Writes ten books on stoicism, and also puts out a ton of free advice and information on CZcams? This dude is my hero.
right. he isn't a fuckin Gatekeeper just trying to give you just enough your interested or got results enough to pay for their seminar or week long retreat or buy their product and what not. not that those people are bad, I don't believe they are, I'm just saying he isn't a gatekeeper. hold the gate till ya pay kinda thangggg.
100 percent.
@永乐 Why pay? We live in the age of information. Ignorance is a choice now in my opinion. ;)
@永乐 it's not freeloading. That type of thinking that's "Obviously" going on in your head is poor/middle class mentality. Think like the rich. Which would beeeee, why pay for it if I'm smart enough to find it free. Stay poor bub 😘
I'd rather keep Slamming money into my portfolio and let my money make me more instead of spending it. But you keep up the good work bud. 🤣✌️
"You can't change your friends, but you can change your friends". Took me a while to get it but damn it's a good reminder
Very good reminder
I think in Greek it made more sense.
Here change has 2 meanings.
What does it mean?
@@lovealways729 i think it means you cant change their behaviour but you can change who your friends are
@@karimkamel4295agreed… you cannot change who your friends are they are who they are but you can change not to have them around you
Amor Fati’s potential is limitless. I achieved success with the easy steps below.
Many need to know this. A known podcast in the US taught me how the rich seek the ideas of FinanciaI ConsuItants to help earn success. That’s the secret the rich don’t teach you. I took this step and my finance breathes so good now 🤑
To acquire success, you need the help of a FinanciaI consuItant. I engage in a variety of lnvestments with the ideas of my consuItant and have acquired great returns so far. (the amount is confidential).
for further lnquiry about my financiaI, consultant, you can look up her full name below

Opportunity is a scarce commodity. I will partake in this; there’s no limit to what you can achieve in life (including success) if you put your mind to it. Luckily I stumble into this.
My nephew turned me onto your email,and CZcams shows. I’m 71 in the throws of mourning my husband of 47 years and you have given me more to know in this life I have lived so far. I thank you for that. We have had a beautiful marriage of which I’m beyond grateful and I have many blessings in my grandchild my family and the people around me. I’m glad to add you as one of those blessings to make even more of this life that I have no regrets of. I’m sad and missing but I also know what I had and what I have and all to give. Thank you
So sorry for your loss. Gratitude is a powerful recentering tool. Most of us forget to use it as often as we should.
glad to say Im the 71 like
I’m so sorry. You had 47 wonderful years 💕 a new chapter begins, this one can be just as beautiful I promise :)
My condolences on your husband's passing. I hope you're surrounded by loving ppl who sit with you while you grieve the way you need to at your own pace.
Aww Aunty Mary...we are here for you ...xxx Your blessed 47 good years and family. In this day and age its hard to find a genuine partner. People have to big egos and are too confident to not appreciate love because of technology and swipe and finding replacements then solving and embracing situations.

Thanks a lot for making it easy for us hhh
I really want to express how much I appreciate this! So many creators don't offer a guide to targeted listening. It's something that really keeps me coming back. I happened to listen to this video all the way through, but I want to make sure you know how much it is appreciated.
I've applied stoicism more in the last three months, than I have in the past three years, and your content has been key! Keep up the good work! Thank you.
RYAN YOU WENT HARD ON THIS ONE! LOVE YOU BROTHER🙏
Si
@dailystoic Ryan, how do you highlight within the books you read? Is different colours to the first, second time you’ve read the book? Etc
"Look for the poetry in ordinary things." Back in college I took a poetry writing course. I remember my professor stressing the idea that if you're going for a walk or a jog that you shouldn't wear headphones because you miss out on the beauty of so many things. Your surroundings and even the rhythm of your own heartbeat are beautiful things that can inspire many great lines. I've never forgot this and even though I don't write poetry anymore, I still think like a poet. However, I wouldn't recommend not wearing headphones in a gym because they're usually blaring some garbage.
Are you crazy?? If you are not connected YOU WILL DIE!!
Damn...that was actually pretty eye opening. Definitely gonna carry this mindset for my evening walks.
