Summary of The Obstacle Is the Way - The Timeless Art of  Turning Trials into Triumph - A Comprehensive Summary

PART ONE – PERCEPTION
1. THE DISCIPLINE OF PERCEPTION
The first part of the book is about perception and the first chapter of the book teaches what the discipline of perception is. Perception can be defined as things that we see and understand that happen around us.
Our perception can make us stronger or weaker. Being subjective, emotional, and shortsighted will only increase our problem. In order to learn how not to be overwhelmed by the world around us, we need to learn how to control our passions and minimize their influence over our lives. For this, we need self-control and discipline.
Even though other people around us may be excited, overly optimistic and afraid, we need to remain calm and realistic and keep both feet on the ground. We need to learn how to see things clearly, objectively and purely as they are.
When it comes to discipline, the author states that we can always choose how to react when dangers come in our lives. Either we can filter what we feel or we can let our feelings and instincts overwhelm us. Discipline of perception will allow us to see things clearly. It will give us an advantage that we can use in every situation at hand.
