I studied, uh, classical studies and ancient history, um, at university. How much had you been, uh, aware of stoicism and what it meant? Like how, how new it was it for you? Well, actually here's a, uh, almost an Easter egg or perhaps a surprise to the listeners. Um, Um, I'm interested, Matt, before we started studying, uh, Ryan holiday and stoicism. How cool is that? That we are diving into a world of thoughts originating from two, 3000 years ago, and we are finding them to be perfectly of the moment. And so what we see in stoicism is all sorts of really awesome exercises that help us live the best life that we can. And so philosophy was a way for them to get through life and to get through life effectively, happily. They had normalize lots of responsibilities. Marcus really is, is the emperor of Rome's, you know, was a merchant. It's easy to think that philosophy is this sort of abstract thing that it's just exercises or thought exercises are just big words, but the truth is an ancient philosophy. Let's hear from Ryan holiday, introduce us to Stoics and philosophy. I'm fired up, Mark, where are we going to start this journey with Ryan holiday? Let's look to the man himself, the well-known marketer, and now appreciator of the timeless art stoicism. Or as we often say here on moonshots, embracing the discomfort. And it added its root is all about enduring hardship. Gone back a few, a few millennia and re a Polish to recontextualized stoicism for a modern world. Thanks to the hard work of Ryan holiday, who has truly. And we not only have a show today that is going to be full of stoic thinking ideas and pragmatic things that you can do to improve your day.īut we're going into a four-part series. It has had the devotion of some great, uh, philosophers, uh, some great men of history, such as Marcus or really us. Like, so we're talking BC here, ladies and gentlemen, so a long time ago. And so it stems from our ancient Greece way, way, way back in the day. I can't think of a more appropriate word there Mike, than the word timeless they've been around for thousands of years. To uncover, we'll be reminded of some of these key practices and lessons that fundamentally are absolutely timeless. And how good is it when you get into this whole idea of stoicism? I mean, it's like you said a second ago, it couldn't be more perfect timing for all of us to pick up the book, to listen to the show, to really dig into Ron holiday's work, but also stoicism as a general genre. To the very heart of an ancient practice, which is called stoicism. And he's gone from talking about his media and marketing days. So he's got, uh, there's a real, uh, creativity in, in not only the stories, the details, but how he tells them. Uh, so he, uh, was a very famous, uh, marketing guy and, um, He actually wrote a book called trust me, I'm lying confessions of a media manipulator, which is just great. And what's, what's, uh, really impressive about Ryan holiday is he had a very, um, you know, successful, uh, Korea before writing. And what a, what an amazing introduction to stoicism. Um, mostly, uh, or at least originally from the book that we're covering today, Mike, which is called the daily stoic. Holiday has become pretty globally renowned. With our, uh, one of our favorite authors and original thinkers, as well as historians, I'd say Mr. Mark, where are we going in the world of mindsets today? Marks episode of one of four. We realize how perfect it would be to start a brand new series in January, 2021. I love that century one, one, one, and it is going to be a real, a real knock out this one, because we're going to go into our practice that when we planned this show, I don't think. What a lucky number? To beginning a new series on 111. Hello and welcome to the moonshots podcast. Ryan holiday: the daily stoic episode 111
