      Can't wait to listen, love Ryan holiday, love your channel...my only gripe is Ryan is not really a 'disipline expert' (although I'm sure he has mastered it) he's a writer and modern stoic philosopher...but I get it, more people will click for the word disipline, gotta play the game

      The good and the bad... I like the channel, the themes and the guests. The titles of the videos could be better (I say). What for me is really bad, is this constant request for subscriptions to the channel. Learn to appreciate visualizations. This is what matters most, whether they do Like, Share or subscribe, this will already be an extra. I think it's horrible to see and hear this little cry for subscriptions. I'm really getting tired of crying. Maybe you'd rather have 20 million subscribers and 10 views per video!! You'll get what you want when people think you deserve it, not when you ask!

    1) Do the things you say you'll do
    2) Keep the promises you make yourself, no matter how small
    3) Journal and reflection
    4) Writing things down = clarity
    5) Have a plan, system and structure - write it down
    6) The impediment to action advances action, what stands in the way.. becomes the way
    7) We cannot control everything, but we can control how we react to it
    8) When faced with hard times.. identify what opportunities come from it.
    9) When faced with hard times, frame it in a way that this is practice for even tougher times in the future and how this shapes you as a man for having dealt with it
    10) I cannot change the situation, but what has it taught me, how can i grow from it, what opportunity can I find from it
    11) Ask yourself.. does this matter? and why..
    12) Ask questions that give you perspective, different way of seeing things - To get you out of the impulsive state
    13) Being right.. is more important than the whole relationshop. Don't jeapordize the whole operation
    14) Reading may be the only way to live multiple lives.. cause you learn from another person whos lived that life

      The Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies estimates that the average Baby Boomer has $202k saved up for retirement. According to the 4% Rule, this would result in a $8k annual retirement income. Judging by this I feel under pressure to get the most out of my $424k in savings. In order to increase my yields, I am in desperate need of guidance.

    Your podcast is a companion and sometimes like a parent for me on the long journey I’ve took to become whom I want to be and to build the life that I want for myself and think would improve the world too. As a woman, it is also comforting and inspiring to see examples of great men, who look inwardly a lot and who live life courageously. Thank you so much for doing this, Steve!

    Here are the main points from the interview explained in simple terms:
    • Life is like a quiet message sender. You must pay attention to understand it, or else there could be consequences.
    • Writing down your thoughts can help you understand them better.
    • We can't change the past, but we can control how we react to it. Learning from past experiences is important.
    • Sometimes things go wrong, and people get frustrated. Figuring out how to deal with such situations is a challenge.
    • Everyone should have some rules and standards to live by. These are like personal guidelines.
    • Reading is an amazing way to experience different lives through stories. The first word in the Holy Quran is "Read," showing the importance of reading.
    • I believe in dressing appropriately for the weather to stay comfortable.
    • Seeing water and taking a long walk can be very calming and enjoyable.
    When thinking about what you contribute to the world and the legacy you leave behind, remember to make the most of the time you have.

    Quick extension to what Ryan said at about 1hr in... The meaning of life is to leave this world - and probably universe - better than it would've been if you hadn't existed. For your only aim to be to "leave this place better than you found it" is somewhat limited in scope by which I mean it doesn't account for "this place" being better than you found it purely by chance. Other people have ample opportunity to improve things as you intend to, so expand your ambition in the most subtle but obvious way. Leave this place better than it would've been had you not existed.

      I am so glad you mentioned this. Anything in excess leads to imbalance. The difference between self dominance versus self management is a thin line. Self discipline can easily slip into the destructive aspects of self dominance so we are treating ourselves harshly as opposed to taking care of ourselves holistically. I hope you find ways to grieve, rest and heal.

Sometimes, it's a sense that it's dangerous to trust others or that those who were supposed to reliably provide and create safety couldn't or were irresponsible. I hope you find wonderful ways to play and relax. E.g. music, dance, etc. Even if it's just to yell in anger as music plays. Or watching stand up clips to get even brief moments of respite. You deserve care...including from yourself.

    All discipline starts with the mind ! You can have some one who doesn’t exercise their physical body but they exercise their mind. A while it is important to take care of both , discipline does not start with the body. It starts with one’s decision to meet this goal no matter what. It’s called mind over matter.

Easy to say, can be hard to do at times. Baby steps, keep the promises you make to yourself and others. Don't make promises you can't keep.

    I have been reading from his book The Daily Stoic since January 1st, which gives one 'lesson' or meditation a day based on monthly themes. I am amazed how often I am presented wtih a situation each day to consider and put into action what I read at 6AM from the book! Seven months into the year, it's made a significant and positive impact on my mindset (specifically how I percieve and can 'reframe' my thinking about different situations) - which, at the end of they day, has made me a happier person. I highly recommend and plan on giving the book as a gift for the holidays.

    I've read all of the comments. It's unfortunate that so many assess the guest by his perceived narcissism, boring delivery, and other human idiosyncrasies. It's because of Ryan sharing what he's learned and researched that I've read and learned more about this philosophy. When I'm served something that includes something that I don't want to eat , I don't eat it. Take your meat and throw the bones and fat away. Yes, consider the source, but don't shoot the messenger. His politics, parenting style may be anathema to yours, but the message of Stoicism, as well as other philosophies and religious expressions, in their basest form, are universal. I know I'm growing too be a better human because of what I've learned and continue to learn. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

    It's widely recognized that feelings of happiness and fulfillment are not achieved through discipline alone, but through compassion, love, and sacrifice. Fasting, for example, is a form of sacrifice but is incredibly beneficial for health. Being humble and simple is a sacrifice, but it brings so much to life. Being authentic is liberating. The person in the interview does not appear to be fulfilled; they do not have rosy ears, nose, or cheeks, nor do they have a face full of peace and serenity. Wouldn't it be better to listen to someone who is fulfilled about how to live? Fulfillment is not just about physical health, but also about mental and spiritual well-being. It involves practicing self-care, being kind to others, and finding purpose and meaning in life. It's about letting go of the need to impress others and instead focusing on being the best version of yourself. Ultimately, it's about finding balance and harmony in all aspects of life

      @@bhiveliveglobalneither, they influence eachother.
      Consider the Sailboat - the sail and the wind;
      The shape, size, and position of the sail can harness, resist, or redirect the wind. If the sails are in damaged, the wind cannot be fully utilised. If the boats hull is not secure, the boat takes on water. Different boat shapes perform differently in different types of water.
      Equally, the wind influences the sailboat. the wind can cause it to glide swiftly, or be stuck in a standstill. A strong favourable wind drives the boat forward efficiently, whilst a tumultuous wind can lead a boat astray, or lack of wind can leave the boat adrift.
      Neither has control over the other, but the physical state of the sailboat and the nature of the wind are essential for a succesful voyage.

    Discipline + structure really do create freedom.
    A lot of people who lack discipline, who claim to be free-spirited and live spontaneously, never get any of their meaningful goals accomplished because they're stuck aimlessly floundering around, at the mercy of all the free time they perceive to have.
    They forget about Memento Mori.
