Thanks for sharing these important points! These principles are truly essential for living a meaningful and happy life. What do you all think is the most important principle to start with? 🤔💬
Stoicism has changed my life. Whenever I start to fall away from it I feel like I start going back to those old bad habits of emotions. But Stoicism has a lot of answers for what I had for so long. I can't wait for Ryan Holiday's opinion on "Gladiator 2."
That's fantastic to hear TheNatural2379 Stoicism truly has a way of transforming lives and grounding us in those challenging moments Can’t wait to dive into Ryan Holiday’s thoughts on Gladiator 2 too!
Thanks for all you do. I would ask a favor: please lower the volume of the background music. As we age hearing goes soft. Also please state the title of each chapter of the talk so that when listening but not watching the subject matter is more apparent. Thanks for your consideration.
My late father was in a position similar to Marcus Aurelius in that he was always in a position to help someone who needed his help. I saw this quality in him throughout my life and heard this from many people after his death.
For item 1 “tell the truth” when they say “I’m going to be honest with you” what they really mean is “I’m going to be blunt or direct with you and it may hurt your feelings”
It was once said to me that Stoicism is like being a Buddhist on steroids when it comes to peace of mind, indifference to misfortune and general resilience, building strength of character. Stoicism was my first foray into ancient philosophy and I just love it.
i like saying “to be honest”, “if im being honest”, as a preparation for “my harsh opinion”. It’s like saying “I’m not trying to be mean” and then following it with genuine opinion, intended to be constructive. Not harmful. If i just outright say my opinion without adding that extra reinforcement it may come off as an insult and I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. And i never liked saying “no offence” because whenever someone said that to me, im always offended by what they said after it. By saying “no offence” it sets up this excuse to basically say anything on my mind without it being constructive.
May I please ask what the stoic philosophers mean when they said obey the Gods, why don't they just say God. Also, do stoic philosophers believe in Jesus. May you please make a video about that.
Good advice mixed with being lucky to be naive. Don’t cut people off and look for the good in people are very dangerous ideas when you have a good heart. Read “ healing from hidden abuse “ so that you have a basic understanding of people that don’t have good in them.
I would argue that Jesus was the ultimate Stoic. He practiced all of these virtues perfectly and also still the most influential person ever to live, even if you don't think he's the Son of God
I love Ryan's content, but struggle with his desire to dress like a 13 year old boy who lives in his mom's basement... Definitely not very stoic of me, it must be said.
He is an artist the way he creates these videos for us and you are not respecting his time or his work by insinuating the tools used to create it are stealing from someone who doesn’t exist

The trailer didn't do it any justice but the movie itself might be good.
@@MinutemenGeneral9974 agreed, I believe the 1st one had the same response for its trailer. I can't wait. Stoicism is awesome.

Was just jumping on to say the music is a distraction & unnecessary. IMHO.

People today will tell you he is a "people-pleaser" or "nice guy".
Very powerful message live by it and inner peace and harmony will come
Thanks, Ryan. Your consistency and messages are much appreciated.
Ryan, I hope you realized how much good you are doing to people. Thank you!
so true
For item 1 “tell the truth” when they say “I’m going to be honest with you” what they really mean is “I’m going to be blunt or direct with you and it may hurt your feelings”
Part of my daily life is watching your videos to learn I hope you keep continuing this.
I think Ryan secretly wants to tell us he's a metalhead
The Duality of Man
There's nothing secret about it🤘
Ryan, your daily newsletter is my morning routine.
Thank you for your great videos , they have changed my life so much.❤
Patience is truly a virtue.

Thank you Ryan, wow this is such good advice for life, appreciate it

Great meditation to start the day=]

I think this episode is still related to the Arthur Brooks episode. Something about Love.
Love this!❤
❤
Tell the truth 🙌🏿

Also, do stoic philosophers believe in Jesus. May you please make a video about that.
Check out the I Ching & Taoism etc for more like this ,very similar philosophies

The reason for the preface is to allow people to steel themselves.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did Maria Shriver really bad. Who was Arnold when no one was looking? But ok….
Alot of people hate these days also jealous too.
Reupload??
Basically, this video just describes a small town upbringing.
STILL WANT YOU TO WRITE MY BIOGRAPHY.
swartzeneger "screw your freedoms"
that't meaningfull thanks videos!
Stoicism is changing the world after religions have destroyed it. The world is back to reasons and enlightenment.
I would argue that Jesus was the ultimate Stoic. He practiced all of these virtues perfectly and also still the most influential person ever to live, even if you don't think he's the Son of God
I respectfully very much disagree with you.
Religion didn’t destroy the world. People destroyed the world in the name of religion.

Ryan Holaday has some shifty eyes.
Adding background music to videos is very sensory unfriendly to those who are not neurotypical.
First
I love Ryan's content, but struggle with his desire to dress like a 13 year old boy who lives in his mom's basement... Definitely not very stoic of me, it must be said.
A stoic doesn’t need to have an opinion about everything, especially how people dress. That’s quite unstoic.
Because he's wearing a Metallica shirt? I don't get it...would you say the same if he was wearing a shirt of a football team?
Is AI art stoic? Don’t use AI art. Respect artists time.
He is an artist the way he creates these videos for us and you are not respecting his time or his work by insinuating the tools used to create it are stealing from someone who doesn’t exist
Wow! Many many bad pieces of advice!
