What were the most impactful parts of this talk for you?
The humbleness of focusing on getting better all the time rather than stroking your ego. (The Metallica part).
Malcolm X part....I love the idea of using your deadline to your most alive time....the idea that every moment in some way we can get stronger and stronger is so inspiring
@@Human_Evolution- an amazing example of adopting the student's mindset
@@fellow9yro578 If Malcolm X can turn jail time into alive time, we can turn our days of freedom into alive time certainly
Daily Stoic The internal vs external score card part was big for me.
A great antidote to the Golden Age of Narcissism.
exactly my thoughts...
wow so true!!!
perfectly said
Each night before bed I always find myself thinking about how lucky I am to be alive and able to experience the precious moments life gives us.
Out of 2 billion spermatozoids, end up a winner? So upsetting !
"Do not place your identity in the outcome, but rather, in the input of your efforts"
"you focus not on how good you are, not on what you've done, but on how much better you can get"
Well said!
"Where i am putting my identity is not in the outcome but in the input...Wow i love that.Thats solid for me.14:10
If there is no outcome what is the point?
@@carolmosher7745 you got it wrong bro. He never said there is no outcome.Read again i recommend.
@@raymondtendau2749 Ok, so you compete but you don't win? You build but you don't complete? What is the point of that? Ego is all about outcome. It's why we exist!
@@carolmosher7745 Unfortunately,you still decide to Misunderstand it,thats your choice tho,you are right i think😂
The best thing happened to me during this pandemic : Robert Greene, Ryan Holiday, then it leads me to Stoic Philosophy 🙏🏼 Hard time, but I start appreciating everything happening to me 🙏🏼 I’m slowly but changing !!!! Thank you
He who humbles himself will be exalted, he who exalts himself will be humbled. - Jesus Christ
Just like buddha says, "learn how to suffer so you wont suffer no more."
The majority of the worlds religions teach the same thing - be humble and learn. This makes sense that this universal idea was.echoed in the religions and major secular thinkers before, during and after Christianity.
I can't even explain how grateful I am to have found your books and CZcams channel. Thanks for this jewel
You've just blown my head off🤯 !! I always look at the world with a positive attitude and try to be humble too but I just had to subscribe to your channel sooooo much truth in what your saying. Love ❤️ what you do ! keep up the good work!👍🏾🙌🏾
I'm just 8 min into this talk and already I can see how good Ryan has become in delivering his talk. He is sharper with great flow and punchlines in between. Really engaging to watch. I have seen most of his previous talks and I can really tell the difference in the before and now. Great job sir. Great job.
Very easy to lose sight of these things day to day. Good talk
Keeping ego at bay by always striving to get better could be the most impactful part for me. But the part that exposes how ego limits us is very useful also.
Working, studying, learning and working out, and be around other people are great methods for keeping yourself humble and gracious. Staying home alone and engaging in social media will easily create a puffed-up ego and false image. This is why having any kind of job is so important.
Hello Ryan. How the fuck did you learn so much at such a young age. I have a tremendous amount of respect and gratitude for you. You are a great student, teacher and a mentor. Thanks and wish you all the humility .
Super inspiring for everybody. We all struggle with our ego. Its so much more attractive to have your own personal successes yet remain humble throughout.
Shimi Shiba yeah.
The death of the ego is the awaken of the soul; ego is the enemy.
I am crying as I hear this, I wish I had been schooled in this. I should have known this 60 years ago. In middle to high school and college.
This message takes on a new meaning during those crazy time! Instead of watching tv, scroll though SM, take a book, learn, so we can leave the isolation better than when it's all started!
We need more videos like this! Love the book, thank you for making it!
My ego is my friend, we hang out... Some say they have a soul, I am a soul and I have an ego. When I finally learned the difference between the the two voices, everything changed...
Such an enlightening lecture. Simple yet profound. Thanks Ryan👍👍
What a great video! The most impactful were the examples of leaders who do the right thing when the right thing affects them negatively. Such an aspirational goal!
Selfless leadership is incredibly inspiring
Great summary. I'm fairly familiar with stoicism and keep it close to my hear but this brings it back down to earth well.
For someone so young...yr insights are wonderful...just shows how a soul is ageless.....bravo!👍
I'm impressed by how clear and moving your message is, officially a new subscriber!
Can’t get over of this amazing video. I get so pumped. Thanks for sharing🙏
Learn it till you earn it.
Great video.

Incredible insights for a truly balanced life. Wisdom at its finest, great job Ryan

Great content. Thank you for sharing!
The reality of his words and how he defines this mindset to live freely with being intune with oneself " humility and being present , learning to not worry about anything ...
As a guitarist , you touched my soul
The idea that you should lean on confidence over ego and confidence is based on your experiences, learning and practice of your craft! Leaning on ego is like walking with your shoes untied, eventually you will trip up.
Ego is the engine that drives confidence. Without Ego there is nothing.
Kick ass, well said. Keep it up. Real Deal Stuff
Because of this message of all I have listened to from u...I wanted to subscribe twice🤣, infact I wanted to like twice, but truth is i needed this so much
Great speech ryan you got me thinking
Awesome video, thank you!
I have ur book and I love ur videos. Keep doing you man.
I´m almost done with this video, but the one thing that caught my attention is post-traumatic growth. I once injured my whole back practicing archery and I was forced to take an 8 month break. When I came back, I had the best season of my life and that was even better when I missed half of it due to the injury
great talk! worth re-watching
Thank you!
"I write about the ancient stoics a lot in my books"
-- Ryan providing the greatest understatement in CZcams history.
😂😂
You are awesome Ryan thank you
Wish I could give this 10 thumbs up. Literally first thing in CZcams where I turned on my notifications
Love it! Thank you
The fact you mentioned Joe Satriani made my day!!!!!!!! These are guys are looked up to my child hood, Kirk was also mentored by Steve Vai btw :P

18:25 Q: “Where did you go to college?”

