Right Thing, Right Now isn't an official book by Ryan Holiday. Still, the phrase encapsulates themes he often explores in his writing—especially about Stoicism, discipline and the pursuit of excellence. Holiday's works, such as The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, Stillness Is the Key, and his Virtues series (Courage Is Calling and Discipline Is Destiny), all revolve around the idea of making intentional, purposeful decisions in the present moment.

If Holiday were to write a book titled Right Thing, Right Now, it might likely center on the idea of focusing on the present and choosing the best action in any given moment, embodying Stoic principles like:

1. Practical Wisdom: Making rational, value-driven decisions in real-time based on what aligns with our highest virtues and long-term goals.

2. Mindfulness and Presence: The importance of focusing entirely on the current moment, acting with purpose and clarity, and not being swayed by ego, distraction, or fear of failure.

3. Immediate Action and Accountability: Taking action on what we can control without delay and holding ourselves accountable for those actions. This aligns with Holiday’s teachings on courage, discipline, and the necessity of small, deliberate steps toward more significant goals.

Holiday’s style encourages readers to live intentionally, focusing on taking the “right” action in the “right” moment—an approach supporting growth, resilience and aligning with one’s values. This hypothetical book would likely draw from historical figures, Stoic philosophers, and contemporary examples of people who live with intentionality and purpose.
