Episode notes

i sort of thinkg about it as priming, like the space has to evoke the mood or the tone that you want. I have a picture of oliver sacks with a no sign next to my desk. i've a little statue of marcus aurelius. I got some pictures of my kids. And so it's as if, for you, like your priming's beyond just the spaces in which you work. It's the the spaces, the Spaces in which you live....

In this episode of Deep Questions we try something a little different: our first guest!

Bestselling author Ryan Holiday joins me to help answer reader questions, as well as more than a few queries from me. We cover a variety of topics, including his life as a writer living on a ranch, how he fosters discipline, the impact of our diminishing reading culture, and why everyone keeps trying to get me to move to Austin.

Be sure to check out Ryan's new book: LIVES OF THE STOICS (https://dailystoic.com/preorder).