Prison
Thank you so much
Thank you.
That was great thank you
Great video. You Rock
Thank you
Do not put too much emphasis on humility and gratitude no matter how nice these qualities are, because they won't necessarily drive you forward. Also, every person is wired differently and someone is more naturally humble than others. But there are many ways to Rome (ego or not), and thus - what people really should be focusing on is their strengths and abilities and go their own way.
There are many more people out there with a sense of false humility who are too scared to take big risks and really make it (and thus secretly hate and envy those who have a more grandiosity spirit) than people who have the guts to be who they really want to be. Being constantly humble, following the herd and keep your head down with gratitude is not a great recipe for success... It's just people deluding themselves to think they are so "good", but really just afraid...
Glad he knows about John wooden and his approach to success.
Very well said
So so good
Awesome!
Superb...
Where is the video where Ryan talks about the toxic news cycle? He talks about how news is always "breaking" or "developing" and how news is designed not to inform but to sell ads.
I sincerely wish that our world's most powerful leaders would absorb the amazing message in this video.
The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.
Brilliant...
Aloha Ryan, I love your stoic messages! I want my 11 year old granddaughter to hear them. However, I hesitate due to the not very often but, in my opinion, unnecessary expletives. In the future, could they be beeped out? Please? Thank you!
to get better every day dont think you know it all no matter what you already know and have done and prepare for the setbacks in life and fokus on what is in your control . the internal scorecard.
Memento Mori is often a very and awkwardly misunderstood meaning:
Lots of people do not realise how life can end abruptly, i.e. my own life can cease at any instant, and then my questions would be ...what have I done with it? Have I done the right thing?
Just hope to have revealed it in the end.
Very good speech.
Memento Mori is actually, if you read it, one of the principles of The Bushido Code. It prompts every Samurai to imagine himself on his death bed, looking back at his life, and asking himself what he regrets and what he would have done differently.
Gold!
Where was this when I was a teen...lol. Better late than never!! 😀
Brilliant!
Ryan is a metalhead. Fucking awesome.
Thank you @ryanholiday
The beautiful of ancient philosophy. its that you can applied that knowledge to this amazing moment in our lives. and if humanity learn how to management his own egos the world. would be completely different in any sense. by the way! awesome video :)
Love your example of the guitarist for Metallica. That's the difference between someone who creates from the heart with passion as a supposed to someone who does it for money. Wonderful, terrific presentation. It's just important to meet one's own needs. To go within and listen to your own guidance. I took over a month off on social media it was wonderful. Sure I missed it at first but, I've learned solitude is a good thing if you want to hear what you have to say to yourself. Thank you...do the next right thing. It's my moto to too!
Ryan Holiday 👏👏👏 You are the real MVP. Thanks for sharing and inspiring 😍❤️ “Amor Fati”
Marcus Aurelius: "Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
Ego is a edifice built out of the increasing self awareness of the mortal feeling child in relation to the world it lives in. What it is made out of becomes its expression. Usually it becomes a reaction to suffering and death.
Jalaja Bonheim’s book “ The Sacred Ego” has a unique positive perspective on the ego.
For me, inner scorecard makes most sense because lot of other things I am already familiar with and have been practicing lot of it with some success; inner scorecard and external scorecard is the key for me. It also keeps me humble and keeps me stay away from ego. After watching this video now I sleep well because now I know I am doing my very best and measure myself against my internal scorecard…I still need to find what I would like to have in my inner scorecard but I have few things and already helping me. I see this concept relatable to ‘ Not giving F**k’ mantra of Mark manson’s book.
“The greatest ego-trip around is getting rid of your ego.” - Alan Watts
You can’t avoid ego bc it doesn’t exist...it’s an idea you have about your who you are.
So what we should do?
@@pedroarrosi6324 That is the question. Isn't it?
Why do you need something to do?
Ego is like a persona that basis comes from other external factor, like telling yourself you’re the greatest. Like affirmations that you’re special, that you deserve the title or your great because of stats instead of doing things that you want. Ego will remove when you stop measuring yourself based on other people’s opinions and other worldly standards. That’s why when you remove your Ego it’s very liberating.
"Fake it till you make it." Another meaning: Act he way you want to be and one day you will become the way you act.
That's how I interpret this phrase.. Subconsciously we need to believe that we can achieve our goals..
Great🔝
18:18 good shit!

What's your opinion on the 50th law were Robert talks about people with a strong ego pg 262 I agree that ego is the enemy but do you think you should see ego as an ally and developing a strong ego if only for a day to develop a fearless attitude? Or do you think ego in all its form is useless?
Ego is temporary
Great talk Ryan. A lot to learn from. But if it had just a little bit of humour it would be so much more engaging as a talk.
I don’t think he has much of a capacity for quality humor.
He’s doing really well with what he’s been given.
We can all learn from Buddy! :)
Marcus Aurelius inspires me to waste as less time as possible. I'm currently improving my coding skills and created my youtube channel as a result.
hey all, what is the first in the list next to Ryan Holiday at the right side?
Wasnt it that motivation speaker that started saying edging god out (ego) I forgot his name.
