Living Like A Stoic For 30 Days

The Stoics focused on doing the real work—on deeds, not just words.

They wouldn’t want you to settle for letting yourself off the hook, for simply indulging in some symbolic gesture or tiny consolation. They’d want you to do the real, uncomfortable work on yourself, or on the world around you.

In this video Ryan Holiday takes you through a month in his life as he tries to live up to this philosophy.

Insane how prolific Ryan is - what a work ethic and someone who always practices what he preaches 👏

You inspire me to restart my working life at 71 years old. I so respect your work ethic and energy. Thanks for the inspiration. In the next 30 days I will finish the book I have been writing for over two years.

I'm never disappointed when listening to you. I've begun my day listening to you Mr. Holiday. Thank you

My sister died on the 25th, (little under 2 weeks ago), then Sunday the daily stoic YouTube channel found me. It’s been extremely helpful. I live in Austin and we had to drive to Lufkin which means driving through The town where the painted porch is located. Seemed like too much of a coincidence to not stop by. It’s crazy how life works. I was already super into Self help but stoicism feels like it found me. Not sure the point of my writing this lol, but thank you for the daily stoic and I’ll look into these books you recommended for loss. Strangely another coincidence.

Living such a life is inspiring others/me to evaluate "ARE WE LIVING THE LIFE WE WANT OR ARE WE SETTLING FOR LESS". As I start my 62nd year I REFUSE TO SETTLE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE.

Been recommending Ryan Holiday books for YEARS. I am super excited for Discipline is Destiny.

It’s easy to overcommit. I can so relate to this. This is a reason why I often get burnt out. Problem was in me => overcommitting. Being afraid to say no. Being afraid to disappoint others. Being afraid for the relationship to go the wrong way by me saying no.

I'm on day 74 of your Journal Ryan, (using daily stoic too) I can't thank you enough for the all the short vids that got me into you.
I'm in the best place that I've been in decades thanks to you and stoicism. ❤️

I can't tell you how grateful I am for this channel; I'm so glad I found it (by accident). This is changing my life so much for the better. Thank you!

[ryanbain]

Ryan Holiday thank you so so much man. You taught and showed me philosophy which introduced me to a new chapter in this life of mine. Thank you, bless you.

Ryan’s work ethic is something I genuinely strive for every single day

So sorry for your loss. I'm amazed at the history ancestors have seen. I was just listening to a talk by a man who remembered talking to his grandparents who were the children of slaves. My mom was an army nurse in Vietnam and she passed last year (not COVID). May we always remember that every moment is the passing of history.

Sorry for your loss ryan may your grandma rest in peace ❤❤

[sierraryanwallick]

Yes, please share more content like this because it’s most helpful to see how you apply stoicism to your life personally! 🙌

[adhiantos]

I bought the Daily Stoic journal as a birthday present for entering the 30s. Striving to be a stoic! 🙌🏼

[BloomByCC]

Thank you Ryan. For all that you give to your stoic community. For the stoic community. Its helping me to live a better life.

[Thatonethinker]

Cant wait for this book. I LOVED the obstacle is the way. I value discipline highly

[carlettesouthern-robert]

Hi Ryan, Your Grandmother sounds like she was an awesome, courageous woman (unsung heroine, there are so many).
Hope you dedicate one of your books to her.😊🌷💫
ThankYou💐also for the book recommendations.
Good consciousness on saying no, it's huge b/c we can easily overcommit and sleepwalk through life.
Love your videos!✴🧡✴

I have to read a lot for school. I find printing out the material, even though it is wasteful of paper, makes it easier because unlike reading electronic files, it's harder to be distracted with dead trees. They are also more convenient because they don't need to boot up, have their batteries charged, or need replaced if dropped. Going somewhere with a stack of papers and a notepad, and just reading.

[jamessitzmann]

I use the stoic philosophy to keep calm. Keep up the great work!
