Absolutely loved this video. It spoke to me, even as a young women. Every one applied to me and I appreciate you mentioning this topic isn't about gender. It's about becoming a better human. So I'm glad I got over my fear of not fitting into the demographic you were aiming for ❤ my masculine qualities can be fostered in a positive and healthy, stoic way 😊
I truly love how Ryan travels through modern issues (such as gender) very respectfully and yet he can make a point through an ancient philosophy carefully.
Thank you Ryan. I started studying Stoicism back around the time you wrote The Obstacle Is The Way. Thank you for staying on the path of virtue for ourselves and those around us.
This video is a game-changer! So much helpful information packed into one clip. I personally don't like promoting anything in comments, but I simply have to share with you a book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity, that book changed my approach to money, the methods in that book are impressive
This serves as a great start in the anti-serum needed to rid the men's improvement movement of the red-pill grifters. Cheers, Mr. Holiday, your work is changing the world for good.
To be humble, kind, self-disciplined, unafraid of strenuous or arduous endeavors, curious rather than conceited, and of benefit to others, generally, while overcoming greed, envy, vanity, and quickness of temper, overcoming self-centeredness and fragility, all of this is in service to becoming a person of character, regardless of sex or gender. The most pervasive mistake in the modern rediscovery of Hellenistic philosophy is putting any sort of masculinist capture around Stoicism.
Stoics in most part commited suicide. I don’t think that’s the answer for life. You know what is? Following the statutes and commandments of God. This is told by Jesus to gain life, stoics were the smartest dummies. Paul converted them to Christianity. Over 500,000 churches in Europe today now, how many schools of Stoics are there? 1 million, no? How about 100,000? Not even that, if it doesn’t work, I don’t wanna use it, I wanna use things that work.
Thank you mr Ryan Holiday. Your books have changed my life. I think this is what I and most young men need to here. Most young men don't even know who they are in my generation. I want to ask how can I guide most young men being a young stoic😮
Atleast he got the basics down, Marcus tellius says, a room without books, is like a body without a soul. Looking at Ryan’s pocket library he’s got there. You can indeed see it’s not just stoicism that got him ahead, but all fronts and walks of life from various people did. Stoics make up of splice and tiny grain of sand in time, what we see now is what to be cherished, which is the anthology of life.
I've gained so much from Stoicism. The problem I encounter is that these young men aren't hungry for success. They dont want to be uncomfortable, they have zero drive. Stoicism works for people who are driven but lost or for those who are off course but have that hunger deep down. 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people and there's a lack of personal accountability and wanting to be a productive member of society. Yes, its hard for young men today but it was also hard 100 years ago. These are self caused hardship. It's never been easier, safer, more comfortable than it is today for human kind.
Exactly what I've come to expect from you, Ryan. Foundational tenets with a story to support each. Especially appreciate how you closed with Marcus’s homage to Antoninus, his adopted father. That he had a role model for living the essential qualities of what it means to be a man explains in large part why Marcus is still relevant ~2000 years later.

Who defines purpose? What defines better? What is virtue? It’s all well and good to say we should live in a certain way, but why? What grounds it? What gives it LIFE
I agree, it’s okay to feel your emotions. Enjoy them if they are good, feel them if they bad, but never believe them. Logic is the only guide to action.
i used to read alot, but recently i dropped off. i got your daily stoic's email in hopes that i will read them, but i just don't. how do i get back on track?
Fellow men, what is your advice on video games? I want to be developing myself. I do weightlifting everyday, I work, and I like reading books. However, I also like gaming. Am I just overthinking and nervous?
