This Is the Challenge We’re Rising To Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

"There’s almost nothing more difficult than other people. They’re just tough. They fall short. They get in our way. They do hurtful things. They surprise and scare and bewilder us.
This was true in the ancient world, just as it’s true today.. And perhaps nowhere in life is that challenge greater than in our own families."
Ryan describes how Stoicism can help you deal with the challenges of raising or being part of a family in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

So What Do We Do? Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

"It’s hard to argue that we are not beset by many problems as a society. Depending on where you sit, those problems might be different, and that’s its own problem in and of itself. But the good news is that the path to solving those problems is the same, regardless of what you sit: we have to turn to the Stoics, or at least their method of problem solving."
Ryan discusses a number of Stoicism-grounded methods that you can use to help deal with the issues of today's society in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

We Are Who We Honor Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

"It was Malraux who said that we judge a society by the monuments it puts up.

So imagine a society that puts up statues to tyrants, to someone who nearly succeeded in tearing an empire apart, who did horrible, inexplicably cruel things, even by the standards of their own time."
Ryan tells us why monuments dedicated to the Confederacy must come down in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

It’s Not Over Until It’s Over Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

"We have fought very hard, together, in an unprecedented display of global and national courage, justice, discipline and wisdom.

How many people have been saved from COVID-19? Too many to count. It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t handled perfectly. We didn’t do everything we could have, but we did a lot. You did a lot.

But before you congratulate yourself, you must remember what the Stoics said: that Fortune deceives us."
Ryan discusses what we must do instead of letting our guard down on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

They Still Hide Money In Books Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

"As a young boy, the famed basketball coach George Raveling learned an invaluable lesson about the power of both knowledge and ignorance from his grandmother, who raised him.
'Why did the slave masters hide their money in books, George?' she asked the young boy, standing together in her kitchen.
'I don’t know, grandma,' he said.
'Because they knew the slaves wouldn’t open them,' she said.
Learn more about George's story, and the importance of reading, in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.
