness Is the Key (The Way, The Enemy, and The Key #3)

    In The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday made ancient wisdom wildly popular with a new generation of leaders in sports, politics, and technology. In his new book, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead.

     

    All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness–to be steady while the world spins around you.

     

    In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this ancient, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history’s greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus.