Thanks for sharing 🤝
Giving up the ability to hear is dangerous also.
I recently started this practice a few months ago, and it's been a revelation. Ditching the headphones has made me more attuned to the nuances and beauty in everyday moments, in everyday life. It's also made me more mindful and intentional about when I do listen to music. Everyday life doesn't need a soundtrack; it already has its own if you are open to experiencing it.
I’ve been listening to this video every morning for the last 3weeks while getting ready and it’s made me more relaxed and I’ve seen an improvement in myself 👍🏻
Daily affirmations keep us on our toes like daily exercise. Keep training your mind like u train your body 💪😎
Yeah, this feels like a mind vitamin that we all need to take
Rah, yut, semper fidelis
Good to hear, I'm in!
I just realised I can totally use "the obstacle is the way" when teaching maths. We talk in education about how the struggle to understand something is actually so important to making it stick in your brain. Anything to keep up my persona as the "weird teacher" anyway lol.
As a recovering addict stoicism is the best philosophy I could have ever encountered. I still have a long way to go to being the person I want to be but employing these strategies has transformed me into a person I can be proud of. I've been in sobriety / recovery since 2017. Have overcome severe mental health conditions and am focusing on my passion in life. Its wonderful.
Shelley, you're awesome and don't EVER forget that! Keep fighting the good fight, its worth it, the people that love you is worth it, you're worth it to the people that love you, and most importantly you're worth it to yourself💜💪❤.
@@wesleyalan9179 thankyou ❤️ it is definitely worth it. Change is possible no matter how grim things may seem to be. 😍
I hope all is going well with you. Wishing the best for you
Hey, I am a recovering addict too...
As he says every pain is an opportunity to change
It is almost 6 month of war here in Ukraine. And my native city is right on the front line. All these missile strikes, artillery , etc. ruining places that were part of my life and killing people I knew made me to revise some thoughts on life priorities. Extreme situations like this kind of underline what is really important in your life. A food and water enough to be healthy and sometimes something tasty just for pleasure of tasting a good dish. Clean and warm bed to sleep. Possibility of having a walk in the park and watching birds, squirrels , etc. People you care are in safety and are healthy. An opportunity to work on things you want to master. This is actually it. Its actually what is enough.
Situation brought me to something on the edge of stoicism and Nietzschean overcoming of yourself. And while googling on stoicism I came across with your channel.
Just want to say - thank you. You are doing a great job sharing thoughts and spreading an ideas to people that need them!
Andrii. I follow the Ukraine War pretty much daily and wanna tell you how sorry I am that your country suffers this injustice. I think of you guys every day, praying for you to meet your sovereign objectives and for this nightmare to be over. Better days ahead, my friend! A lot of people in the world care about Ukraine❤️
🎯
May the force be with you my friend! You are surely also a hero!
Long live you and yours!
Long live ✨ 🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇺🇦 ✨!

When I think of Marcus Aurelius’s teachings I always remember - Give me the SERENITY to ACCEPT the things that I can’t control, the COURAGE to CHANGE the things that I can, and the WISDOM to know the DIFFERENCE. ❤😊
Catholic prayer
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 I don’t think Marcus Aurelius was Catholic. 🤔. I rather think this would be before Catholics. 🙄
I should watch this video every day.
3 consecutive days now
@@OliverVillaverde I rewatch this and take note in my book. Each day gets a Rule for Life...
I attend a local Greek Orthodox Church, and my priest has told me repeatedly " strict with yourself , and lenient with others "
Our job is to work on us .
" Acquire a spirit of peace and thousands around you will be saved"
-St Seraphim of Sarov
Challenge for anyone who reads this: apply one of these rules each day for the next 50 days! 😊 let’s go! ❤
I think you missed the point completely
It’s with all this stoicism trend nowadays that I’ve discovered that I’ve been a stoic all my life without even knowing it! Interestingly, sometimes I felt that I had an “uncommon” approach to the situations which didn’t match the usual behavior of many people, and that made me think that maybe I was wrong about my way of thinking. But it just happened that I was a stoic 😄 good that now I can name it and be proud of it!
I love Stoicism, and the way you you bring it t
@@mingpeeps thank you! I appreciate it!
