Living Like A Stoic For 30 Days 

Insane how prolific Ryan is - what a work ethic and someone who always practices what he preaches 👏

You inspire me to restart my working life at 71 years old. I so respect your work ethic and energy. Thanks for the inspiration. In the next 30 days I will finish the book I have been writing for over two years.

I'm never disappointed when listening to you. I've begun my day listening to you Mr. Holiday. Thank you

My sister died on the 25th, (little under 2 weeks ago), then Sunday the daily stoic RU-vid channel found me. It’s been extremely helpful. I live in Austin and we had to drive to Lufkin which means driving through The town where the painted porch is located. Seemed like too much of a coincidence to not stop by. It’s crazy how life works. I was already super into Self help but stoicism feels like it found me. Not sure the point of my writing this lol, but thank you for the daily stoic and I’ll look into these books you recommended for loss. Strangely another coincidence.

Been recommending Ryan Holiday books for YEARS. I am super excited for Discipline is Destiny.

It’s easy to overcommit. I can so relate to this. This is a reason why I often get burnt out. Problem was in me => overcommitting. Being afraid to say no. Being afraid to disappoint others. Being afraid for the relationship to go the wrong way by me saying no.

Living such a life is inspiring others/me to evaluate "ARE WE LIVING THE LIFE WE WANT OR ARE WE SETTLING FOR LESS". As I start my 62nd year I REFUSE TO SETTLE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE.

I bought the Daily Stoic journal as a birthday present for entering the 30s. Striving to be a stoic! 🙌🏼

I'm on day 74 of your Journal Ryan, (using daily stoic too) I can't thank you enough for the all the short vids that got me into you. I'm in the best place that I've been in decades thanks to you and stoicism. ❤️

I can't tell you how grateful I am for this channel; I'm so glad I found it (by accident). This is changing my life so much for the better. Thank you!

Ryan Holiday thank you so so much man. You taught and showed me philosophy which introduced me to a new chapter in this life of mine. Thank you, bless you.

Ryan’s work ethic is something I genuinely strive for every single day

Thank you Ryan. For all that you give to your stoic community. For the stoic community. Its helping me to live a better life.

Yes, please share more content like this because it’s most helpful to see how you apply stoicism to your life personally! 🙌

Cant wait for this book. I LOVED the obstacle is the way. I value discipline highly

Sorry for your loss ryan may your grandma rest in peace ❤❤

So sorry for your loss. I'm amazed at the history ancestors have seen. I was just listening to a talk by a man who remembered talking to his grandparents who were the children of slaves. My mom was an army nurse in Vietnam and she passed last year (not COVID). May we always remember that every moment is the passing of history.

I love to apply these aspects to my life honestly helps so much thank you!

I have to read a lot for school. I find printing out the material, even though it is wasteful of paper, makes it easier because unlike reading electronic files, it's harder to be distracted with dead trees. They are also more convenient because they don't need to boot up, have their batteries charged, or need replaced if dropped. Going somewhere with a stack of papers and a notepad, and just reading.

I use the stoic philosophy to keep calm. Keep up the great work!

So very inspiring - thank you Ryan!

Awesome video - full of smart thinking. Thanks Ryan.

Oh Ryan what a gift you are… thank you

A fellow Iron Maiden fan. That's awesome

I find this video deeply calming and relaxing

Appreciate this vid and the behind scenes /day in the life style. + up the irons ! 😎🤘

You are amazing..... Loads of love n blessings.. Keep inspiring young n old.... 😍😍😍

Hi Ryan, Your Grandmother sounds like she was an awesome, courageous woman (unsung heroine, there are so many). Hope you dedicate one of your books to her.😊🌷💫 ThankYou💐also for the book recommendations. Good consciousness on saying no, it's huge b/c we can easily overcommit and sleepwalk through life. Love your videos!✴🧡✴

Your daily Stoic emails in my inbox are the best gifts for me.😊🙏🏻

Just bought your book 'Ego Is the Enemy' and can't wait to read it. Regards from Indonesia

Great video. Thanks for posting

Inspiring stuff.

Why are you so inspiring, so deep

Awesome video, please make more content like this!

Manu Ginobilli and Ryan Holiday, my true two passions! You should do a video together!

“Best of the beast” was the first Maiden album I got back in 1998…maaaan my Al time favorite band.

Thank you to spend a moment to mention Susan Cain and Introverts in general. Far too often they are misunderstood by the world or their surroundings. Looking forward to Discipline is Destiny !

Thank you.

Thank you for inspiring me sir

love the vlog vibe but still providing so much value. reminds me of the great casey neistat but talking about something different. Ofc casey still vlog goat. but ryan goat in terms of stoicism

Ryan Holiday is the man.

Yes. Life on life's terms.

