A petition for a Marcus Aurelius movie to be made? This man was unarguably the greatest leader of ALL time. What a noble man!🗿🤴

A wonderful history lesson with context to really appreciate the self discipline, wisdom, and most importantly character of a man who pursued simplicity.

The video was informative, although I miss your original voice.
One of my favorites (among many) from Marcus Aurelius:
"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."

I just discovered your channel recently and so glad I did. I'm a 60 year old depressed man with a lost soul and no direction. I'm just mentally tired of the ruminating thoughts of death and what my purpose here is on earth. Ironically, my name is Mark and my mother always called Marcus Aurelius growing up. I look forward to reading your books. Thank you.

Marcus Aurelius was the goat of all the Roman emperors.

The final shot, inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2, really packs a punch.
Fantastic work as always!
Thanks for sharing.

Stoicism has changed my life for the best. I found it right at the end of the pandemic period — which was kinda a dark age of my life, shall we say — when I was needing a life changing view the most.
So, Marcus Aurilius was the first philosopher I got in touch with... Oh, man, that man was remarkably fascinating! Reading his diary really inspired me to write down my own and I always keep most of his thoughts in mind, especially this one: " you can live life right now. Let that determine what you do, say and think "

"True value lies not in possessions or external achievements, but in the strength of character, the depth of wisdom, and the sincerity of one's heart."

Embrace the Stoic path by cultivating virtues such as wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice. Focus on developing your inner qualities rather than chasing external validation. Through self-reflection, continuous learning, and practicing mindfulness, you'll gradually become more valuable in the Stoic sense.

Great video. Did you use a genAI voice-over clone of your voice or normal voice-over?

We search records of history to find the 'ideal' leader. We are always disappointed to find even the best, showing afflictions of greed, hubris, arrogance, corruption, even among today's leaders. But in Marcus we find one that stands alone, who stands for everything we hold in veneration.

I absolutely love these videos Ryan. Your work as a whole. The last one you made had me bawling like a baby. They’re so emotional and cultivating. Cheers to you my friend.

He bought together the ideal of humanity’s traits. Being in a position of such power where he could have acted and bought such destruction he chose to do good.
