The Daily Stoic

Adam Kinzinger on Standing Up For The Truth

<p>Adam Kinzinger was 1 of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump back in 2021 following the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Now, as we head into the final days before the 2024 election, Adam joins Ryan to talk about looking beyond politics at the bigger picture of humanity. Adam shares his perspective on how Stoicism can be a solution for toxic masculinity, the impact that shame (<em>or a lack thereof</em>) has in shaping society, and why we shouldn’t be afraid to have conversations around sensitive topics.</p><br><p>Adam Kinzinger is an American former politician, veteran, and senior political commentator for CNN. He served as a United States representative from Illinois from 2011 to 2023.&nbsp;</p><br><p>🎥 Watch Adam’s first interview on the Daily Stoic | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQKoFR1MIJo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQKoFR1MIJo</a></p><br><p>📚 Check out Adam Kinzinger’s book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Renegade-Defending-Democracy-Liberty-Divided/dp/0593654161" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Renegade: Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country</em></a>&nbsp;</p><br><p>Follow Adam on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adam_kinzinger/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Adam_Kinzinger</a> and on X <a href="https://x.com/AdamKinzinger?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@RepKinzinger</a></p><br><p>✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?

Julia Baird on Building Resilience and How Grace Can Change Everything

<p>The fundamental idea of Stoicism is that we cannot control what happens to us (or the ones we love), we can only control how we respond. Julia Baird knows about cultivating this resilience and Stoic response, after losing her mother and battling health issues, and how approaching grief with a sense of grace can transform ourselves and the world around us. While in Sydney, Ryan had the chance to sit down with Julia in-person to discuss what she learned from researching the lives of Queen Victoria and Florence Nightingale, and why she was compelled to write about grace for her latest book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bright-Shining-Grace-Changes-Everything-ebook/dp/B0CSBQJ6W2?ref_=ast_author_dp&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xb9N1dVXGrnMuSyulY6GbVP-trmeVyAy0sUdBqkRzedzoYdhaqZJ3xxAg6wEkZesOfCx289OL8qOna9SDtcIFvK-DDmRQQgcA9oM05phELl83bPbXs7-ts6s1v5gSzz_2xwBZp3wUgE5uA0bUzd41A.bu8lrua1X8-9OxBDRKgW1wurZ4sX-kuBnRs_t3dTipk&amp;dib_tag=AUTHOR" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Bright Shining: How Grace Changes Everything</em></a><em>.</em></p><br><p>Julia Baird is an author, broadcaster, and journalist based in Sydney, Australia.

David Kessler on Finding Meaning in Grief and Practicing the Art of Memento Mori

<p>In <em>Meditations,</em> Marcus Aurelius wrote “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.” Death is inevitable for all of us and practicing the art of Memento Mori reminds us to live each day to the fullest and with virtue.&nbsp;</p><br><p>David Kessler, a grief and loss expert, joins Ryan today to talk about why a meaningful life comes from embracing rather than fearing death, how grief can shape our understanding and appreciation of life, the balance between grief and joy, and how losing his son changed everything he thought he knew about grief.&nbsp;</p><br><p>David’s personal experience with grief started very young, as a child witnessing a mass shooting while his mother was dying in a hospital. For most of his life, David has taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about the end of life, trauma, and grief. Even after years of studying grief and counseling those experiencing it, his life was turned upside down by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son.</p><br><p>David co-authored two books with Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, including <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Grief-Grieving-Finding-Meaning-Through/dp/1476775559" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>On Grief and Grieving</em></a><em>, </em>and after experiencing the death of his son, he updated her 5 stages of grief with a 6th stage: <em>meaning</em>.&nbsp;</p><br><p>📚 Grab signed copies of<em> </em><a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=david+kessler*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Finding Meaning</em></a><em> </em>and the <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=david+kessler*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Finding Meaning Workbook</em></a><em> </em>by David Kessler at The Painted Porch <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=david+kessler*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thepaintedporch.com/&nbsp;</a></p><p>Go to <a href="https://www.davidkesslertraining.com/finding-meaning-workbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">griefbook.com</a> and follow David Kessler on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamdavidkessler/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://x.com/IamDavidKessler?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamdavidkessler/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@IAmDavidKessler&nbsp;</a></p><br><p>📕 Our favorite translation of Seneca’s essays on grief and loss, <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/hardship-and-happiness-the-complete-works-of-lucius-annaeus-seneca?_pos=2&amp;_sid=bea088ede&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Hardship and Happiness (The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca)</em></a> is available at The Painted Porch | <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/hardship-and-happiness-the-complete-works-of-lucius-annaeus-seneca?_pos=2&amp;_sid=bea088ede&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thepaintedporch.com/</a></p><br><p>🪙 Designed with the intention of carrying them in your pocket, our <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/collections/coins/products/memento-mori" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Memento Mori Medallion</a> is a literal and inescapable reminder that “you could leave life right now.”</p><p>Check it out at <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/collections/coins/products/memento-mori" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://store.dailystoic.com/</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Brigid Delaney’s Life Changing Year of Living Like a Stoic

<p>Brigid Delaney was at a unique point in her life and found herself looking for answers around life’s deepest questions: What does it mean to be a good person? How do we stop letting the things out of our control rule our emotions? Can our anger be tamed? After learning more about Stoicism, Brigid decided to let the ancient wisdom from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca guide her decisions for a year. </p><br><p>While in Australia on tour, Ryan had the chance to meet Brigid in person and talk with her about why Stoicism resonated with her, how to successfully apply Stoicism to modern problems, and the common misconceptions around Stoicism being exclusively for men. To learn more about Brigid’s experience, check out her book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reasons-Not-Worry-Practical-Self-Improvement/dp/0063314835/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fJzw8tmnTv0gKm-rQ4qEC-aUDxA3IQ-saAGstm7FL5bcSKLulZNnTSkx6oAhv_wISVzG1Tp39hYPRqHNlCM2VC-VcbWSU_76Jh6rPS8Gxu0vnFtQu3IjrzHnVNW1rYSo9ho1RYEjmW03uH1FpYRNlLk-2n6vWykSxcjpmD5uDJlb-EcDSwEMKhQxlpOg_tQO.sOFo2SK8kbxpYz-ptZ0ZbMl-FChtyiaOe6XBt4-7raQ&amp;qid=1727201222&amp;sr=1-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Reasons Not to Worry: How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times</em></a>.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Brigid Delaney is the author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reasons-Not-Worry-Practical-Self-Improvement/dp/0063314835/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fJzw8tmnTv0gKm-rQ4qEC-aUDxA3IQ-saAGstm7FL5bcSKLulZNnTSkx6oAhv_wISVzG1Tp39hYPRqHNlCM2VC-VcbWSU_76Jh6rPS8Gxu0vnFtQu3IjrzHnVNW1rYSo9ho1RYEjmW03uH1FpYRNlLk-2n6vWykSxcjpmD5uDJlb-EcDSwEMKhQxlpOg_tQO.sOFo2SK8kbxpYz-ptZ0ZbMl-FChtyiaOe6XBt4-7raQ&amp;qid=1727201222&amp;sr=1-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Reasons Not to Worry: How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times</em></a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wellmania-Extreme-Misadventures-Search-Wellness/dp/1771643706" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Wellmania: Extreme Misadventures in the Search for Wellness</em></a>.
