7 Stoic Stories To Guide You Through Life
The truth is delivered best in stories, in fables.
This is why the Stoics loved poetry. They loved the theater. They didn’t see art as frivolous. To them it was essential. It was a delivery mechanism for truth-not everything belongs in an aphorism or a discourse. In this video Ryan Holiday delivers 7 of the best Stoic stories that will guide you through life.
Sometimes we need it rendered beautifully. Sometimes we need it in a story. So it sneaks past our defenses. So it implants in our memory. As Saint-Exupéry writes in The Little Prince, sometimes it’s only with the heart that we can see.

You changed it
you can watch 100s of ryan holiday videos and still not become a stoic but at the same time 1 video is enough to turn you into a stoic action is the only difference you gotta apply it stoicism is merely a guidance of life you have to apply the guidance it gives you
Thank you so much. After a very long period I find a genuine human on this screen of digital life.
‘Ego Is The Enemy’ is a great book!

OMG!! I say all the time that the birth of my son was the best worst day of my life. Had 10 hours of labor, made it to 9 cm and had to have a c-section. The one thing that I told my doc that I did not want to be part of my birth plan. My second worst best day of my life, that I had premonitions about, is when the same child had a head on collision with a school bus and survived and only suffered a compound fracture of his leg. The day lives on as the day that something worse did not happen. All events are neutral until perspective is applied.
Ryan, I just discovered you last week… and I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing your work with the world. I am an over-thinker so your work hits me in the right spot! Pulling me out of that swampy mind and into courageous action. Thank you!!! I live in Texas and hope to come see you at the Painted Porch.🤠📚

Thank you, Mr. Holiday for all of your videos, books and basically all you do. Your work speaks to me on a soul level.
I don’t know how Ryan does it, but I feel like he’s talking *directly* to me. It’s an art, like a form of one sided casual conversation, but I feel equally engaged. I’m very new to stoicism (or had been practicing certain elements without realising it was related to this philosophy) but I haven’t looked back since finding it, like finding an overarching purpose in life. My thanks to Ryan & everyone behind this channel 🙏🏻 Memento Mori!
Damn man..... you're what I've needed. I appreciate your wisdom. It's helping me get through. I love how stoicism has naturally been my path.... but now it's being put into perspective in my early 40s. Can't afford your books, but you offer us this knowledge for free. Thank you, you are helping me more than you may realize. This should be taught throughout school.
"Enough is enough"...I had never thought of life that way...
Amazing! I love it! thanks Ryan and thanks Stoicism!
Ryan Holiday! You're an international treasure and I can not thank you enough!

Thanks for making me wiser every time I watch your videos, read the books written by you. Thaka Ryan, thanks a lot.
Number 6 is powerful.
Thank you so much Ryan for your daily posts. They have kept me level headed over the past three years when I truly needed this wisdom. There is the old saying “when the student is ready the teacher appears “ never more true. I love that you are including more content inclusive of women.
This is fantastic!
Thank you 🙏🏽.
Very inspiring and amazing, thank you ! 🙌🏼
You and your content are gems, Ryan. Keep moving 🧡

Great great video Ryan. Thank you for your wisdom. Recently bought meditations and I love it...so good. Keep up the great work. You are an awesome steward of stoicism.
Very helpful stories, thank you for sharing! ❤🙏
Excellent Video Ryan!
:) A wonderful and inspiring epic. :)
Great video - love it
Edison's reaction to his life's work going up in flames is some next-level equanimity.
Excellent video
This is awesome
Ryan, been getting so much value from your vlogs, I’ve recently purchased “obstacle and courage,” books. It has reaffirmed many of my values and beliefs, quite frankly, it’s been life changing. Where can I find this Kipling poem? Thanks and keep inspiring

OMG! Can anyone tell me the background music for this! It is perfect for this video. Sublime.
Please go and read that Kipling's poem btw. It's called "If".
i love this channel ...i gained a lot of insight that helped me thro my divorce and read a few books on it....I do not agree 100 pc with it actually. A lot of people can but if you understand it has flaws you can still gleam at least some very useful stuff.... if you go pick apples you always get a few that you can use and toss the rest away....

Yes, but let's remember your worst moments are not on display. The people that experienced your worst moments are not visible to the world.
Every video talking about Will Smith's battery of Chris Rock, all I've mentioned is stoic principals and, especially as a parent, let your actions as a parent teach your children how to treat others.

I keep making the same mistakes! And then have to accept it because it’s in the past “you can’t unring a bell!” Mostly it’s my mouth that gets me into trouble and impulsive behaviors I meditate and train and listen but I keep making the same mistakes! I feel like Paul “I do the things I don’t wish to do and I don’t do the things I wish to do” I love the law of God but sin still lives in me! How can I stop making the same mistakes??? Ryan?

Enough doesn’t mean a few though .

Please let me know if you can use a writer.
Tesla is the most famous inventor. Edison is a famous thief.
the kennedy/king story is a weird one to my brain..... if Kennedy had not made the call and King had stayed in jail a little longer and been released by some other means, it's possible they both would still be alive today. Idk why that's the element that stood out to me in the vid... it has nothing to do with stoicism. Just a thing that made me go Huh.

Elon Musk should see this video.
i dont want to make millions off my facebook ill just collect my social security check of 15,000 a year.
Edison was honestly a piece of crap. I would have excluded him from this topic lol.
Wonder if Ryan is still crying about his dad voting for Trump. Hope potato head Biden is keeping you stable and focused Ryan
