Thomas Chatterton Williams is an American culture critic and is the author of two memoirs: “Self-Portrait in Black and White: Unlearning Race” (geni.us/b6Mc) and “Losing My Cool: How a Father’s Love and 15,000 Books Beat Hip-Hop Culture" (geni.us/wXjt). In 2020, Thomas helped write and organize “A Letter on Justice and Open Debate.” This open letter, published in Harper’s Magazine and reprinted in newspapers around the world, defended free speech at a time of growing censorship and was signed by 153 leading public figures. Thomas is also a dedicated father, and much of his work is inspired by the relationship he shares with his father, and the relationship he has with his own children.

One thing helps everyone reading more is slowing down, focus comes as a result. Great conversation Ryan.
Fascinating discussion. You covered some really important (delicate) topics in such an insightful, frank and yet appropriate manner. I applaud you both. Thoroughly enjoyable.
*ONE OF THE BEST QUOTES*
“Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change” - Gautama Buddha
Thanks For Reading 🙏🏻
I LOVE YOU
His dad sounds amazing
So great to start children reading early in their life, also, I would include a second language if available, children's bilingual books are very beautiful!
We great ones, the stoic in heart
I see you daily- stoics I love your tips and tricks!
You become wise when you begin to talk to the dead. How deep and true that maxim is.

What is an ROI?
Return on investment, I guess.
In Texas holdem, ROI is return on investment.
U calculate pot odds and u determine whether its worth staying in a pot to win. Are u getting a good return on investment. Is it worth putting more chips in the middle. Or isit best to fold to fight and win another day/hand.
ROI is Return On Investment.
It’s a financial term (along with Expected Value [EV] that has been incorporated into card playing, and other areas including sports.
oh, that thing about being from Cali and moving to Texas and "looking at things from different perspective"... Sorry for saying out loud but it seems that Ryan is imposing his views on Texans and criticising them for not being according to his liking
So stoicism is for social justice warriors? I think not. Your personal tendencies continue to show, Ryan. Very disappointed.
thank you Ryan Holiday for bringing us a great interview.
