This website has had a profound impact on my life and I am ever so grateful to you Mr. Holiday for sharing those insights and the wisdom of the Stoics with the rest of the world. My days are fuller and more peace-filled. You are in inspiration to do good, be a better human, and be more thoughtful. Thank you!
The source of all reason, shall not be ignored. As hard as a man may try, the source of him is there in every moment. Try to ignore it and you risk going against the nature that is at the core of all things. Mind your step.
"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way"
Marcus Aurelius
Thank you Ryan Holiday. I've learned so much from you, and guiding me in what stoicism means and HOW to put it into action in my own life. I try. Far from Stoic I'm sure, but it's a worthy practice and worthy of putting effort into. Stoics
short version for review & pondering
1. Learn the difference and don't worry about stuff you can't change.
2. Our interpretation of events determines how we feel, not the events.
3. Discard your ego so you can learn from everyone and everything.
4. Tough times show our true mettle.
5. Don't talk about your philosophy: embody it.
2. That's a pretty nice translation/interpretation/simplification.
Very much appreciated thank you sir
Ryan another absolutely outstanding video, full of wisdom and impeccable content. We can learn so much through Epictetus as not only was he wise beyond belief, but he also lived by the way of his words and conquered so much adversity and allowed it to let him grow as a human. And we all need to look for positives in every situation, regardless of how bad it is. The situation can't always be changed but to take some form of positive from it, is of paramount importance. Best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family buddy
These are great
1. In life our first job is this, to divide and distinguish things into two categories: externals i cannot control, but the choices i make with regard to them i do control. Where will i find good and bad ? In me, in my choices.
2. It is not events that disturb people, it is their judgements concerning them.
3. To throw away self conceit. For it impossible for a man to begin to learn that which he thinks that he knows.
4. The true man is revealed in difficult times. So when trouble comes, think of yourself as a wrestler whom god, like trainer, has paired with tough young buck. For what purpose? To turn you into olympic class material.
5. Never proclaim yourself a philosopher: show them by actions.
Ryan, you talk too fast to grasp the concepts put forth.

Epictetus ... my favorite stoic ..
Such a great channel ♥️
I fell in love with epictetus from one of your videos i will thank you in my journal lol d
I've been reading about stoicism since the beginning of the lockdown. Really helped me get through it!!
Memento mori
I feel Amor Fati is most apt here, you were fated to find stoicism at the time you did. Let it fortify you and guide you on the journey of your life.
One of my favorites from Epictetus:
"From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do - now."
Best yet, Ryan...my humble opinion.
Where is truth found ? Is it our own perception by choice or is there a fundamental truth ?
It's Both, Intertwined: Universal & Unique ...One Becoming the Other & Vice Versa, Going on Forever, Creating & Recreating Each Other, Universal Creating Unique & Unique Creating Universal. It's Actually Oneness & Separatedness Simultaneously
Talent works for fame and fortune. The motive which moves genius to productivity is less easy to determine.
Does the Daily Stoic still do Q&A videos?
Ryan I like the fact that you are not an academic. You bring philosophy to life and to the people. The professors keep it for themselves and analyze it dead, without trying to implement it in their lives for a second. Criticizing the cook without having tried one of his meals…
Last one hit differently
“Asked, who is the rich man? Epictetus replied, He who is CONTENT.”
Thank you for your work Ryan it really helps me as I try and put my life in perspective. 🙏🙂
Epictetus is Brilliant :) Embodiment of Personal Truth is Obvious in Every Moment, it's as it is & it's all around (Everybody & Everything is the Embodiment of the Truth that is Practiced Daily)...The Talking is Also Important :) the Video is Doing Just That: Talking, Forwarding Knowledge, Talking & Speaking as an Action too :) How Would Otherwise Epictetus Forward All this Greatness into His Followers? Therefore it's Important both to Embody & to Eloquently Express Self according to Given Moment in Time 💓
Welp... Now i can't spread the wisdom...
Ryan. Thank you!
Lovely video, thank you for sharing with us!
You can' t grab all the sands in the shore..even if you grab a handful of sands..some of the sands in your hand will fall to the ground...
I don’t live my life based on anyone’s life advice, opinions and beliefs because it’s not my responsibility to live up to anyone’s
expectations
This guy doing the reading straight left out the mention of God in one of h Epictetus quotes.
True slave is the one who can’t control his emotions
Epictetus is my favorite of the Big Three Stoics, at least based on what I've read from each thus far. I am constantly reminding myself of the ideas and concepts he speaks of as I go throughout my days and encounter setbacks, obnoxious people, and other events out of my control.
Which book of Epictetus would you recommend?
Arun Sawdekar Epictetus - Discourses and selected writings (Penguin Classics translation).
Have a great rest of your day!
@@arunsawdekar820 - I really enjoyed The Art of Living: the Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness and Effectiveness, as interpreted by Sharon Lebell (Kindle version). It's written in a very modern, readable prose, and I found myself highlighting just about everything in there; I've also gifted it. I also have The Good Life Handbook [Enchiridion], as interpreted by Dr. Chuck Chakrapani, but I can't remember off the top of my head how much I've read or my overall impression of that translation (another reason to re-read these regularly).
Honestly, though - as Ryan has mentioned in various DS podcasts and emails, I think there's a lot of value in reading different translations of the same works. IIRC, there are some free/very inexpensive ebook versions available on Amazon, so there's no real downside to giving those a go. I might give Joe's Penguin Classics recommendation a try :D.