That is so interesting. Keep it up 👍
Me too!!
In a culture that sees asking for help as a sign of weakness, no single act carries the weight of true strength more than rejecting the entire culture by asking for that help.
This is the first person I’ve seen organize book shelves by color and I’m kinda digging it.
Journal: “Instead of dumping on someone, it made me better,” - that one really hit home, thank you 🙏
Great advice:
"Things don't happen TO you, they happen FOR you."
If everyone acted on this rules the world would be a better place.
Ryan, you're the man. Bought books on stoicism but could never really read them (boring). Thanks for making stoicism so digestible and relatable to modern life. You are such a gem to so many!
In my opinion this video is your Magnum Opus, it embodies everything that Daily Stoic stands for and a lot of what Stoicism is about, the practices talked about here are timeless and universal, thank you so much for this.
Just listen to this on my first run of the year on Jan 1, 2023.
I watch this video at least once a week.
"Everything you do, you chose to purchase with your life" This hit me so hard. I never thought of life/death, every moment that we have, useless things that i spent time on, this way. So profound, and awe-inspiring.
I slooooooowly went through everything you said and meditated on each one. It was a long time well spent
It never ends though. Keep it
I was halfway through watching this video on 1.6x speed when I scrolled down and read this comment. I have now gone back to the beginning of the video and watching at normal speed and now going to watch again and pause, meditate and journal on each point before moving on to the next point. Reading your comment made me realise how I was trying to 'smash out' this video and move quickly through things in a hurried pace. Rather than slowing down and actually appreciating each point and taking the time to reflect
The clarity of this. Please teach these principles.
I need to watch this every day.
I watch this video often and specially when I face a difficulty. It grounds me and guides me. Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom with us.
“You are choosing to purchase with your life.”
This hits me hard !👍👏🥰
These virtues are basically the same as the fruits of the Holly Spirit we are though to practice for an enriched, Peacefull, meaningful life and Afterlife
I am turning my eldest son onto the stoic philosophy and we use this guy 95% if the time.
Hi, Ryan, wow, what a treasure. If you’d have find 52, there’ll be one for every week of the year to think about and work with… I’ll translate it into German and make a picture of it. I always admired the Stoics and they helped me a lot during my life. There are of course reasons I found them. My favourite was always EPIKTET, thank you I know now a lot more. Never too old to learn new skills. Love, Monika❣️
A few years back I went through a very painful divorce and your book helped me out of my depression. I would listen to it as I was running training for a marathon... almost 5 years later I realize how that painful journey was the way to this current new stage of my life... it turns out my exwife was a few years later diagnosed with freak Early Onset Dementia... what I did not realize at the time is the weigh of that disease was not only bringing her down, but bringing our young sons and myself down with it... it was through the painful divorce that I freed myself from it, and was able to be the father my sons needed... now my sons and I are doing very well, and we are also caring for my exwife and being present for her accompanying her though her journey, but not being drowned by it... the painful divorce was the way for all of us to become greater and have a better life (for now -lol)
Stoic. If I am ever in a situation like this, I hope I can live up to this.
You are a beautiful person for the way that you dealt with a time that was clearly very distressing. You sound like a great example to your family! Your actions are very inspiring. 👍🏽😊
BS. I talked to ur “ex” and she said she’s never even met u.
@@johnbags2525 very classy. Your attempt of joke lacks class. I wonder why you are reading these deep thought post and then responding like this? Anyway, work on your humor. Trying to hurt other people is never funny.
@@johnbags2525 in keeping with the tradition of “The Obstacle Is The Way” Your negative post gave me the opportunity to paste a message I wrote to my ex-wife because today would have been our 29th wedding anniversary:
.
A note to my ex-wife
In the day of our anniversary.
It has been
- [ ] 29 years since we got married and I promised to take care of you until death do us apart.
- [ ] 31 years since you stole my heart with your sweet kiss when we first met
- [ ] 7 years since we divorced.
- [ ] 4 years since you were diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia and I took you back to care for you.
My heart is broken in 1000 pieces and dark. Yet, somehow I managed to learn to love better than I had ever loved before.
