Loved how Arthur talks about the importance of balancing busyness and idleness. It's such a hard thing to master, but when you do, life feels so much more fulfilling. Anyone else trying to find that balance?
This idea that life is hard is what most people need to get out of their entitlements thinking and always embrace the challenges of life as nothing but necessary things to make them grow. I am happy I got to know this idea lately and it has made me become more resilient, calm and competent. Life is hard But it is here to make me better. Thank you
40:00 What a great interview! When you asked this question: “What is the skill of collaboration in your unique way that you’ve honed to be able to operate or network with people with vastly different approaches to life? (The Dalai Lama, Oprah, a political think tank, a French hornist, an economist…) This is a superpower that makes you a person of interest on a whole level of your own.” I was like, “What a fantastic question that gets to the root of what makes Arthur Brooks so attractive, infectious, and fascinating!” 🌟👏🤩
Arthur Brooks' insights on embracing suffering really resonate with me. It's a powerful reminder that our challenges can shape us in profound ways. Anyone else finding comfort in this perspective?
@@daisygupta7571 🙋♂ Glad to see others resonate with this perspective! Embracing challenges can indeed lead to profound personal growth. If you're interested, my channel Live Kindly also delves deeply into Stoic principles and how they can help us navigate life's difficulties. 📚✨ Let's continue to support each other on this journey!
If Arthur Brooks had read On the Genealogy of Morals (Oxford World's Classics), he’d know that not only Nietzsche was not a nihilist in the sense that "there is no meaning, therefore, let's stop trying" but rather, he had an existentialist approach which was quite life-affirming in establishing "because there's no objective meaning hence let's invent our own". Overall I enjoyed the discussion. Just a note of feedback regarding the comment starting from 26:10
I just subscribed to arthur brooks and was thinking how ryan must already know him and there must already be a podcast episode with the two of them that i would have to eventually find. Very excited for this one!
Loved this, thank you! Ryan, you are the perfect host, the atmosphere in your talks is just completely inviting yet at the same time so inspiring. Really excited to get to see you live in Europe! xo from Sweden

You Two shutting on caffeine early morning sounds ridiculous. How else would someone find Happiness? Most people don't need to be that creative. But even then, a good cup of coffee would go a long way to make someone happy and creative.
Start with the stoic but don’t stop there. What a beautiful close.
Life is difficult, and when I accepted that realization, my life had totally changed from misery to ecstasy.

It’s a profoundly Catholic view on suffering. Much of what he says is based on his belief in Catholicism.
This is among my favorite interviews if not my favorite at the moment. Wonderful.
How did I not know about him until yesterday. I have to pause to make my notes. Brilliant
A real intellectual podcast. Thank you

Pain is inevitable suffering is optional.
We are not just our skills and talents. We are also the problem solvers.
Brooks name drops more frequently than someone who practices Stoicism, IMHO. Great talk overall, thank you both!

"The secret of happiness? Meth." - Arthur Brooks 33:58
Why does Ryan Holiday sound like Charlie from Smiling Friends? :D
I loved this but the "yeahs" and "yes'" by Ryan are a little bit annoying
he is active listening, brooks sounds like he is listening to respond
Not gonna lie found Brooks pretty difficult to listen to in this
🤙
when will the podcast feed be updated with this, thanks!

Sad Ryan has become such a soyboy
