you literally need to be a stoic to watch this short without snapping
i think you just mean attentive
Or just fast forward…
Or just finding Ryan's voice so calming that your nerves go from hyper content consumer to just hearing him out. Maybe that's just me.

When he said, "talking to himself," it confirmed to me that it was Aurelius😅. Imagine your personal diary becoming a global reference for almost ALL professions with regards to self-control, decision-making, and self-awareness. Hope to get a hard copy of it in the future❤

Here's the book name in the end :
*Meditation by Marcus Aurelius*

Can you imagine pouring your soul into a diary then like thousands of years later people reading it in an intro to classics course
And somebody is getting rich by printing his diary 😂
He was one of the greatest Roman emperors to ever exist tho
I honestly wonder how many leaders between then and now who’ve either read Meditations or had heard the story of who wrote it and told their closest advisor to burn their diary immediately after they die specifically because of that fear.
@@brokeneyes6615 funny enough Marcus Aurelius said repeateadly that praying about posthumous glory was pointless... And now we study him
@@pascualdidier203it happens quite often that someone who has done some great things strongly does not believe in one thing and their fans/followers do that same thing using their name
Written so beautifully in a language that wasn’t his first language.
Meditations, a truely great book. Its message can be summed up to "Live Well, Die Better."
That's not even a summary. That's a simple life lesson. Meditations has five themed and goes into depth with explaining them and places a strong emphasis on pursuing wisdom and virtue as the main goals of life.
You need to read the whole book and not just read summaries of it.
@@cxarhomell5867 i have read the book, and that is my summary, made as short as i possibly could.

@@hadgadma3589I'm Muslim also, but you're missing the point. Allah made many creations & guided many great men. Many men had great minds & abilities because Allah willed it. If you truly understood the Qur'an you wouldn't need to mention it in comparison like this.
I’m going through a kinda messy break up right now and 6 days ago I saw your videos for the first time and it was about this book. I sat for 3 minutes listening to the promises you made about this book and so I bought the Gregory hays translation on Amazon and paid extra for over night shipping. The last 5 days my world has done a 180, I can’t put it down, it has the feel of an old friend sharing his life time of wisdom with me and I can’t recommend it enough. I have told all of my friends about it and they have all bought it they would read it for 15 minutes without looking up and they all say the same thing. This is the best thing ever written. If you haven’t gotten it, change that. And to the @ DailyStoic himself, you have changed my life for ever and I will share the teachings of this book along with your messages about it and other Greek and Roman stoics. Thank you truly

In 100 years humanity will forget about the book so cherish every word of it.
Wonder if there's anything in the book that says "don't adore listening to the sound of your own voice..."
Probably is. I'm yet to finish reading, but it sounds like something ol Marky would say
I purchased it and your so right. Hard to believe he was an Emperor of Rome 😮. Thank you Sir.
Thank you 👍😊
*You’re
It's honestly sad how many can't attentively listen to the beautiful description of this book, now that u know why this book is amazing you will read the book even more carefully.
My first thought 'its mein kampf isnt it?' Expecting it to just be a meme 💀
I read it when I was seventeen, now I am fifty and I remember how much it taught and built my character. Greek and Roman filosophers are the best mentors.
Marcus was Roman spoke Latin, but the diary was in Greek, he also thought Greek philosophy was great…. Terrible father though
@@Cash4gold84no one's perfect 😆
Indeed.
@@Cash4gold84Most of Roman society spoke Greek in their day to day activities. Roman was only really used in the senate.
Didn't teach you to spell "philosopher" though
I encourage everyone to read this book. The writings of this man from so long ago are relatable, real, and make you think. This book along with the works of Plato and Aristotle made me realize that we are no smarter now than we were back then.
When I read those books, I think we were smarter back then.
@@kauffrau6764 I initially thought that, but people like him are not a good example of the general public from back then. He was much smarter than the average. That said, I don't think society today is much smarter than we were back then.
Well if you think about it in depth, than the way our civilization is being controlled by the systems, in form of a government or a king is the same as today, the method is the only thing that differs. A example of this would be the use of fear: back than it was the church, most of the people feared god and the system used that for their likings, taking money for forgiveness. Todays equivalent would be the news, they only tell you about war, killings, a new virus and boom they control what you do on a daily and deep basis. People often like to instantly nope to these kind of examples/„theories“ but again, if you think about it, every system spoke down or even killed the people who said something against it, communism for example (also just another system). So when having that in mind, why would it instantly be wrong to say that the current system couldn’t have its flaws, that it doesn’t wants us to see? And in that way we people are still kind of dumb, falling for the same traps, with which we can be controlled.
@@ixigamer1337 Agree.
We dont get smarter, we just build tools that make us seem smarter
I thought he was gonna pull up mein kampf
My problem when reading books like this one, which I am doing now, is that I feel like I have no retention of it. I read it, think 'that's profound' then I go about my life with no sense that I or anything changed.
I thought he was finna hook us up with that Austrian Painters Guide Book. So glad it wasn’t 😅

