Amor fati Ryan! Could you explore what stoicism would say about the flipside of death, worring too much. I AGREE with your thoughts but also see that WAY too many think that being "alive is the same as living". What would the stoics say about how government, "experts", and huge large companies are using our fear of death against us? THANK YOU for spreading empowerment rather than fear. Very courageous my dear friend. you inspired me to start my blog. Forever grateful to you!

How would the Stoics view catharsis? I've been having some painful memories that I need to let go of, and have got quite emotional about it, but I don't view it as a bad thing. I haven't sunk into depression as I would have done in the past. I feel relieved that I've let these pent up emotions out and necessary for my continued progress to become a self-actualized human being.

Very good, I really want to tear (Stoicism) it all apart and put it all together. To have an experience that moves my mind, body, emotions, and energy. Ryan what do you think as a plan for the future. ´´Plan´´ being the key!

Ryan Holiday. You on your deathbed can rest knowing that you have brought this philosophy to the mainstream. I have spent so many years lost in thought but your books have really narrowed down what is important in this lost world..thank you. Thank you. Thank you

"Frame your thoughts like this - you are an old person, you won't let yourself be enslaved by this any longer, no longer pulled like a puppet by every impulse, and you'll stop complaining about your present fortune or dreading the future." ---- Marcus Aurelius

Perfection of character to be spend each day as if it is your last.

Life is a combustion process: what I throw into the fire becomes fuel for the fire. The light produced by this process is intellect. A healthy body + an intelligent mind are the greatest capitals of mankind.

I always keep a copy of meditations with me wherever I go. And I gift the book to people I like.

This video was so good that i had to watch it twice in a row.. Just brilliant.

He that does good to another does good to himself! So true. These Stoics were around 2000 years ago but there wisdom is so needed today. Anyone agree?

The last section reminded me of the first time I read Meditations - as soon as I was finished, I wanted to read it again.

From Marguerite Yourcenar ‘Memoirs of Hadrian’: I have never bitten into a chunk of army bread without marvelling that this coarse and heavy concoction can transform itself into blood and warmth, and perhaps into courage.

I totally love Ryan Holiday. He's awesome

Loving your content, Mr. Holiday. Thank you for offering this freely! There appear to be many parallels in Stoicism to Zen and Mahayana Buddhism. Most evidently here is the concept of consistent action; enlightenment is not a destination but a utilization of the opportunity to practice every moment. Both contain 4 fundamental virtues as well- the traits of the Buddha are peace, joy, friendliness, and equanimity. I would love a deep dive into the parallels of these complimentary philosophies and how each were applied to the variables of their respective environments and placements in history. Cheers!

Thank you for these long life opening quotes. It’s powerful. I passed these out my son who had a difficult journey in life. I Hope this will open his eyes and mind. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for your contribution, work and sharing of his teachings, eloquently and expertly. This has become one of the things that has helped me, and is helping me, navigate one of the most challenging periods of my life.

Killer video. Thanks Ryan, this is really good.

I love your stuff , Mr Holiday.

Wow, this is just indeed one of the most powerful videos for mind and spirit I’ve ever seen… thank you, Ryan.

Life changing, indeed...

Always aim for something when you are completely disciplined. Don’t practice what you don’t want to become, know this and live by it. To make the world a better place first do the things you have to do everyday, and actually do them, everyday. Where there's growth, there's progress, and where there's progress, there is change, and that is a massive part of life. Repair what is in disorder, and make what is already good, better.

I find your videos to be very uplifting and comforting. I wish I had found them much sooner.

Memento mori you can leave life. Is my all time favourite quote. I recently had this tattooed on my arm so am reminded of it daily.

Thanks God Marcus Aurelius paved the way , the path to live the day , even tough by teaching us that the obstacle becomes the way .

We can prove our metal now there’s a line I can relate to once again I can’t thank you enough and your messages always come at the right time for the ones who are listening I just wish there were more of us with the ears to hear God bless

Exactly! This is what he needs in his crazy life 👍

Thank you for your great content. I was introduced to Stoicism thanks to you! What an amazing and life-changing philosophy! Keep up the good work. I’ve also read The Obstacle Is The Way and currently reading Ego Is The Enemy. Amazing books!

Thanks brother for your time and efforts it's one of your best videos..

Thank you so much for sharing these. I am becoming better at handling my anxiety every single day because I watch your videos constantly. May you have a long life.

Exceptional! I’ve been enjoying your videos, applying them to my life, sharing them. This is definitely one I will pass on to friends. Thank you for sharing this life-changing wisdom! Pam from France

In my core I soooo wish I knew men like Marcus Aurelius or Seneca in present day time. The wisdom and guidance I have always craved. I have a few of their books and yes I can get a ton of wisdom from their books and videos etc. Just saying it would be cool. I hope to be wise or wise enough to where I stop making impulsive decisions which end up biting me in the a$$ lol. If you're a stoic more power to you my brothers and sisters!

Thank you for this video Ryan.

Great video, thanks Ryan!

Reading and listening to your book at the moment,found stoicism late in my life but its changing my attitude towards the challenges we all face. Like Marcus Auralis meditations and Seneca in particular. Stoicism is the way forward..

Ryan you are amazing!

Powerful stuff. Thank you.

Excellent - thank you!

Thank for inspiration !🙏

Thanks Ryan

Thanks for this.

So true today.

Thanks daily stoic

Just Magnificent! Ohhhh We Can Learn From This 😉

Beautiful video

tks ryan.

Thanks, Ryan.

What stands in the way becomes the way.

"The obstacle truly is the way" - Ryan Holiday. One of my most favorite stoic quote of all time is " ta eph' hemin, ta ouk eph'hemin." Which translates to what is up to us, what is not up to us. pg. 43 The Obstacle Is The Way -Ryan Holiday

WoW just wow

"Getting what you want is fortunate now, but not getting what you want becomes fortunate later." -Some guy

Great Content Thank You Ryan Get up early, own morn Obstacle is the way. Fuel. Opport. Until you give it meaning You learn from adv Die right now. What would you done say?

Seneca: "It does not matter what you bear, but how you bear it."

I think Heraclitus said "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man", not Marcus Aurelius

Read this one twice, "A rational being's good is unselfishness." -Marcus Aurelius

Is there a Facebook community for this KZread channel where we can talk and share about stoicism? If not can you make one and call it the Agora, please! Apologies if I missed the link to it in the description. I don't see one.

Crack open stillness today. It’s a damn good book.

Embrace something greater than the virtues of stoicism is where I embrace the doctrines of Jesus. Mercy yes, but grace more so. We all have a sense of justice, but grace muddles all of it and requires everything from us. We can choose to embrace Amor Fati at that point and become greater for the effort.

In another video you said he wrote for himself. Here you say that he wanted to pass these thoughts on.

Anyone know the font used?

Obviously one cannot overcome the nature that is external. Therefore is Stoicism about overcoming the nature that is internal? Is it about learning to cope with the immutability of one's vulnerability?

Why are the 4 Stoic Virtues “courage, moderation, justice, and wisdom” instead of “justice, honesty, self-control, courage?” Why don’t moderation and wisdom make the cut, or get added? How can one decide which virtues to focus on and how many mantras to live by without them all suffering from inattention?
