Your presentations helped me to pull out of a 40 year depression which was quite severe for years. Read into that what you will. I bought a five year journal and Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Thank you for helping to bring me to THE WAY. I have had a philosophical bent since early teens from reading Heinlein and Frank Herbert. This was a perfect fit for me.
Wow great to hear @wrmlm37, more power to you! Stoicism also definitely improved my life for the better. I think as a society we could benefit so much by further absorbing stoic philosophy, improving overall happiness. They should teach this stuff at schools
Can you give an example of what you might write? I want to start but I don't wanna be writing and writing just to find myself doing it wrong, like working out and being on your third set and have someone correct you to tell you you've been doing it wrong all along.
@@cdcm17 if you don’t mind me jumping in, I feel like the best way to start writing is to jump in and try it. The first time you ever try something, like the lifting example you used, it will probably always feel awkward. As for journaling, start small as well. Write a sentence or two about how the day went. Anything different that stuck out. Anything that may have made you feel a certain way out of the ordinary. Eventually you will find yourself becoming able to express your thoughts better on paper, but the first days of journaling and habit building are essential in my opinion. Best of luck
@@cdcm17 just start. There is No way to do it wrong. Sometimes i just write down a quote or what i am grateful for . Jump in and see what comes out of your mind.
I'm dealing w/anxiety, I think stemmed from depression, for the first time. I've always been pretty self-reliant and practical, etc., etc, but I'm observant and a thinker. My mind's always racing and with the world today, its tough not to get annoyed, angry to the point where I'm becoming more and more reclusive. I've recently started getting into Stoicism and meditating and I think the hardest part is where does one begin. I think for myself, I have to focus on what causes my anxiety the most and its detaching myself from things that I can't control (VERY HARD) and being strict with myself while being tolerant of others. I think a lot of the time they're related, but its not going to be easy, but I think at this point its a must.
How do you know what to write? Do you just write your inner monologue? Do you write from an observation perspective on what you are thinking about? Do you write current thoughts? Or thoughts you had throughout the day? My biggest journaling hang up is whenever my pen hits paper, my mind blanks.
A life hack I've been trying lately. When I'm down in the dumps, i've stopped denying my true feelings. I've stopped saying, 'Dagnabbit. I'm blue again today 😞. Cheer up. Think happy thoughts'. Instead, I accept. I say, "Hey, I am down. The hormones, some internal conflict, something's off. It's just a fact. Sigh.... THEN, paradoxically enough, I get this relief sensation. The mood lightens up somewhat. Conscious and unconscious have been aligned. TBC
This realization occured to me.. The fact that I am ongoing my studies and college is for the fact of experience and memories with people, I've so long gone with the idea of being anxious of not being able to pass this subject or this exam because of what not, I just made myself remember the fact that I study not for the grades but for the experience and being here at this moment, and this just makes me motivated to do my works when I have the time rather than be anxious and not doing anything at all, because I know the fact that not taking action now would just cause me to regret later on. I just want something fun to look back later on in life, because I know, this is the last 2 years of my time here at school, and I know I just want or rather make the best of it.
0:12 Actually, thanks to this, I do now. The one I struggle with is #8. Others say I'm worrying over things that haven't and may not ever happen, not preparing for all possibilities like I say.
Ryan, my 366 day journal just arrived yesterday. I thank you for producing an awesome journal, thanks. I love your videos, but sometimes they can be a little tough. But the is exactly what I need. I have a tendency to be lazy, but your videos about self-discipline and resilience really helps me to step out and do the work needed to achieve the goals that I have set. Thank Ryan.
Dear Ryan, I once for a brief second listened to you and you said: "Secret Law of Attraction is bullshit right?" and for some reason I was severely triggered that, to be frank, really hated if not disliked you. As I look back, this was so silly and foolish to hate someone just for a sound byte. Extremely childish. Now I had a shroom trip and made me courageous but old pattern of weed addiction and people pleaser comes back. I was hoping for some baby steps exercises to help me cultivate such stoicism. Personally, I thought of these. Feel free to list some to help me out. Peace brother. -cold shower -exercise -NOT responding to every tweet or post getting triggered -eating to live not living to eat (surviving on very little) -not talking unnecessarily -cleaning own's toilet etc Right now I am on my honeymoon period and it feels easy to cultivate stoicism. But I feel like I will fall back on earth and go back to being spoiled and mollycoddled.
Thanks so much for this, started my day reading Epictetus and really thinking about his notes on judgments (about oneself, external actors), and how that sentiment is echoed here a bit in training for adversity by controlling your own judgment on it.
This video beautifully explains the essence of Stoicism! How do you think modern society can incorporate Stoic principles to tackle rising mental health challenges?
This is the first content I have seen on philosophy and the stoic. And it's crazy that not more people talk about it as I see a lot of moden day people in these old Stoics like David Goggins, Andrew Tate, Muhamid Ali, Mike Tison, Wim Hoff. All these people and more do a lot of the things your talking about in this video and following the example of Stoic. Witch is really cool to see. As I try and follow the moden day people and learn from them. But now I know it goes back further and I can learn from the Stoic themselves. Many thanks.
I look at #8 Premeditation Malorum and think, why is our socity so supprised by weather? We know it's going to snow or an earthquake can happen, or a hurricane could level a city and possible take lives. Weather should be anticipated and prepared for......Great video, thanks for sharing.
10:27... huh... "I/You/We don't have too, I/you/we get to." is a phrase that I've been saying to myself, subordinates, and now children, for years. I know I didn't 'invent' the idea, but this is the first time I've heard someone else say it.
To be honest with you I wake up late in the morning.Because I take my bed after the midnight around 2am(sometimes dawn comes, I sleep). I am a student. I study a lot in the night. The core study time is evening to midnight. Even if I wake up early in morning I feel less productive. I am more alive in the night. So it clearly shows I am not with stoicism. Sir Rayan what is your advice to me?!
I think the essence is that you shouldn't OVER sleep. So as long as you're getting ENOUGH sleep but not too much, the actual time frame you keep isn't that important. Its just that getting up early is often seen as the opposite of laziness
@@kylegriffin8783 so they think that sleeping is like laziness, but nah. Sleeping just shows you have engouth discipline to take care of your health. Cuz most people dont want to sleep cuz it feels ''boring''
I am very sensitive and its very annoying but i am glad atleast i dont give up thanks to stoicism i can controll my emotions beterr now i still havr a long way to go but i feeel like i must not care about external events, like it doesnt matter to a stoic Example: people be mean to you, demean you, hurt you but you get hurt because you allow yourself to be which is wrong Never be a slave to external events you cant contrl them so accept them and move on improving yourself yes it is hard but ik pne day i will win
Hey just out of curiosity, how can you afford to have all those books stacked on each other in your store? Do you sell them or keep them there for the sake of appearance? Genuinely curious, love your channel & videos btw man, God bless!
Stoicism is cool because it was made because life sucks sometimes. Nothing we can do about it, so why cry. Just do what you can do and that is life, spending that much time worrying will make you seperated from the world by a glass box.
you are scared of dying but tell me, is the kind of life you lead any different than being dead moving forward begins with one thing, always: acceptance i don't have to do this, i get to do this don't say it's unfortunate that this happened to me, it's fortunate that this happened to me run towards adversity, embrace your fate. love it with everything
Or if instead of asking for an email so you can sell it why not just say where to learn the stuff like the meditations of Marcus Aurelius and the other books
Our reality is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves, printed upon the pages of the lessons we learned to tell ourselves. That’s why I love stoicism too because when my inner cynic raises cane and seeks to judge harshly the actions of others, I am reminded that the first (and perhaps only) violation of the other is against my sensibility. Yet, how much truth does my fickle sensibility hold…because if I learned Ryan was losing money on this activity or was making money but donating all of it or had scientifically devised a price that was meant to motivate the successful efforts of others or whatever…then the only person violated is my cynic, who has caused me to distrust rather than be free. What stoicism has taught me is the value of teachers, and for good teachers I am willing to pay.
I don't understand how this helps people. What problems would someone have that this would solve or help? Not being sarcastic, I'm literally doing research. Please help me understand.
This can help all sorts of problems it really comes down to mindset or getting you to think in a certain way. A lot of people's problems stem from their mind
Epictetus: "Freedom is secured not by the fulfilling of one's desires, but by the removal of desire."
“You are scared of dying but tell me is the kind of life you lead really any different than being dead?”
That’s big time
Dam
I’m not scared of it idk why though
Ryan has changed my life and I've never met him, yet.
Mine too. I hope to tell him in person someday.
How so? I dont understand this.
@@johnswag7083 simply, he introduced us to stoicism
@@seaweedglob and how does that help? I don't understand the concept of stoicism yet.