And he raised such a great son as his successor, too.
Marcus Aurelius is actually supposed to be a somewhat mediocre Stoic philosopher, but he was made Emperor, not just inheriting the position or taking it by combat, that people think that he must be a rich Tevye from “If I Were A Rich Man” from “Fiddler On The Roof”.
Great sucessor? Commodus was a paranoid, hedonist dumbass. Nothing like his pops.
Let's be honest, he was born into high power. He was a clever bloke, but he was born with a golden spoon.
I found Aurelius much more compelling and less contradictory when compared to seneca (really the only two stoics ive read much). But hey i#m by no means an expert. what makes him mediocre in his discipline?
His son’s reign marks the fall of the Roman Empire.
I read it seven months ago and it’s still something I pick up just to read before I go into work or take something on or just for pleasure reading. I constantly recommend it to people no matter what they’re going through or how well off they are because its just a book I think everyone should at least once in they’re life
Thought he was about to pull up Ninja’s comic book for a sec
He was one of the worst fathers to ever live, and everyone reads it like it's going to turn them into a real man.
An uncommon and probably underrated take.
I just bought it yesterday! Amazing book!
I read this book a little over 3 years ago upon coming across Mr Holliday’s channel. It is one of the most profound pieces of philosophy put in to practice you could ever hope for. I have read it cover to cover more than a dozen times and read several pages each morning.
This book changed my life in so many ways and Mr Holliday set me upon that path.
I've heard it's a book that can be life changing if you're walking into it needing that sort of thing. I'm definitely going to have it in my collection one day.
In case you're wondering, this book won't tell you anything that you don't already know
Have you read the book? If so, then you would realize that everything it explains, from the five main themes of the book to pursuing wisdom and virtue, can become an essential part of your life and your way of thinking. If anything, it would teach you things that you need to know.
If you know his channel then you know its Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Awesome book, I highly recommend it.
You are a Great speaker. I viewed many of your videos and have purchased and read Meditations. I am now subscribed and look forward to your future videos. Thank you, Mark.
I was thinking to myself “that better not be mein kamf”
I immediately knew what book you were talking about with the first few sentences
That cough exactly during the reveal of the title was right on queue 😅
Holy cow, ur right! :0)
I caught the cough and sniff too. But I don’t know why it’s there? Is it an inside joke type of thing? I’m just intrigued.
Killed me 😂
Does the damn book teach patience ? Because I need some RIGHT now !
😂😂😂😂 Patience is something you develop constantly. Is not something you gain or loose. Just like Love, you either are open to it or not (mostly depends on external circumstances). Or like your foot pinky, you don't know it is there until you hit it on something 😅.
When external factors are getting to rough for someone, that one is able to look within. Notice the breath, be aware of the breathing and do it with all your focus and slowly. Then see what happens to the anxiety caused by external world factors. We cannot control what others say or do. We can only control how we respond.
Thank you ❤️🙏
I find it helps to just hit something.@@UnitateaConstiintei
This book is in my list must read before I die.
I thought we were about to get Rick Rolled 😅
For people who are interested in this book, I want to let you know some things he left out. Marcus Aurelius was not a perfect leader, under him many Christians were persecuted and the largest massacre of Christian people up to that point in history was committed under his rule. He also writes this book to REMIND himself of the teachings and even though he had learned these teachings during his studies, after year (and several notebooks in the book) he still finds himself struggling to apply them. Marcus also changes his mind over the statements he makes in the earlier part of the book in the later notebooks so don't take statements as blind wisdom, instead dwell on them. Finally, it's pretty repetitious and I would like to add that I did like this book, just that it shouldn't be treated as blind wisdom.
Also Marcus Aurelius accepted a lot of things as blind truths in order to live happier with himself. He accepted Stoicism in his thinking because it allowed him to add meaning to his life as both an emperor and philosopher. He believed life had to have meaning because if it was meaningless, why live? He frequently references Epictetus's thoughts on the world being a cocktail of ingredients for the sake of involving multiple views but not because he believed such a thing (existentialism wasn't thought of much in that place and time). Going along with my previous point, he followed the thought that nature was rational and by acting rationally as an individual you could act with nature, this assumes that nature is rational, that everyone should act with nature, and that everyone does everything rationally (the argument for this is that every human is made up of experiences and those experiences make them think the way they do, I actually really liked his argument and it serves to show that every person is a product of their upbringing).
Christians are ritual theives. I have no sympathy for their prosecution
where does the video ever state that he was a perfect leader?
Marcus Aurelius himself never makes taht statement. He accnowledges that he is a human being, with faults and flaws.
This was at the Painted Porch! I can recognize the shelves. Such a great place 🥹
Bro, I've already read Mein Kampf--- Oh, it's Marcus Aurelius boy.
I was happy to find a copy in the original Klingon, so much better without the filter of translation.

