Thank you, Ryan, for all of the content that you post. It really has helped me over the past couple years. And of course your books have been invaluable as well. Keep up the great work ❤
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius. One of the reasons stoicism spoke to me is because of my temper and frustrations with others. I get upset when people don't live up to the standards I think they should. It has been something I have struggled with for a long time. It always leads to tension and strife, both internal and external. The part after "Tolerant with others. Strict with yourself" is something I needed to hear. So once again, I thank you.
if you say 1 more time Marcus Aurelius.. lol joke i was using alot of stoic principle in my life but you surely helped me get way more of them, and more solidified and clear. they are hugely advantagous in this chaotic world.
You are serene magnificence of content and presentation. I met you once at The Painted Porch in April of this year. At that time I had no idea of the master that you have become. You are using IT all. You are certain to die EMPTIED. You are Amazing. Thank you. Teresa Holdaway
The eyes on the prize documentary ranks among the best doumentaries, the same quality as many of the Ken Burns documentaries. Great Saturday meditation!!
I would enjoy reading the first chapter of Ryan Holiday Meditations. I am 50 and because Ryan put out these videos I bought and read Meditations and I can only wish I had a first chapter that could contain mentors. Just wondering how one so young finds this wisdom for my life is different now. Thanks.
Lou Gehrigs disease was found in later years to be caused by stress and not slowing down in life. His punishment for pushing thru was ALS. I love stoicism but pushing one’s self beyond the limit is counterproductive
Dear Ryan Holiday, I'm a fan. So I speak with love. I know that you are prepared for death. But I wish that you had read more history books. Lately, when I've watched your videos, you're all about how to optimize a limited lifespan. I mean that's all well and great, and more power to you if you're trying to appeal to the hyper vigilant that feel that they are somebody. If, you're all about that, then go be you. Just that I believe that there is true great wisdom in you. Account for the 12,000 generations that came before you. What has their anxiousness about the shortage of life wrought them? Be bigger than the money that you are chasing. Stop being important. Just be you. The Ryan Holiday that is greater than the sum total of mankind. The Ryan Holiday is far, far, far greater than Robert Greene. Be that Ryan Holiday, then I'll believe you.
I can see that. I can also see that not everything is innovative, and sometimes just putting into practise what you've learned and putting in your 10,000 hours is what is needed, along with reminders of why you're spending so much time practising.
That’s because Marcus Aurelius only has 12 chapters in his book meditations. So Ryan only has a small well to draw from. And if you read it, he doesn’t have much solutions for things, he has alternatives to problems, not solutions. Where is the school of stoics today? Buddhist have over 1 million temples, Hindus have close to a billion shrines, Muslims have over 500 million mosques, Christian’s have over a billion churches, where is the school of philosophies for stoics? No where, at best the most similar academic places are colleges, not even 10,000 colleges in the USA or Europe or India or Africa, and that’s an academic thing, not a stoicism foundation. Stoics never made it into a religion, because it never worked, even the creators of their ideologies ditched it, the Roman’s went for Christianity, this is mentioned in the Bible in the book of acts, Paul contends with stoics and epicureans, in Athens, collossa, Thessalonians, Roman’s and more, and he converts them, they tried debating with him, with philosophers, but Paul carried the scriptures of the abrahamic statutes and commandments given by all the former prophets, Solomon, Moses, David, Job, isiah, Jesus etc. this is why Europe today is mostly Christian not stoic philosophers. Stoics were literally stupid and idiots. Literally.
@@connorstar164 You're comparing apples and oranges, friend. Philosophy is not religion. Philosophy is the handmaiden of religion. Old Hellenism involved a state or ethnic religion, one or more Mystery religions and any number of schools of philosophies. For Rome before Christianity, Sol Invictus was the state religion/imperial cult, while the Mysteries of Eleusis, Mithras and even Christ were celebrated (look up the disciplina arcani). Around the time of late Stoicism, you also had what we call today Neoplatonism and Neopythagoreanism running amok. The purpose of philosophy at that time was to assist people in their daily lives with practical notions, just as the imperial cult was to ensure the prosperity of the Empire, and the Mysteries were there for people who wanted to understand the higher aspects of life, especially the spiritual. Stoicism was never designed to take the place of religion. It was designed to help it. Which is why you can find a lot in common, or not much contention, between Stoicism and both modern Catholic practises as well as modern Buddhist practises. You can be an atheist and still practise Stoicism. Same goes for Catholics and Buddhists.

