The Stoic Question David Mamet Engraved on His Watch

<p>David Mamet is one of the most influential writers of the last half-century, so when he talks about craft, discipline, and courage, it’s worth listening. In this episode, David joins Ryan to talk about acting, writing, Stoicism, and why most people make things far more complicated than they need to be. David breaks down his blunt philosophy on performance and life, why courage matters more than talent, why “just saying the words” is often the hardest part, and the Stoic question he literally engraved on his watch.&nbsp;</p><br><p>David Mamet won a Pulitzer Prize for <em>Glengarry Glen Ross</em> and first broke through in the 1970s with plays like <em>American Buffalo</em> and <em>Sexual Perversity in Chicago</em>. He’s also written and directed films including <em>House of Games</em>, <em>The Spanish Prisoner</em>, and <em>Heist</em>, and wrote the screenplays for <em>The Verdict</em> and <em>The Untouchables</em>. Most recently, David released the film <a href="https://henryjohnsonmovie.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Henry Johnson</a> and published the novel <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Some-Recollections-St-Ives-Novel/dp/1648211402" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Some Recollections of St. Ives: A Novel</em>.&nbsp;</a></p><br><p>👉 Support the podcast and go deeper into Stoicism by subscribing to<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic Premium</a> - unlock ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content:<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://dailystoic.supercast.com/</a></p><br><p>🎥 Watch the video episodes on<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic YouTube channel</a>:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos</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>✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?

The Lie That Keeps You Feeling Behind Every Single Day | Oliver Burkeman

<p>Most productivity advice promises that if you just find the right system, you’ll finally catch up. In today’s episode, Ryan sits down with Oliver Burkeman who explains why that feeling never arrives and why that is not a personal failure. They discuss the productivity lie that keeps so many people feeling behind every single day, how hustle culture quietly creates anxiety, and why the goal of getting “on top of everything” is impossible. Oliver explains why urgency often makes life worse, not better, how saying no is harder than it should be, and what actually changes when you stop trying to win time and start accepting your limits.</p><br><p>Oliver Burkeman is the author of the <em>New York Times </em>bestseller <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/four-thousand-weeks-time-management-for-mortals?_pos=1&amp;_sid=83af33f48&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Four</em> <em>Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals</em></a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Antidote-Happiness-People-Positive-Thinking/dp/0865478015" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand</em> <em>Positive Thinking</em></a><em>, </em>and <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/meditations-for-mortals-four-weeks-to-embrace-your-limitations-and-make-time-for-what-counts?_pos=2&amp;_sid=83af33f48&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Meditations for Mortals</em></a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Follow Oliver on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oliverburkeman_/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and<a href="https://x.com/oliverburkeman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> X</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oliverburkeman_/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@OliverBurkeman</a></p><br><p>Grab signed copies of <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/meditations-for-mortals-four-weeks-to-embrace-your-limitations-and-make-time-for-what-counts?_pos=2&amp;_sid=83af33f48&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Meditations for Mortals</em></a> and <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/four-thousand-weeks-time-management-for-mortals?_pos=1&amp;_sid=83af33f48&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Four Thousand Weeks</em></a> by Oliver Burkeman at The Painted Porch: <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=oliver+burkeman*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thepaintedporch.com/</a></p><br><p>👉 Support the podcast and go deeper into Stoicism by subscribing to<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic Premium</a> - unlock ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content:<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://dailystoic.supercast.com/</a></p><br><p>🎥 Watch the video episodes on<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic YouTube channel</a>:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos</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>✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?

Why You’re Not as Hard to Manipulate as You Think | Rebecca Lemov

<p>Most people think manipulation only works on other people. That belief is exactly what makes it dangerous. In this episode, Ryan sits down with historian and human behavior expert<strong> </strong>Rebecca Lemov to talk about what actually happens when people are pushed, pressured, or slowly pulled into systems of control. From prison camps and cults to propaganda and social pressure, they discuss how people break in ways that still feel rational, why belonging can override reason, and why almost everyone believes they are immune right up until they are not.</p><br><p>Rebecca Lemov is a historian of science at Harvard University. Her research explores data, technology, and the history of human and behavioral sciences.&nbsp;</p><br><p>📚 Grab signed copies of <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/the-instability-of-truth-brainwashing-mind-control-and-hyper-persuasion-signed-by-author?_pos=1&amp;_sid=b2f8ba7db&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Instability of Truth</em> by Rebecca Lemov</a> at The Painted Porch: <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/the-instability-of-truth-brainwashing-mind-control-and-hyper-persuasion-signed-by-author?_pos=1&amp;_sid=b2f8ba7db&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thepaintedporch.com/</a></p><br><p>👉 Support the podcast and go deeper into Stoicism by subscribing to<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic Premium</a> - unlock ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content:<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://dailystoic.supercast.com/</a></p><br><p>🎥 Watch the video episodes on<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic YouTube channel</a>:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos</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>✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
