Ryan Holiday: The Daily Stoic

EPISODE 111

Join us as we start our series on Ryan Holiday with his book The Daily Stoic. A unique blend of practical wisdom that has been inspiring the most successful among us for centuries, from Roman Emperors to Barack Obama. The Daily Stoic widens our view on the Stoic philosophy and shows that it can be applied to any problem.

The goal of this book is “to restore Stoicism to its rightful place as a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom.” From how to manage failure to get what you want, the ideas continue to be vitally relevant to today's doers and thinkers.