hey I've been struggling with a very similar thing I wondering how your journey has been since then and if stoicism helped get your anxiety at bay
Amor fati is probably the best thing about stoicism
I appreciate how you made Stoicism relatable to everyday struggles. Could you create content on Stoicism and time management?
you know you want to make radical changes in your life when you search for this
proud of u doing that :)
This stuff is so much better quality than a lot of AI-generated videos about stoicism, thank you!
I feel like I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time.
Loved how you simplified Epictetus' teachings! Could you share practical exercises for cultivating Stoic virtues in daily life?
Thanks for turning a confusing topic into something simple.
Thanks for your existance Marcus Aurelius
Your content is always so well-organized and informative.
The fact is we all say tomorrow we are gonna do XYZ . Just start now ^\^ . Start small! That’s progress too
Your content is always so straightforward and helpful.
I love your reflections based on these philosophers. Philosophy is intense.
Your analysis of the Stoic perspective on death was deeply thought-provoking. Could you explore how this contrasts with existentialist views?
This is what young kids need to learn, not from Andrew Tate, not misogyny, but Stoicism.
Your explanations always hit the mark, thank you!
How do you know what to write? Do you just write your inner monologue? Do you write from an observation perspective on what you are thinking about? Do you write current thoughts? Or thoughts you had throughout the day?

yo should make book on stoic that is completely relevant in modern world with reasonable examples and reallife solutions and tips
he wrote many

This journey has killed me and gave me life

As much as love stoicism, sometimes I can't help but be mad cynical about all this: "Stoicism 101: give me your Money! - signed, Ryan Holiday"
Kinda
Is it really unethical? In any case, he won't stop doing it and people will buy it wether you like it or not.
Our reality is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves, printed upon the pages of the lessons we learned to tell ourselves.

What stoicism has taught me is the value of teachers, and for good teachers I am willing to pay.
Biggest takeaway, tell yourself, "I don't have to do this, I get to do this."
I can appreciate the message and the philosophy but I certainly wouldn’t want to share an elevator with Ryan.