Great question, definitely had a similar question as I used to play a lot of overwatch. Think what matters, I actually played overwatch with my younger cousin for years, and we made life long memories- I used to not like him that much tbh, and now he's like my best friend. And remember moderation and temperance, there is a time to work, and then there is a time not to. Do you get relaxation from gaming? Or does it stress you out? These are important questions to ask yourself, and make the time spent relaxing worth it. There's a thing in body building about reducing fatigue, and many elite athletes and IFBB pro's use some kind of vice like tv shows or smoking weed to reduce metabolic stress so that they can come back HARDER. do I play video games? Not at school, in college I left my gaming mice & keyboard at home and when I'm back from break, it's a break
@wilsonwong8176 oooooof, I have been playing overwatch since I was 12. I have a love hate relationship with that game, but I've recently quit that game to focus on less stressful games, and more on games where I get a sense of relaxation and fulfillment. That said, I only play evenings. But I'm glad I could have a conversation about this In a mature and humble space, where there are no self proclaimed alpha males promoting broicism
In my opinion games are good if they bring something to your life. Books are considered better than games, but there are many books that are just entertainment that have no value. I think that the game taught me a lot, things that I wouldn't find in books. It's a matter of choosing the right games and books. You can quickly read a book that is considered a "must read" and understand nothing, or you can read a fantasy book that has wisdom that will speak to you. You have to be open and not let go of something because someone thinks it is bad. I would focus on eliminating simple distractions from work that do nothing for you. If you get irritated in games, this is not the way to go
I understand your concern. What helped me the most and usually was feeling more like a reward was when I did give gaming a time gap. Just 2 h a day or one day a week to relax gave me freedom from my mind. I always wanted to play. I settled my mind just by saying we will have time to play but it is not yet. That was really satisfactory and I did actually enjoy gaming more nowadays :)
Great video. I get it. It's just a little too close of a title to feel like it's not leaning in to the worst uses of stoicism in "how to be a man" rn. I appreciate the way its done, the title is for those who are looking for something else so maybe thats more good. Just hard to read a title and it's directed absolutely against you in thumbnail. That I can't super qualify and I value your authenticity and how much my ignorance is. Just a reaction as a female in a male dominated field of all fields somewhat. And I don't know. This title did have gender connotations...and the romans didn't after discussion as you say, so the title...Is there a female you can recommend for a specific video? As you do live a traditional in modern understanding role.
I wish you could have chosen a better, less polarizing example than Adam Kissinger. He’s gone and Trump has been reelected cause the whole country is moving away from the anti-masculinity movement. We all WANT a strong man to bring back order instead of leaving us vulnerable through poor boundaries and a bleeding heart for all except his own people. Argue if you must but the people have spoken and they would rather have a strong bully then a crying emotional wimp. It’s not about perfect character. It’s about strength and keeping us safe. Peace through strength You chose a guy that cries and whines, and had an affair with a Chinese spy? (Christine Fang) Dude 🤦♀️
Agreed on most points, but not crying is about a hundred times as easy for me as not complaining. So explain to me first how to not complain in an actionable way.
Can you make a video about the many passages in meditations where Marcus is depressed, sad, talks down to himself, threatens himself with self unaliving, and some positive spin? Book 4 A black characters a womanish character, a stubborn character, bestial, childish, animal, stupid, counterfeit, scurrilous, fraudulent, tyrannical. Book 10 entry 8 1st and 3rd paragraphs Claim your entitlement to these epithets - good, decent, truthful; in mind clear, cooperative, and independent 3rd paragraph Launch yourself, then on these few claims. If you can stay within them, stay there like a man translated to some paradise, the island of blest. But if you feel yourself falling away and losing control, retire in good heart to some corner where you will regain control - Or else make a complete exit from life, not in anger, but simply, freely, with integrity, making leaving at least one achievement in your life. All of the inspirational quotes online from Marcus Aurelius fail to capture the man. This makes his inspirational quotes have so much more weight.
love your content Ryan! As I am getting older I am trying to adjust my outlook and attitudes towards things I have held close for the first 54 years of my life and your videos have really added to the things I can use and implement. That said, I still lament that Marcus Aurelius had chosen Commodus to be his successor.
I bet Mr. Holiday is a person that doesn't know male from female, and the juxtaposition is that he also makes great content. Oh, the magnificent dilemma!
Own the morning: Trying to stay awake in my 5am commute heading to a soul sucking job that is not making a difference in this world. For as low of pay that the company can pay you.
Marcus was not a good father. Sometimes the heroes are those who dedicate their lives to their children and their woman, their family, mates and their country, just quietly. I hope they also take care of themselves.
