5 Powerful Insights From Stoic Women
Mar 27, 202210 min<p>The Stoics believed this philosophy transcended any individual human being or society with it being based on the universal principles of life. In this episode Ryan Holiday outlines 5 of the most powerful insights that he’s gathered from Stoic women.</p><p>Musonius Rufus—Epictetus’s teacher—was the most vocal on the matter: </p><p>“It is not men alone who possess eagerness and a natural inclination towards virtue, but women also. Women are pleased no less than men by noble and just deeds, and reject the opposite of such actions. Since that is so, why is it appropriate for men to seek out and examine how they might live well, that is, to practise philosophy, but not women?“</p><p>Watch the video: <a href='https://youtu.be/puJa6Ls1PGA'>https://youtu.be/puJa6Ls1PGA</a></p><p><a href='https://www.talkspace.com/'>Talkspace</a> is an online and mobile therapy company.

7 Ways Marcus Aurelius Will Help You Journal Like A Pro
Mar 20, 202214 min<p>Almost 2000 years ago, Marcus Aurelius stole time away from his incredibly busy life full of obligations to write in his journal. By some incredible stroke of luck, that journal survives to us today. And though it is full of countless pieces of wisdom and important lessons to us, perhaps its greatest teaching is held in its very existence. The fact that this person who thought so deeply and was so highly effective took the time to regularly write out his thoughts is one of the most important things we can take away from "Meditations." In this episode, Ryan Holiday discusses 7 strategies that can help you develop a highly effective journaling habit.</p><p>To learn more about journaling, check out our article "How To Start Journaling, Benefits of Journaling, and More": <a href='https://dailystoic.com/journaling/'>https://dailystoic.com/journaling/</a></p><p>Watch this video: https://youtu.be/ZVeUIclaMTE</p><p><a href='https://www.talkspace.com/'>Talkspace</a> is an online and mobile therapy company.
