You Have to Fight Jun 05, 2020

Show notes

"Maybe you don’t have to worry about being pulled over for little reason. Maybe you don’t have to worry about not getting the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you’ve never been in trouble. Maybe you know how to de-escalate tense situations, maybe you can afford a good lawyer. Maybe you’ve never been in the wrong place at the wrong time."
So why is racial justice still a you problem? Ryan explains in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

You Should Meditate on Greatness Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

"The Stoics were some of the keenest admirers of human greatness. Marcus Aurelius opens his Meditations with seventeen entries—nearly ten percent of the book—reflecting upon the various influential individuals in his life. Nearly every other page thereafter has at least one quote or one story or one mention of a story about his heroes: Socrates, Plato, Epictetus, Hadrian, Augustus, Heraclitus, Pythagoras, Diogenes—'When you need encouragement,' he wrote, explaining this practice, 'think of the qualities the people around you have.'"
Learn about the importance of reflecting on the best of those who came before us, on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

To Wrong One Is To Wrong All Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

"It’s easy to forget. It’s easy to think small.
But this life is not just about us. Our loyalty and duty is not just to ourselves, to our family, or to our immediate neighbors.
The Stoics believed that we were all one."

This Is a War We Are Fighting Jun 02, 2020

Show notes

"It would be easy to say that this is someone else’s fight. It is easy to say, as some pundits have said, that this is not a fight at all. You don’t go to war with a virus. That’s not how it works.
But according to Andrew Roberts, the great biographer of Churchill and Napoleon, that is exactly what is happening and exactly how this works."
Hear more from Andrew Roberts, and listen to Ryan discuss the importance of a total fight against the pandemic, on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

You Always Have The Power To Resist Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

"When one considers the notion of 'resignation and the principle of 'amor fati,' it might not seem like the Stoics and the idea of political resistance would go together. But this modern misconception would come as a surprise to the many tyrants and oppressors that found themselves in conflict with the Stoics over the centuries."
