Ryan explains why he avoids personal stories in his <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/products/limited-edition-stoic-virtue-series" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Stoic Virtues</em> series</a>, a research skill he learned while working for Robert Greene, and what most writers get wrong. James opens up about his renewed obsession with an old passion and the painful truth of chasing a past version of yourself.</p><br><p>James Altucher is the podcast host of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQlx2klE_aNrPhz2OyKRdg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The James Altucher Show </a>, an investor, venture capitalist, writer, and an expert in emerging technologies like crypto and AI.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Follow James on Instagram @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/altucher/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Altucher</a> and X @<a href="https://x.com/jaltucher?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">JAltucher</a></p><br><p>Watch Ryan's latest interview on The James Altucher Show: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTe49rKcAEA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTe49rKcAEA</a></p><br><p>📚 Grab signed copies of James’ book <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=james+altucher*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Choose Yourself!</em></a> at The Painted Porch | <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=james+altucher*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thepaintedporch.com/</a></p><br><p>📖 Preorder the final book in Ryan Holiday's The Stoic Virtues Series: "Wisdom Takes Work":<a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/wisdom-takes-work" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/wisdom-takes-work</a></p><br><p>🎙️ Follow The Daily Stoic Podcast on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoicpodcast/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoicpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/dailystoicpodcast</a></p><br><p>🎥 Watch top moments from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dailystoicpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Stoic Podcast</a> on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dailystoicpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dailystoicpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@dailystoicpodcast</a></p><br><p>✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
