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.

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.

My sister died on the 25th, (little under 2 weeks ago), then Sunday the daily stoic KZread 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.

I'm never disappointed when listening to you. I've begun my day listening to you Mr. Holiday. Thank you
Been recommending Ryan Holiday books for YEARS. I am super excited for Discipline is Destiny.
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.
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 bought the Daily Stoic journal as a birthday present for entering the 30s. Striving to be a stoic! 🙌🏼

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
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!
Cant wait for this book. I LOVED the obstacle is the way. I value discipline highly
Thank you Ryan. For all that you give to your stoic community. For the stoic community. Its helping me to live a better life.
Yes, please share more content like this because it’s most helpful to see how you apply stoicism to your life personally! 🙌
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.
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!✴🧡✴
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.
I love to apply these aspects to my life honestly helps so much thank you!
So very inspiring - thank you Ryan!
Awesome video - full of smart thinking. Thanks Ryan.

Great content.
Thank you to spend a moment to mention Susan Cain and Introverts in general. Far too often they are misunderstood by the world or their surroundings. Looking forward to Discipline is Destiny !

If you like challenging ideas and if mastery and masculinity are also subjects that interest you, I invite you to explore the videos shared on the Mastery Order Channel to challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood and to become the kind of man you would admire and look up to. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well. Looking forward to your points of view. All the best to you!
Yes. Life on life's terms.
I'm unsure why I haven't followed the stoic path until it was too late. Emotion seeped into my management style and I paid the ultimate price. Then, I stumbled upon a quote on instagram from the Daily Stoic... and I latched on. It's the last stage of my life, and I have squandered so much by being undisciplined, giving in to temptations, and poor decision making that can only be contributed to being unfocused and undisciplined. I'm not really worried about starting over. I've always seem to be quite the "boot-strapper" (much to OAC's chagrin), but I'm reading Marcus A., watching YOUR videos, and trying to unlearn and melt down the bad-habits I have forged into my very being. Thank you for sharing this... and I'm on board. (Also an author (fiction)) and trying to not stress and stay focused on the task at hand- starting over at 60. This helps. Thank you! (Subscribed and activated notifications!).

Extraordinary, how do u cope..... Runs on the beach talks in cafes, flights during the day, surviving on Starbucks, what a grind. I'd be curious of stoicism from the perspective of someone in Ukraine in a Fox hole for months and lost most everything. Enjoy yr run and travels, u r the man walking the talk. You regurgitate books many of us have already read, videos we have already seen no more no less, but does that make it stoic?

Appreciate you and the daily stoic, your schedule is a different hamster wheel, perhaps listen to your advise and prioritize. Best of luck with your path, don't miss what's really important in life.

Hello Ryan, do you think starting martial arts can improve yourself as a human? Learning mindfulness and discipline and strength.
Nice shirt!
Hi ,new subscriber here.. what r the principles of stoicism,,what is actually “ living like stoic”? Any video. Is stoic journal in digital edition too?
I live like a stoic every time I watch these videos.
I need a video about how to live like a stoic with a family and little kids.
Well, I think I used my lunch break well watching this 🙂👍🏻

With regards to a certain predator named Harvey Milk: He used to "befriend" under age boys before "enjoying" their company. Apparently, when they started sprouting a little too much in the way of chest and pubic hair, he would end the relationship. Two of them committed suicide after he dropped them. Troubling, but then I guess more than one stoic had very similar proclivities.
I wish I could stand the "chill vibes" music cause this video is amazing. The background music is just so distracting to me.

Justice is not a compound word. There is no such thing as economic justice, racial justice, environmental justice - there is only justice. Compound justice does not reduce injustice, it simply shifts it to a different group. If we want justice, it should be for the purpose of reducing injustice, not shifting injustice to someone else.

You need to stop tatooing yourself with sayings or you'll end up looking like a newspaper article. Meditations, meditate, stillness, silence, stop, slow down, let the mud settle, quiet, apply the brakes, feel your hearth beat, become aware of the air entering your nose and follow it into your lungs and exhale again, become more present, as you become more and more quiet and still, and as you are reading these words become aware of the seer surrounding your body that is watching the person reading these words on the screen. Meditations.
I'm yet to actually see where the "stoicism" is in this. 🤷🏾♂️
Why do you have that manic jump editing? It is very off putting from what are great videos.
You mean the daily stoic is not stoic every day?
Don't go to goddamn Florida!
is it Jordan Peterson in his youth?
"Living like a Stoic" yet caring enough to document and post about. Nah. This world doesn't seem real anymore with people like this on the net.
