The ancient Stoic philosophers came from almost every imaginable background.
One was a slave, another was emperor. One was a water carrier, another a famous playwright. Some were merchants, others were independently wealthy. Some were Senators and others were soldiers. What they all had in common was the philosophy that they practiced. Whether they were chafing under the shackles of slavery or leading the Roman army, they focused not on the external world but on what was solely in their own control: Their own thoughts, their own actions, their beliefs.
In this video Ryan Holiday reads some short biographies of some of the most influential stoics, including Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Cato, Zeno, and more. It’s important to remember that these are only the Stoics whose names survive to us-for every one of them there are dozens or hundreds of other brilliant, brave minds whose legacy is lost to us.

Ryan you talk about how these people in the past have left a lasting legacy to many people. I think you are on your way to being one of those people. It may not be your work necessarily but sharing these ideas and inspiring your viewers is leaving a huge impact.
It is his work man ,do you understand how much time and effort he's put in to translating the meaning of ancient writings. I think Ryan has reached more people with their message than they ever could have imagined
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉😂🎉😂🎉
Please do a stoic video on why we shouldn’t get upset by current media and social media. People get triggered so easily now and dwell on what the media tell us and what their friends and family are telling them on social media.
The answer's simple brother. It's upto you as an individual to react or to be triggered by something which is out of control. Focusing on what's in our control is what matters, and reaction or triggering is in our control. reacting on social media means that you are letting the social media have control and effect on you instead of being in your self-control.
I had to download a good news app. I unsubscribed to the doom & gloom. I'm sure so much is accurate but so much is also sensationalized for shock value. B4 u know it ur brain has been contaminated w/horrible sights & stories. I can't change what's happening halfway across the globe. If I walk outside & see someone I can help,I do. If something happens globally I'm going to hear about it. I don't need to go searching for it. If I can somehow donate to help victims, I will. This constant borage of negativity is awful for our mental & physical being
@@numbernine3436im guilty of that ..without getting too much but i feel personally and mentally exhausted. I see the rampant hate towardd my community..the media headlines its really making me miserable. I am so consumed by it..
Good idea!
People also go out and act upon things they hear from the media and some may even be propaganda to misinformation either from the public or the media itself.
This is literally one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life, I'm crying.
"I've seen"
Success depends on the actions and steps you got to take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits, such as regularly setting aside money for sound investments.

Just signed up for the email newsletter! I have been doing independent studies on Stoicism for a month and realized how closely aligned this philosophy is with my core values. I have felt so inspired by stoic teachings, even stoic physics is intriguing! I am absolutely delighted to have found this Chanel. Looking forward to this journey for the acquisition of knowledge and truth!
We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.
I am in a chapter of my life where nothing I do has to do with myself. We must work and work a lot to live and provide. Even when we come home after work, there are many tasks to be done out of obligation. I find myself to physically mentally and emotionally exhausted to find pleasure and other things or be creative. I’m searching for that stillness. I’m looking for the little pleasures along the way, but they are scarce it seems that this life has less to do with me and more to do with, what I can give, offer, change something for the better. I think in coming to understand that this is freedom, i’ve tried to build this life in reflection to what I feel passionate about, but life pushes me most often times back to a mundane robotic like process. Like an ant, living out his days, carrying out the task needed of him.
I enjoy your videos so much! These give me so much insight and perspective
Thankyou Ryan. I have read almost all your books and watched almost all your UA-cam videos. Can't tell you how much you have enriched my life. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Thank you for insights on stoicism.
I Love it! Thanks for sharing with us more of Marcus Aurelios lessons!
Wow. Awesome Ryan.
This is your best video so far. Yes, I love your videos. But this one is a masterpiece.
Great post! Was this AI Ryan reading this? Doesn’t sound like a normal cadence…?
Totally an AI Ryan speaking.
I was going to say something similar.... Maybe a script read that didn't have the normal passion we are used to
I'm glad it's not just me. I found this very hard to listen to...
It doesn't matter
Thank you.
great content.
Watched this twice, love your work man
How did you deal with his robot reading voice? Unbearable
Is was great thank you 🙏 😊.
🎉🎉🎉Great women and men🎉🎉🎉 Thank you.
This video had me tears bro
Can u tell us more about Porcia Cato 30:27 🙏🏾
I want that book 😢
Some people say that anyone who shows a hint of stoicism may need mental help because they're covering their emotions, yet we can see that stoicism anything but hiding yoru emotions, its more knowing that yes there may be times when you struggle but overall its managing those emotions and understanding them.
Didn't know Marcus went thru so much
🖤👏
4:32 why this sound effect😅😅😅
THIS WOULD BE FAAAR MORE IMPACTFUL WITHOUT ALL THE ADDS… ugh And I am a subscriber to your emails
Are we to frame this idea of accepting the adversity of life the same when it’s self imposed? Not to suggest that being a slave is somehow easier to accept than subjugating yourself to bad conditions, but there is an element of anger toward oneself when the conditions were self imposed.
👍
Hey Ryan, is it that Marcus was masculine and feminine?
Galatians 6 "Brothers and sisters, even if a person is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting, but to himself alone, and not to another."
What's with the monotone narration?
At the end money wins 😉
Move to Mexico
Allah u Akbar.
. Praying for the world
All lives matter
All lives matter.
Happy I moved to Mexico in 2021 at 79.
RIP Everyone,
The greedy are stealing our money.

Didn't the bronze statue survive because latter roman citizens mislabeled the statue to be Constantine? -Asking for a friend.
Lots of Philosophers. Not many Buddhas.
'virtue is not about thinking you are better than anyone else '....no kidding? For some reason when I'm searching for a podcast to relax after a long day, I usually find the ones with British accents more stimulating and enlightening. Maybe it's just me. 🤷
Thanks for the continues update😊 I'd rather trade the Crypto market as its more profitable. I make an average of $15,000 per week even though I barely trade myself
Who asked?
Apparently, the Stoics will walk away if you are being attacked or murdered. Because, you know, it is what it is.
That is a weird way of interpret the stoic way of living... I don´t ever think anything like that is teached, or believed in Stocism as i know?
@@Besotted85 check out the story when Marcus Aurelius walked away from a street murder and how he justified it.
@@user-db6wv4rd9m Can you link it ?
Well, maybe if you see somebody really being murdered and there's nothing you can do, maybe it is better to walk away.
What you could do in this case is notify the authorities.
What can someone do if one is murdered.
Every case would be different, I think.
I'd say both really. Stoics will do their best to win a losing battle, but they also would drop it and ignore it if it doesn't matter like if it's just to gain attention. Can you cite or perhaps give a source to the story you speak of so we may have a fair verdict?
Ryan this sounds like AI trained in your voice. It’s not natural and without emotion.
