Episode notes

The cardinal virtues in stoicism and christianity are courage, temperance, which means self discipline, justice and wisdom. So i am doing a four book series on those, courage being the first. Justice is something akin to the golden rule riht, like treating people the way you would like to be treated. And we get that from experience, from study, from mentors and from life.

Stoic philosopher and author Ryan Holiday shows us how to use the ancient philosophy to calm our mind and create a foundation for lasting success. Listen as Holiday takes us behind the scenes, revealing how he not only reads books and what he looks for, but his process for writing and retaining information he can later put to use. He also discusses what he writes and reads, why he journals, and the four virtues of Stoicism. Holiday is a New York Times bestselling author. He has written a combined 10 books, covering both the fundamentals of Stoicism as well as key elements of modern-day marketing and media, and his books have sold more than 2 million copies in 30 languages. His most recent release is entitled Courage is Calling. -- Want even more? Members get early access, hand-edited transcripts, member-only episodes, and so much more.
