Grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference!

Remarkably little has actually changed about humans themselves in the last 5000 years. Evolutionarily speaking we're basically the same as back then. Same needs and desires, only the environment has changed a lot. Those old methods still work just as good as back then!

When he spoke about Nutshell, Layne Staley's voice rang in my ears. I've loved those lines for so many years!

I can respect and understand the fact the stoics always remind us to show gratitude to life and to always stay positive. This is a perfect guide for any decent functioning human being. But how could the people who are completely paralyzed, have chronic ailments, or are suffering with irreversible damage possibly be thankful?
Just a few years ago I got hit with depersonalization and it has never gone away. I had significant brain damage on that day. Doctors can't even point out how this happened or how to treat it. Im struggling to type out this paragraph and get my message across clearly right now. My whole body is numb. I literally cannot feel anymore, physically or mentally. Every single day. My body/corpse is present but I died a long time ago. occasionally I'll get the severe panic attack or stroke and at that point I really become paralyzed from the neck down. I know I could die at any time the next time it arises again. I go thru torture every single day because I cannot function in daily life. All due to some freak accident which occured internally that I had no control over I could just curl up in bed and lay down and rot forever..

Got your book the other day. It's on my "to be read" shortlist. I always learn something from the Stoics, and their teachings have helped me avoid disaster more than once since I started studying it. Thank you for keeping the philosophy alive!

[heavymeddle]

Love your videos. Learned a lot. Probably more than anything else in a long time. Thanks 😊

Ryan Holiday is really good to bring stoicism to the minds of people who would otherwise not know about these great men. I just finished reading his new book, absolutely brilliant!

I don't know much about philosophy, but stoicism and existentialism (to a lesser extent) have appealed to me the most. Seneca's writings seem pertinent to the modern world.
This is a great video. Courage, justice, temperance, wisdom. Value virtue. I think stoicism might be the best philosophy. Before I knew stoicism, I remember reading some Plato and his writings on virtue stuck with me. Subbed.

Ryan Holiday, your book Daily Stoic as in somewhere represent the Bible to me. I digest the lessons from your books and I really admire your masterpieces. I see your art of a guide of the thug life in Africa or the world as a whole. Your work is the marijuana I smoke daily and get addicted to.

Ryan, TY. Loooove it! it's easier for me to take notes when you number them 1-7.

Ego is the Enemy is still on repeat on audible for me and about to download your new one. Thanks for all you do :)

[attilaok]

I saw this video at 10 pm last night...and by 11am this morning I have the book in my hand:-) Thank you, and cannot wait to start...

[willcravens]

Well done! I try to live by the virtues of truth and understanding and sobriety every day! It can be difficult, but remaining present helps! Progress, not perfection is a principle to live by for me! 😊🤘🏻

[johnroman]

Just got my copy today ... gone through the Intro 👌🏻...

Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel so much better. One question, how do you pick your mentor. I have never felt like I met a man or woman who I feel can help me. How do you know that you have your mentor in front of you. What should you feel? And how can you know that mentor has more to give than any other man or woman?

[ra.dawkins]

This is the best ever, epictitus is the best in my opinion alongside the Emperor Marcus.
