This Is Where They Get You Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

“The author Sebastian Junger does not own a stroller, even though he has two young kids. When we had him on the Daily Stoic podcast recently, he explained that he doesn’t really need one—because he can carry them both, or carry one while the other walks. It makes for good exercise. But it was also a philosophical issue for him.”

Ryan discusses why you should always work on being close to your children.

Don't Thrust Them Away Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

“Of course, they can be annoying. Painfully so. They scream in your ears. They ruin your clothes with their food and dirt-covered hands. They can cut off your air supply as they crawl onto your back for a piggyback ride. Yet you have to absorb this. You can’t thrust them away. Even though it hurts. Even though you love this shirt. Even though you can’t breathe. ”

Ryan explains why you must control your emotions as a parent.

What Message Are You Sending? Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

“Ten or twenty years from now, they won’t remember the Princess breakfast that you spent hours and hundreds of dollars arranging for the first morning of their first trip to Disneyland. It’s more likely that they’re going to remember something you can’t possibly predict. Something small, and seemingly insignificant to you right now.”

Ryan explains what your kids will actually remember.

Why You Must Bring This Home Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

“So many moments of greatness can be traced back to this. Where did an athlete’s love of the game come from? Where did the scientist’s curiosity come from? The novelist’s passion for story? The philosopher’s quest for truth? A politician’s love of history?”

Ryan explains how to cultivate a love for reading in your children.

There Must Be Hope Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

“A lot has happened in your life. It’s rightly made you cynical about some things, be it politics, relationships, or other people. A lot has happened in history, too, and anyone who has ever read a book will have trouble shaking the fact that a lot of lies have been told, a lot of horrible rigging of the system has happened and a lot of that contributes to the mess we’re in now.”

Ryan explains why nothing is irredeemable.

Would It Change Anything? Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

You Can't Be Remote Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

“Anyone who has read about aristocratic British parenting can’t help but be appalled. Children were not only not seen, but not heard from—for years. They were shipped off to schools. They were expected to carry incredible burdens and deliver on the aspirations of their family, with little to no concern whether their personal aspirations were aligned in the slightest.”

Ryan explains why you must be present with you kids.