Yet like modern atheist, they have whack ideologies, evolution, big bang, and some man made bullshit never proven, pew research along with World Health Organization and national institutes of health, show that atheist commit suicide 10x more than all the 5 major religions in the world, that is a failure. Mock all you want. And soon all of stoicism people are taking the same path, while we spiritual and religious gain life, you morons tout you don’t fear death yet are the first to commit suicide. 😂 Go on with ya clown.
I’d rather just master having a good relationship with God. Everything else will fall into place. Stoicism leads to death as a man made philosophies, created by idiots.
All philosophies are man made, especially the religious ones. That's the correct definition; man made, not God made. All life leads to death, yours and mine. One day you will be dead. The rest of the days, you are not. To think otherwise is delusional. What you choose to do with those days, God has already told you what to do. God has already provided you the tools to live a good life including creating men such as the Stoics to teach you that.
@@seanbeiko5066 Ha ha, Stoics rebelled against God, Marcus was an agnostic, he says in his book of meditation, if the Gods are good, they should be praised, if they are bad they should be disregarded. That’s agnosticism, not a man of faith. David never doubted god and is why we all turn to the Bible not some idiot philosophers.

You are clueless, the Bible has over 2 billion followers, how many people follow stoicism? No where. It never made it into a religion because they don’t work. Religions which by definition of the Greek word, religio, means to bind, to latch onto, means it works. All the stoics and epicureans through out time, committed suicide, yet all the abrahamic religions from Judaism, Christianity and Islam served God given laws, commandments and statutes by the prophets like Moses, Abraham, David, Solomon, all the way to Jesus. Over a billlion churches world wide because of this, you can’t even name 10,000 schools of stoicism, because philosophies are man made moron, religions are knowledge and wisdom given by higher powers. Go read a book for once.
You may want to reassess who is the idiot. Religion is an entirely man made construct. Whilst there are elements of virtue in them (and I would argue even that is diminishing, some of your evangelists seem driven by wealth not charity) at least in the early days, it was all about control. Finally whether you agree with stoics or not, these are some of the world's great thinkers. Before social media, tv etc and we are still remembering then. What will society know of you in only 100 years?
You sound like a Christian that also thinks “science” is bad and you can learn everything about the world from the Bible. When in reality, Christianity is totally compatible with both science and the ideas of stoicism. Don’t complain. Deny the flesh. Work hard. Do the right thing no matter how you feel about it. Virtue is better than vice. If u think the idea of stoicism are in opposition to Christianity you need to learn more about your religion and learn to take back from the world what originates with God in the first place.

Dat dood ain’t give a shit about stoic principles. Probably thinks the stoics were a bunch of woke bums
Type correctly. and I'm not negative 😊
Is something wrong with audio?? I can hear an echo 😢😢

Great, now legalize it.
Lou Gehrigs disease was found in later years to be caused by stress and not slowing down in life. His punishment for pushing thru was ALS. I love stoicism but pushing one’s self beyond the limit is counterproductive
That is if done too much
Stoicism promotes temperance too
You got to push your limits enough but not too much, we must find balance
LGD caused by stress this was debunked sorry
LGD is NOT caused by stress.
Lou Gehrigs disease was/is ALS. Need to stop calling it Lou Gehrigs disease 😂 We need to use scientific names and not pop culture names

And there’s been a lot more than 12,000 generations 😂 humans been around for over 200,00 years