Thank god I read the comments before watching the whole short, I skipped to the end directly. Love you guys thank you!!
The Bible solos. It is not only a singular book but a collection of beautiful scrolls of text. It is one of if not the greatest book/s ever written.
Translated it from latin to German myself after I've listened to an audiobook and was just so damn inspired.
No, you didn't. Stop lying.
I passed this book so many times in several different libraries, wish i had known what a treasure it was. But oh well I'm reading it now, and it's the annotated version

OP: "No one's ever read a book like this!!"
Me: You're describing a famous person's diary.
Anne Frank has entered the chat...
Eh, they are very different. Anne Frank's diary was a snapshot of history, her experiance of the war.
Meditations is very different. It was written over 2000 years ago but it has nothing to do with history, nor setting. It's universal life lessons and insightful observations of human behavior. It could have been written in the present or a thousand years in our future and it would be the same book. It's timeless life lessons that apply to anyone and everyone, in every single era of human history.
Anne Frank is a book about the horrors of WW2. Meditations is a book about what it means to be a human.
I’ve came across his writings and it’s profound 😊

This?
1st. Commandment, Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”. Old Testament punishment - Deuteronomy 17:1-5 “And hath gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heavens, which I have not commanded. Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing and shalt stone them with stones, till they die”. Deuteronomy 14:6-10, “If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is of thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. Thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God.” Exodus 22:20 “He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed”. New Testament punishment - Mark 16:16 “He that believeth not, shall be damned”.
2nd. Commandment, Exodus 20:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water below.” Old Testament punishment- Deuteronomy 27: 1 5 “Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image.” That’s right kids don’t EVER draw, sculpt or paint or else god will curse you. Wanna be an artist, a photographer, take a picture of yourself or family? TOO BAD, God says no! You better drop out of art class before he smites you with boils.
3rd. Commandment, Exodus 20:7 “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain”. Old Testament punishment - Leviticus 24:16 “And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death”, New Testament punishment - Matthew 12:32 “Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. Mark 3:29 - “He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgivness, but is in danger of eternal damnation”.
4th. Commandment, Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy”. Old Testament punishment - Exodus 31:15 “Whosoever shall work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death”. Numbers 15:32. “And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day…And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.”
5th. Commandment, Exodus 20:12 “Honour thy father and thy mother”. Old Testament punishment - Exodus 21:15-17 “And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death”. More punishment - Exodus 21:17 “And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death”.
6th. Commandment, Exodus 20:13 “Thou shalt not kill”. Strangely enough this is a commandment despite all the punishments that require death in the New Testament and the Old Testament. How can thou not kill when thou is commanded to kill at the same time? This hypocrisy should be pointed out if the ten commandments are posted in schools, court rooms and buildings of legislation. The confusion of this commandment would surely bring capitol punishment into question.
7th. Commandment, Exodus 20:14 “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. Old Testament punishment - Leviticus 20:10 “And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death”.

No, its not. Its realy not.
There were alot of holy texts before the bible, and there will be alot of holy texts after the bible.
There are also many different kinds of bibles, with differences ranging from small to vast, most of them containing faulty translations, interpretations and changes from whatever "original" they take from.
Truth be told, the only exeptional thing iwht the bible is how many of them have been made. But thats only of we group every kind of bible together, and not focus on theprivately bought bibles.

Nah man, not convinced. Make the intro longer and this time hold 2 copies sideways. Give me at least 2 hours of nonsense before revealing the book.
I highly recommend the Needleman and Piazza translation "The Essential Marcus Aurelius" in large part for it's excellent prologue to help you understand the context in which this book was written, and about Stoic practices in general, as well as the excellent glossary, which is for a careful, close read of the specific translation of certain philosophical concepts as a 1st century Roman Stoic would understand them as used in the text