Ryan talks about and recommends the Hayes translation of "Meditations", and I think at some point, I'll probably get a hard copy of that, but I have the Oxford World's Classics translation by Robin Hard (again, an ebook), and I find it also very readable. I should state that I really dislike stuffy, overly verbose and antiquated translations of anything (one of a dozen reasons I'll never read the KJ version of the Bible, for example), and these translations are not that.
Background music?
Great video Ryan. Which version of Enchiridion and Discourses do you recommend to read?
“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”
― Confucius
"The best revenge is not to be like your enemy"
Marcus Aurelius
@@mrw9513 I love it. But to my experience, not many can do that.
@@QuestionEverythingButWHY totally agree, it involves removing all anger and emotion from what's occurred and deciding that any type of retaliation isn't of your own best interest. Which can be tough in some situations, but achievable with careful contemplation.
@@mrw9513 which one do you think is difficult, controlling impulse or forgetting the "enemy" after a while?
@@QuestionEverythingButWHY personally I think the hardest thing is not retaliating to what has been done, as for most our lives we react out of emotion. But a month or so later, think I wish I hadn't done that now.
Thanks for this.
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
Epictetus
Bro do you watch every philosophy channel ever? I see you on Russel Brand Aangel, einzelganger, self developed Nathaniel drew. Even on channels I've only clicked on once. Shit I watch too much.
I suppose if he does then it's a much more productive use of his time than observing the post-modern deconstruction taking place around us on social media.
Which is this book ?
Shouldn't the accent be on the "pic" not the "tet"?
Good video
Music to the soul. Especially now that we blame politicians, vaccines, non vaccines, air travel & custom border people, again politicians & doctors for the actual state of affairs....but we don't vote💞😃😋 just tweet....We are really yet very infantile. Brilliant content. Soul & Heart saving content. Ahhhhh....Sanity❤🌷
the discourses of Epictetus changed my life. I am reciting the prayer in the book every day: Under no circumstances I will find fault with god and his gifts, I WILL NOT SHY AWAY FROM LIFES ESSENTIAL TASKS AND TRIALS. Lead me oh God lead me oh destiny to the goal I was long ago assigned. If my will proves weak, I must follow still. Fate guides the willing but drags the unwilling. The book is so full with wisdom that it cannot be digested in one read. I am re-reading it on and on finding new jewels all the time. It stresses one of the most difficult aspects of human existence, which is accepting fate and use every hardship to improve in virtue, the only thing that matters, because after all the only thing in our control is our character.
There are only 4 things you have control of . Your 1. Aim 2. Opinion 3. Desires 4. Aversions .
Absolutely stupendous, Thank you Ryan, You're a beautiful soul, I'm glad I have found you. 🫂🌹💫😍😀✌💖😁🤗
Hey guys which is the best book of Epictetus thank I can audio listen ?
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
― Marcus Aurelius
The God's of power frowns on the frivolous.They give ultimate satisfaction
to those who study and reflect and punish those who skim the surfaces looking for a good time.
Therefore, embody your philosophy, dont just talk about it but act on it.

You're videos are the best 👌🏽
stoicism is great new addition on my journey for health. been low carb for 2 years .dropped 40 lbs at 53 and over 2 years later have kept it off.I make sleep a priority. stretch and exercise daily and now the icing on the cake is "Daily Stoic". We can all learn to accept life's challenges as they come and choose not to react negatively to adversity. Thanks Ryan
Being a high-carb whole food plant based vegan I dropped 40 pounds in 10 weeks while gaining muscle mass.
Carbs are not the problem. Refined carbs (table sugar, refined flour, corn syrup) is. Any diet avoiding those will be successful in loosing weight.
And some are better for your overall health than keto is.
@Julio Cesar Pedroni da costa Junior
You don't have to educate me on the topic. Going by your response I know way more about the topic than you do. You have a advanced laymans grasp on the topic. Cudos for that. But there is tons of knowledge you are still missing. For example you are limited to the physiological aspects. Psychology plays a big part as well, and refined sugars are highly addictive.
@Julio Cesar Pedroni da costa Junior
A great day to.you too.
Wasnt trying to start a debate on diet.just making health a priority and adding stoicism for body and mind health.low carb meat based works for me .
That’s wonderful ♥️♥️♥️
How does one discern whether something is or isn't within our control? Sometimes it's obvious other times, not really. Help.
There's a few ways. can I change it or is there anything I could do about this or that. And if both of those come back as no, then it's beyond your control and let it trouble you no further.
On the moment
Nice
Love this stuff, Ryan. All the best from Sweden :)
😊
What about catharsis?
Shown by psychology to not work at all a lomg time ago.
tks for sharing. for sure I admire Epictetus. Big huges from Brazl, Rio de Janeiro.
Your website ain’t working...
I give thanks to Epictedus.! For he has given me insight to who I'm and who I need to be.
when the views actually match the likes
I agree that there are choices to be made. I do not agree with the current use of victim blame by shifting social inequity onto victims by way of sighting their “choice”.
Yes!!! Big love from another youtuber 🤘🔥🤘🔥
Everywhere is self help book paralysis.
Shed light on this particular topic.
Shall we read more self-help genre and if this is the case how to embark it properly.
How did 25yr old Ryan managed this?
Why did you skip over "whom God , like a trainer"?
...as he talks about his philosophy! 🙄😉
You left out "whom God, like a trainer" at 4:53 minutes. Why? Are you an atheist? Do you not believe in a God that is all powerful? For that reason you will fall short.
