There are lots of videos about how to write a book, but rarely anyone documents the process. This is what I need Ryan, and thank you for inspiring me to finally start my research and write a book.
This is a brilliantly honest BTS. Although this is about the ups and downs of writing a book, it really can be applied to pursuing any long-term passion project. Bravo and thank you for releasing this.
This video was so valuable to me. Thank you, Ryan. Not just as an aspiring writer who needs to hear the story of discipline, but as a human being who needs to remember that the process is what is transformative, not the result.
I read Discipline is Destiny last month. The book changed my thoughts and therefore my life changed that much. Thank you Daily Stoic, and Ryan for your hard work and passion.
Man, book writing aside, I’m impressed that you video file management is good enough that you were able to film over two years and then actually have all the assets (and know where they are) when it was time to edit them into one video!
I'm so happy to have watched this this morning, taking notes of what Ryan says, while waiting for Dicipline is Destiny which is being delivered in only a few hours. Thank you Ryan for making this happen, and for all the hard work you put out to this world.
Anybody watching this for the first time after reading? Can’t imagine it being called Self-Discipline is Salvation - both great titles but Discipline is Destiny has a divine ting to it - as did reading the book!
THANK YOU so much for this video Ryan! I am in the midst of writing a children's book now on the Rhizosphere, soil fertility, and Regenerative Agriculture. This video (and your content in general) have been great guides and sources of wisdom for me🙏💜🤗
Absolutely loved this book. Bought it at an airport simply because of the title and finished it before I landed :) He definitely made the right choice on the title and although at the time I didn't realize it was the second book in the series I just ordered Courage is calling and cant wait to read that one as well.
I like the lo-techness of this video. Obviously Ryan has a whole team of assistants, and even a proper camera crew at times. But this video is Ryan just putting his phone on its little stand and documenting his process, and the key moments in producing a book. It feels personal, simple, and authentic.
Thanks for sharing how you write your books Ryan, you are great at it, I will read all your books. This is very inspiring, and gives me motivation and processes and how to use temperance for whatever I work on.
Such an intriguing portrayal of the book-writing process. Thanks for lifting the veil and allowing us to journey with you as accomplish such an awesome feat of self-discipline. As one who struggles with crippling procrastination I look forward to reading your work.
Thank you for not only writing the book, but also documenting the process so thoroughly. I appreciate the insights and look forward to listening to the audiobook - currently listening to Courage is Calling!
Have been following you for more than a decade. You are a real source of inspiration. Discipline to put out such great content whether be the daily stoic mails , books that you publish , video contents and podcasting with amazing guests requires highest level of consistency and perseverance. You have made a mark and inspired many. Loads of good luck and best wishes with Discipline is Destiny. Iam sure this will rock too. Cheers
An incredible look into your process. Totally riveting. Really feels like the culmination of all your work on this channel. Bravo to everyone involved making it! Thanks for openly sharing all your wisdom, Ryan.
Hey, I''m looking forward to reading this. I read The Daily Stoic almost every day, & love the things I learn from it. Thanks for hanging in there, dude.
Thank you for doing this & making it so transparent, practical and possible. For an aspiring writer who procrastinates constantly. Having to nail myself down to the chair, to just sit and do the work. It’s hard to force yourself but discipline is definitely the way through…. Thank you for oiling the wheel so to speak.
Look forward to reading the final product. Thank you for sharing this process with writing. Your previous videos have inspired me to start developing my commonplace book!
Thank you for showing the process! I've been mulling around the idea of writing a book and the way you expressed it as, just keep moving forward no matter how small is the push I need to just start doing something! Just pre-ordered the book today (I ordered the Audible one a while back) and looking forward it it!
Thank you for sharing this Ryan. I haven't read your books yet but I soon will, I'm just currently finishing Discourse and Writing of Epectitus first. 😀
Thank you Ryan for giving us a look into the entire process of writing a book and getting it published. Good luck with writing your third book in the series.
An exceptionally insightful video. I'm in my sixth decade and came to Stoicism through Ryan in the last year. My life past and present makes more sense.
Ryan - your commitment to the process and rigor with note taking and preparation is admirable. I appreciate you having the foresight and meticulous attention to detail to help aspiring writers.
Thanks for the perspective. I'm nearing the end of writing my book of incorporating stoicism into directing theater and working with actors. Your process has helped. Just got Discipline is Destiny in the Mail. Diving in.
Just ordered Discipline is Destiny here in Germany. The German version is as well out there - but still prefer the English version to hear Ryan`s voice I guess… Can`t wait to get it… Thanks,Ryan, for all your work!
This was the best book I have ever read and I have read all of Holiday’s books and many he suggests! It is amazing after reading to be able to see the process of it being written. As Holiday continues to bring Stoicism ‘into the arena’ as he says leading to part 3, he will put himself on the Mount Rushmore of Stoics by sharing this philosophy when the world has needed it most in all of history.
Thanks for sharing this Ryan, it was a real insight into your process, as well as the importance of showing up every day and chipping away at the goals we want to achieve.
I find the writing process fascinating, thank you for giving us a peak into your process and all thats involved into creating a book. Good luck and I look forward to the books release.
Joanne Bass is the highest ranking ENLISTED Airman. But we get the point. So dope that she played (even a minor) part in the title selection. Cant wait to read it!

There are lots of videos about how to write a book, but rarely anyone documents the process. This is what I need Ryan, and thank you for inspiring me to finally start my research and write a book.

Great meditation to start the day. Love the four virtues- courage, virtue, temperance, wisdom.

Hi Sir Ryan, I've read your Daily Stoic, truly life-changing, keep up!
Looks a bit like the Robert Moses desk. Thank you for sharing Mr. Holiday!
An exceptionally insightful video. I'm in my sixth decade and came to Stoicism through Ryan in the last year. My life past and present makes more sense.
So impressive. Relentless hard work. Mesmerising process.
Ryan - your commitment to the process and rigor with note taking and preparation is admirable. I appreciate you having the foresight and meticulous attention to detail to help aspiring writers.

Can`t wait to get it…

Much love, when's the next installment in the virtue series?
Ryan, where did you get the plastic bin organized for your cards. Amazon doesn’t seem to have it 😬
