Your New Stoic Role Models for a Stronger Life

À propos de cet épisode

Virtue is not a theory. It is something you practice. In the moments where you could overreact. In the moments where quitting would be easier. In the moments where doing the right thing costs you something.In this episode, Ryan explores the four Stoic virtues through conversations with people who actually live them. You’ll hear from a fighter pilot who shows courage under pressure, a marathon runner disciplined in daily practice, a historian who reframes justice as action, and Ryan himself on treating wisdom as a lifelong pursuit.📚 Get a signed copy of each of the books in the Stoic Virtues Series: Courage is Calling, Discipline is Destiny, Right Thing Right Now, and Wisdom Takes Work🎥 Watch the full episodes on The Daily Stoic YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videosSilence the 5 Inner Critics DESTROYING Your Confidence | Combat Fighter Pilot Michelle CurranCEO of The Atlantic Nick Thompson on Stoic Lessons From SuccessWhy Do We Hate Our Jobs?