Your sweetness is incomparable. Your pureness is indescribable.
I am still in awe!
Yet, I suffer immeasurable grief for seeing you go through the Alzheimer’s experience. My pain is matched with deep gratitude for having the opportunity to serve you selflessly, and to take care of our two beautiful and strong sons.
I will always love you selflessly and eternally, because you deserve it. I see the pure sweetness of God displayed in you every second of every day.
Thank you for making me better and for giving me the opportunity to care for you.
I learned all these lessons the hard way. Live long enough and life teaches you. For me, it took a year a lesson.
Watch this vid 50 times over the next 50 days.... Life changing
Took screenshot of every slide. Noted on the paper. Pasted on the wall in front of my study table. Now, every morning, I read all the rules slowly as it will take time to get into your subconscious.
Live, Love and Levitate...!!
Hate is as important as Love.
@@Fuehrenundfolgen why
@@deepanshudutt2019 because if one is not able to hate what is threatening what one loves, one does infact not love.

Even the comments are inspiring, left alone this video.
For the last rule what popped into my head was "people are not what they say they do, they are what they do"
I'm 77 now and asking myself, "Where has stoicism been all my life?" Thank you for this and this community.
So, I'm at T-Mobile in order to leave A T and T, this takes a while. Before I leave, two T-Mobile folks take a picture of my copy of The Obstacle is the Way. They ask about the circles tattooed on my arm. Those are my teachers and the reminder of the only place my power is, inside the hoop. I leave them with The Daily Stoic email. They ask me to visit; it wasn't me that got them revved up- Stoicism The path to your best life. Hi Ry...
Every day my inner me grow with him
OMG - I’m enjoying this so much… I’m in my mid seventies now. I studied Eastern wisdom traditions most of my life: Buddhism, Zen, and Taoism, but I knew nothing at all about the Stoics. Over my 70+ years I had developed some personal ideas and outlooks that helped me along the way. Then… over the past few months because of these vids on CZcams I have been introduced to the Stoics way of viewing life and I am stunned at how many of these ideas I had developed on my own without realizing there was a name for it or that there were ancient wisdom traditions based on that way of seeing things. So: THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this with the world here on YT. Now I want to read some of these wise words in book form to grok the back-story. Ever grateful.
The reason I love Marcus Aurelius so much is because I faced so many of the troubles he provides solutions too. I would get like halfway to his solution on my own, then negative thoughts would push out the wisdom before I’d have that “aha” moment. Hearing that someone from 2,000 years ago was facing essentially the exact same problems made me realize that my problems are not unique or so complex that I as a human don’t possess the skills to make my life better in the face of these problems.
Was kind of like holding a mirror up to myself, but my reflection became a friend instead of a bully.
This is the real content and spread positivity all over the world. I am from india I share this video to all my friends because this rules is very impressive.
Almost 2 weeks plus I watched this video everyday to remind this rules 👍
Utterly, unbelievably and precisely great wisdom !!!!
I watch so many CZcams videos, and this is easily the best CZcams video that I have ever watched.
What a gem, one of the best videos I’ve watched!! This needs to be reviewed weekly at a minimum!! Wow ❤
"Don't feel more than you have to." felt that one haha.
Thank you for everything ❤️
Thinking this be good to listen to each night before I go to bed as reinforcement
Since I was a kid I have read stoicism,became so depressed under the pandemic and brought me back to stoicism,under the pandemic I had reviewed my entire lifetime,I had not find regrets on me,other than not getting my Hi School Diploma or GED.
Wow, there's a lot of quality information packed into these 26 minutes. Thanks man! Your videos are among the best on CZcams!
Epictetus: "Keep your intention pure. Emotions will try to distract you. So keep going. That’s the cure."
Thanks so very much for this. I am going to be watching this over and over again every morning while I get ready before my day starts!
If something bad is happening in your life congratulations something great is going to happen. Just be patient. In this world we lack good communication, patience and don't look at things broadly enough.
This guy is helping a lot of people.
God this is so necessary for me to get through this life. So helpful and practical 🙏.
Life changing advice! Well spoken my friend!
Wise far beyond your years. Love your book, “the obstacle is the way”. Simple concepts I can act upon today.
