Ryan Holiday mentioned The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz by Mordecai Richler 2 times

Ooh The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. This was actually recommended to me by Dov Charney [...] wonderful fascinating novel that everyone should read.

— Ryan Holiday

It's about ambition and hustle and the desire to make something of oneself...and how easily these traits can turn sour and toxic. Dov Charney actually turned me on to this book. He always called himself a modern day Duddy Kravitz--he meant that in a good way, that Duddy was a hustler who created nothing from something. I don't think he made it all the way to the end of the book or the movie because the ending was some poetic justice.
