Philosophy is about facing our mortality. It might sound dark, but by truly understanding that our moments are passing and our time is limited we can learn to appreciate things around us more. Thank you for the video!

For me, Stoicism is about facing the fact that life can be crappy, but building myself up so I can withstand it.

[CityLover]

Damn I almost cried at the intro. “The world is so much better with you being in it”

[vbzkyxf]

Everytime I read The Stoics I never got a dark pessimistic vibe but a very pragmatic compassionate one.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Love this type of video, slower and no music makes it easier to focus on the information

The world is better with you in it. Stoicism isn't about pessimism but resilience. Marcus Aurelius faced immense hardships yet advocated for fulfilling our duties as humans with kindness and humility. True happiness comes from inner virtue, not external pleasures. Embrace the challenges, focus on being a good person, and remember your worth and impact on the world.

I've helped multiple people through suicidal depression, and it has brought me down along the path. This channel promoting stoic philosophy has helped me tremendously. Thank you Ryan for all you do.

I don't concern myself with getting _over_ depression anymore. It's now all about getting _through_ it. The way I do that is by taking the pain and emotional trauma and using it to do constructive things. Take on a new project. Learn a new skill. Minimize your idle time by filling it with tasks and goals. Do *anything* but lie in bed and sulk!

Never stop Ryan, you changed my life and now i hope i can change others! I used to be a depressed mess of a man, now i strive to be better just because you introduced me to stoic philosophy.

Whoever is reading this, I pray for you: a heart free of sorrow, a mind free of worries, a life filled with joy, an abundant source of financial wealth, a body free of disease disability and a day filled with God's blessings

Stoicism is a great perspective. Helps in many situations. Thanks, Ryan :)

I've informally studied different types of philosophy for the last 20 odd years and being bipolar this has helped in my recovery of self and appreciation of world around.
Cheers to you and the rise of philosophy, thankyou Ryan.

Thanks for your brilliant Stoic wisdom, Ryan! I really like hearing your speak about Stoicism because you're so articulate, eloquent, and clear-thinking about the topic!

"Concentrate on what you have to do, fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being, remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it, but with kindness, with humility, without hypocrisy."

I've dealt with depression my whole life. I've 'overcome' it in the sense that it doesn't control my every single day anymore, and this video is honestly the best way I've seen it put on how to cope with depression. And I've seen my fair share of "how to beat/overcome depression" videos and articles. So thank you!

[Missa_and_Catula]

I have especially appreciated your newsletter and thoughts lately. They really help keep me going in today's crazy world.

[TheStoicEssence]

Philosophy confronts our mortality. While it may seem somber, recognizing the fleeting nature of our moments and the finite span of our lives allows us to more deeply appreciate the world around us.

[vossi]

Watching this video - it`s great! - I was thinking like "What would be the world looking like if everybody was a stoic?". Just an interesting thought...

[likesgood]