🌹✌😀🫂💖😁
🤔 -- there's a book!
@Joe Kuhn - Are you an obstacle?
I'm going to be playing this video every day as a great reminder ;)
I should listen to this daily
Who can thumbs down this video?? I loved this a lot and it made me think of what is really important in life.

Love from a small channel💙
The reason why I like Ryan holiday is not because of agreeing with stoicism but because of how passionate he is about stoicism
You're a great advisor Mister Ryan.
Love your passion for Stoicism Ryan. I enjoy your videos. Great "grounders" for anyone caught up in normal Earth stuff. Now to apply it!
Ryan, thank you for sharing the practical wisdom of the stoics. You do so in a very natural and powerful way. I greatly value how it supports my understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as binding with other faiths and paths of refinement. I am grateful to you and have been made better by your life's mission. Thank you!
I agree all rules except the one that says don't forget yourself, I would say in return be tolerant to yourself and life will be much easier!
Dear Ryan, you're so young, how did you become so enlightened? And, thank you for sharing your insight with the world.
I’ve had a lot of these thoughts before hearing of stoicism or Marcus Aurelius, it’s comforting to know that I’ve developed similar thoughts to a great person, however difficult it is to act on these thoughts.
Hi Ryan. You have inspired me to study stoicism. It has changed my life! I am forever grateful for your work. Thank you very much! Carpe diem.
The best video ever created on the internet. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Pure distilled gold !!!
never clicked on a video so quickly, Thank you for this gem of a video Ryan!

This video is priceless Ryan. Everyone should watch this regularly and apply as much as they can to their life. Thank you for uploading.
God bless Ryan 🙏🙏🙏
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS I HOPE U LIVE A GOOD LIFE
HI Ryan, I want to say Thank you! I listen this video every morning, it basically lifts me up from a hopeless situation under extreme isolation and psychological torture. You are "Wow !!! "
Hi Ryan thank you so very much for these videos. You are inspiring me to be 1% better every day. Making healthier choices, sticking to a good fitness routine. And even doing one thing today to scare me by having a cold shower this morning after my high intensity training workout I had always feared cold water and I found myself looking up at the shower head and asking it" is this all you've got?" Next aims are to go to bed 15 minutes earlier at the start of each week and waking up 15 minutes earlier. Improving by 15 minutes every week. So I can get up and start journalling. 😊😊
MODERATION IS BALANCE
The stoic rules are in themselves a revelation, but your commentary on them just amplifies them!!
I hope this video gets a million views because it deserves it. So much wisdom in one CZcams video.
This channel is a life changer. I have a fault of saying too much when I don’t need to. I am currently reading Meditations and starting to apply this philosophy to my life. Thank you.
I needed these reminders. Thank you for reminding me.
Every single day I get problems and I am not afraid by them because you are always here to teach me ❤
Thank you for these nuggets of wisdom. This needs to be shared everywhere.
Great video, Ryan. No. 10 on imagined troubles, and No. 48 The Obstacle is the Way, and making the best out of difficulties really resonate with me. Thank you for all of the wisdom you share :)
Also, I found No 42 interesting 'If someone offends you, realize you are complicit in taking offense', very relvant to the current culture.
I so appreciate your channel ❤ 💛 💕 ♥ 💓
So much wisdom in just 30 minutes. Thank you!
I am grateful to have found this channel and the things you teach. It brings a sense of calm to me.

Medicine via your ears . Thank you always Ryan for awsome content.
This Video is So IMPORTANT to Me
God bless you Ryan!! Please continue to help us becoming better!!
Just found your channel today. Went out and bought a journal and starting to implement this self reflection and allowing to be removed from things I can't control. I started the day feeling crappy. But feel more comfortable now. Thank you for all the great advice.
DS MAN
NICE EASY quick..simple
Listen to this Daily you will be a winner in life
You are a great teacher and this is very selflessly done. Easy to understand and powerful. Thank you.
Parents these days don't have time to teach their children these gems. A daily discussion over a meal together, focusing on just one point would be a great way to begin. Always loved your emails. Thank you very much.
Love this!