First time I’ve really disagreed with one of your videos. #4 so you get to be the arbiter of what fitness is right and what fitness is wrong? What about personal goals, enjoyment and self expression? The amount of people that have that problem that you described in America is probably so small it’s absurd. 48% of adults are projected to be obese by 2030. It takes discipline to go to the gym day in and day out, get adequate sleep and diet. That’s why 99% of the public don’t look ripped or have muscular bodies. Gaining muscle and losing fat is one of the hardest things to do. Also, let’s not forget the myriad of health benefits muscle growth has on the body. Saying that’s a vice is unfounded to me.
@@geeky_sasha6813 I didn't finish the video i clearly stated, so how could I get the point. Are you saying I'm obligated to listen to people who aren't worthy of respect? time is finite, I have much better things to do

Why “How to Be a Man” but not “How to Be a Woman” how is cultivating virtues orcalm tenacity or moral wisdom asribed to being a Masculine Man but not to beng a “True Woman” “Feminin Woman”? Logically where doss the cultural double standard where “Masculine” is connoted with moral and cognitive traitts, but the term “Being a Real Woman” or “”Being a Feminine Woman” today especially connotes vapid and vacuous surface level mannerisms like gracefulness, and in our contemporary Western Culture connotes solely stereotypes of submissioon not evolving virtuous traits, wisdom or moral traits ? From childhood women are told being a”Feminie” Woman or a “Real Woman” means changing how a woman appears, superficial mannerisms and being submissive to bosses, husbands, boyfriends fathers etc. This linguistic double standard or what “Being a Real Man” means/conmotes culturally VS what “Being a Feminine Woman” is culturally charged unveiling sociocultural differences of gender stereotypes amd expectations embedded in society woth regard to Men VS Women.
Doesn’t he literally bring this up 4 minutes in? He specifies that the teachings are for EVERYONE, but notes that it’s young men who have the most need of knowing about Stoic virtue.
The phrase "toxic masculinity" exists, connoting the existence of masculinity that is good. Perhaps you just need "toxic femininity" to show you what good feminity would be.
Don't add in twists when it so fits you or an ideology. You're a messenger of the stoics. I came here for lessons on stoicism, right from the source, and I left with a lack of respect for you.
Can you support your claims about grifting, being a "fake" Stoic, and him not practicing Stoicism? The ancient Stoics would probably see Ryan as a "Prokoptôn".
@@ThePathOfEudaimoniaOn this channel you're not going to hear anything about Stoic epistemology or metaphysics from which they derive their ethics, just aphorisms.
@@RagnarB175 The reason why we don't study the ancient Greek ideas about science is that they had a lot of theories that have been superseded by 21st century science.
@davidzack8735 Epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics aren't science, it's philosophy. Regardless, if you study Stoicism 1000 years ago, today, or 1000 years from now it would require you to study their epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics.
Not gonna lie, after you try to sold us an “stoic coin” I kind of lose interest on the channel. Don’t get me wrong I know you want to monetize your business there’s nothing wrong with that but not in that way. Not for me at least.
I think that is incredibly harsh when the videos his emails & podcats and vast amount of the access to this community is free sure the coin costs money I mean it costs money to make its just a little thing it's really not that important at all if he started charging for the videos or podcasts I could see why but losing interest over a coin is harsh
@ I’m not being harsh on him because he is trying to get monetization for his amazing work, it’s completely fair, I’m being harsh on him doing it in a way that no stoic would approve.
Yeah, you know I discovered this guy a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed a podcast that I heard with him where he was talking about stoicism, but he's now intermingling that somehow with modern day insane gender politics. I unsubscribed immediately. He also takes the Jan 6 propaganda seriously and believes it. This person cannot be taken seriously.
I love that you let the music play between thoughts. It's like a break to swallow my soul food.

I think we’ve reached a point where these principles need to be taught in school. Not enough of us adopt them as adults.
Ha ha, didn’t do so well for Europe.
@@connorstar164 Did a quick search, didn't see anything mentioning the EU trying this.
I really needed this message today. Stoicism is just the tonic I needed at the right time of my life.
To be humble, kind, self-disciplined, unafraid of strenuous or arduous endeavors, curious rather than conceited, and of benefit to others, generally, while overcoming greed, envy, vanity, and quickness of temper, overcoming self-centeredness and fragility, all of this is in service to becoming a person of character, regardless of sex or gender.

