Stoic doesn't control what happens, they focus on how they respond to what happens: Ryan Holiday

Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic host and ‘Right Thing, Right Now’ author, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the ancient Greek philosophy of stoicism, how it applies to modern life, and more.

You can't prescribe stoicism, it's a way of being.

The interviewer is pretty annoying in this one, and the whole atmosphere of the interview is sort of a patronizing one to Ryan Holiday. The man has a solid philosophy and speaks a lot of sense, it's much more than just having "a positive attitude" or "meditating with your eyes closed". It's deeper than that and it's a shame they didn't take him seriously in this interview.

I think it's hilarious that Ryan Holiday is talking to THESE PEOPLE about stoicism.

[mikesofamerica]

it must be a valid thing if the C Suite gang is on it...right?

[jessewallaceable]

This is so bad. What you do is you read Marcus Aurelius’ meditations. You don’t buy this guy’s book.

[yasirshafi]

Odd place for a stoic to come to. A place where money and power rule vs truth and justice. Perhaps this stoic is himself looking for money and power.

So now you don't have to be qualified to be on tv. Just have a podcast.

[Alpharizzchad]

This dude needs to talk to anyone who was in the military.

Don't buy the book of thi guy, Mess up the teachings, read the philosophical books directly, it's better for your brain.Ryan want make a lot of money, no matter the danger of his rambling speechs.

[worthybanks]

False. (He's lost trying to justify what happened of what he don't know.)

[kevnev]