Great meditation to start the day=]

I'm unsure why I haven't followed the stoic path until it was too late. Emotion seeped into my management style and I paid the ultimate price. Then, I stumbled upon a quote on instagram from the Daily Stoic... and I latched on. It's the last stage of my life, and I have squandered so much by being undisciplined, giving in to temptations, and poor decision making that can only be contributed to being unfocused and undisciplined. I'm not really worried about starting over. I've always seem to be quite the "boot-strapper" (much to OAC's chagrin), but I'm reading Marcus A., watching YOUR videos, and trying to unlearn and melt down the bad-habits I have forged into my very being. Thank you for sharing this... and I'm on board. (Also an author (fiction)) and trying to not stress and stay focused on the task at hand- starting over at 60. This helps. Thank you! (Subscribed and activated notifications!).

Great content.

Professionals get to work. So simple, so profound.

Morning routine: “wake up early”…I’ve already failed. 😆😜😥😩 Love your channel, Ryan.

Thank you for being a Master Copy.

Appreciate you and the daily stoic, your schedule is a different hamster wheel, perhaps listen to your advise and prioritize. Best of luck with your path, don't miss what's really important in life.

I live like a stoic every time I watch these videos.

Thanks Ryan 🙏

Extraordinary, how do u cope..... Runs on the beach talks in cafes, flights during the day, surviving on Starbucks, what a grind. I'd be curious of stoicism from the perspective of someone in Ukraine in a Fox hole for months and lost most everything. Enjoy yr run and travels, u r the man walking the talk. You regurgitate books many of us have already read, videos we have already seen no more no less, but does that make it stoic?

Nice And congratulations on the jre podcast

Rayn is a great Guy.

Great video! Love how he casually flexes that an NBA all-star had lunch with him lmao

Nice shirt!

You always can trust in a philosopher wearing an Iron Maiden shirt!!! Edit : I recently discovered your channel. Good stuff man!!

Well, I think I used my lunch break well watching this 🙂👍🏻

So cool

Hi ,new subscriber here.. what r the principles of stoicism,,what is actually “ living like stoic”? Any video. Is stoic journal in digital edition too?

Where's that long sleeved grey top from, brother? Very clean looking!

I need a video about how to live like a stoic with a family and little kids.

Hello Ryan, do you think starting martial arts can improve yourself as a human? Learning mindfulness and discipline and strength.

Nice tshirt 👍🏽

Sounds like it's a life in order following a structure that is the symbol of stoicism, emotions included.

How to keep yourself focust and positive when you don’t get what you really want for a longer period… but it is just not possible these days And when it makes you frustrated?

You're forgetting Guadalupe Mtns NP in TX

With regards to a certain predator named Harvey Milk: He used to "befriend" under age boys before "enjoying" their company. Apparently, when they started sprouting a little too much in the way of chest and pubic hair, he would end the relationship. Two of them committed suicide after he dropped them. Troubling, but then I guess more than one stoic had very similar proclivities.

I wish I could stand the "chill vibes" music cause this video is amazing. The background music is just so distracting to me.

Great

Commenting for the algorithm

🔥✅

Ryan for President…. Of the LA athletic club.

I swear this guy ONLY owns this Iron Maiden shirt 😂

That's awesome that you went to Navy. We can't let them beating Army go to their heads!!

Rip grandma stoic

The new Les Brown and Jim Rohn but more Stoic

My condolences on the loss of your grandmother. We’re picking blackberries here in Alabama as well. Delicious.

Waiting for the next Book …

Justice is not a compound word. There is no such thing as economic justice, racial justice, environmental justice - there is only justice. Compound justice does not reduce injustice, it simply shifts it to a different group. If we want justice, it should be for the purpose of reducing injustice, not shifting injustice to someone else.

how are you reading all this books in a month man?

Bro is getting cuter everyday just like a true Stoic

🎉

Ryan holiday is a male version of ufc fighters joanna..now I can't unsee that...love hi tho

I didn't know Jerry Seinfeld liked Iron Maiden.

You have a tattoo on your arm with ego is the enemy! Cool 😎

What do you think of your carbon footprint? Are your talks worth the damage to the environment?

What’s with the Iron Maiden shirt🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyone in the comments want to motivate me to stop procrastinating and code?

You have your grandmothers prominent jaw line! beautiful.

Makes Me Realize How Much Of A Lazy Piece Of Sh*t I’ve Been Lately.

You need to stop tatooing yourself with sayings or you'll end up looking like a newspaper article. Meditations, meditate, stillness, silence, stop, slow down, let the mud settle, quiet, apply the brakes, feel your hearth beat, become aware of the air entering your nose and follow it into your lungs and exhale again, become more present, as you become more and more quiet and still, and as you are reading these words become aware of the seer surrounding your body that is watching the person reading these words on the screen. Meditations.

You mean the daily stoic is not stoic every day?

I would be interested to hear your take on the stoic view of pride. I’ve always been disturbed by the term gay pride or pride month. It’s my understanding that at least in the Bible the pride is considered a sin. One should approach life with humility. And I wonder how the stoic view of life compares to that. I was hoping perhaps you could discuss that.

I'm yet to actually see where the "stoicism" is in this. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Why do you have that manic jump editing? It is very off putting from what are great videos.

Don't go to goddamn Florida!

is it Jordan Peterson in his youth?

"Living like a Stoic" yet caring enough to document and post about. Nah. This world doesn't seem real anymore with people like this on the net.