Logically where doss the cultural double standard where “Masculine” is connoted with moral and cognitive traitts, but the term “Being a Real Woman” or “”Being a Feminine Woman” today especially connotes vapid and vacuous surface level mannerisms like gracefulness, and in our contemporary Western Culture connotes solely stereotypes of submissioon not evolving virtuous traits, wisdom or moral traits ? From childhood women are told being a”Feminie” Woman or a “Real Woman” means
changing how a woman appears, superficial mannerisms and being submissive to bosses, husbands, boyfriends fathers etc.
This linguistic double standard or what “Being a Real Man” means/conmotes culturally VS what “Being a Feminine Woman” is culturally charged unveiling sociocultural differences of gender stereotypes amd expectations embedded in society woth regard to Men VS Women.
A good mother is extremely virtuous. You missed a thread.
Doesn’t he literally bring this up 4 minutes in?
He specifies that the teachings are for EVERYONE, but notes that it’s young men who have the most need of knowing about Stoic virtue.
The phrase "toxic masculinity" exists, connoting the existence of masculinity that is good. Perhaps you just need "toxic femininity" to show you what good feminity would be.
Have you considered that perhaps we are also planning that video?
I wonder how many men unsubscribed at the point about gender fluidity? I did
How can I send you an Astros hat? That hat you have on is awful.
Don't add in twists when it so fits you or an ideology. You're a messenger of the stoics. I came here for lessons on stoicism, right from the source, and I left with a lack of respect for you.
Too bad for you mat....! It's your loss.💥
Can you be specific? I want to understand why you say this.
Getting butthurt is a pretty un-stoic way to respond to anything
@@MCordell09 yeah without giving any reason specifically
Just a suggestion, reduce the level of the background music. I feel it's distracting from the good message you're spreading.
It's not things that upset us but our judgments about things😂
If the ancient stoics could see you grifting, they would just have pity for you. the fake stoic, profiting from a knowledge you don't practice
Can you support your claims about grifting, being a "fake" Stoic, and him not practicing Stoicism?
The ancient Stoics would probably see Ryan as a "Prokoptôn".
@@ThePathOfEudaimoniaOn this channel you're not going to hear anything about Stoic epistemology or metaphysics from which they derive their ethics, just aphorisms.
@@RagnarB175 The reason why we don't study the ancient Greek ideas about science is that they had a lot of theories that have been superseded by 21st century science.
@davidzack8735 Epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics aren't science, it's philosophy. Regardless, if you study Stoicism 1000 years ago, today, or 1000 years from now it would require you to study their epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics.
@@RagnarB175 Congratulations of missing the key part of stoicism.
They will try to cancel you over this gender stuff. I love you though!
Not gonna lie, after you try to sold us an “stoic coin” I kind of lose interest on the channel. Don’t get me wrong I know you want to monetize your business there’s nothing wrong with that but not in that way. Not for me at least.
I think that is incredibly harsh when the videos his emails & podcats and vast amount of the access to this community is free sure the coin costs money I mean it costs money to make its just a little thing it's really not that important at all if he started charging for the videos or podcasts I could see why but losing interest over a coin is harsh
@ I’m not being harsh on him because he is trying to get monetization for his amazing work, it’s completely fair, I’m being harsh on him doing it in a way that no stoic would approve.
Lost me when you spend 3 minutes talking about fluid gender
Lol I knew it. This dude is a hack. Timestamp this please. I don't want to give this hack too much watch-time.
Don't ever say gender is fluid again.
Why you scared 😱
It’s called freedom of speech, random commenter on UA-cam.
@justincase2071 not scared. It's the dumbest shit ever.
Yeah, you know I discovered this guy a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed a podcast that I heard with him where he was talking about stoicism, but he's now intermingling that somehow with modern day insane gender politics. I unsubscribed immediately. He also takes the Jan 6 propaganda seriously and believes it. This person cannot be taken seriously.
You sure can sell anything, past career spills over into selling stoicism; moreover, the irony coming from a corporate salesman.
Sell it boy!
