Malcolm X part....I love the idea of using your deadline to your most alive time....the idea that every moment in some way we can get stronger and stronger is so inspiring
The best thing happened to me during this pandemic : Robert Greene, Ryan Holiday, then it leads me to Stoic Philosophy 🙏🏼 Hard time, but I start appreciating everything happening to me 🙏🏼 I’m slowly but changing !!!! Thank you
@@raymondtendau2749 Ok, so you compete but you don't win? You build but you don't complete? What is the point of that? Ego is all about outcome. It's why we exist!
The majority of the worlds religions teach the same thing - be humble and learn. This makes sense that this universal idea was.echoed in the religions and major secular thinkers before, during and after Christianity.
You've just blown my head off🤯 !! I always look at the world with a positive attitude and try to be humble too but I just had to subscribe to your channel sooooo much truth in what your saying. Love ❤️ what you do ! keep up the good work!👍🏾🙌🏾
I'm just 8 min into this talk and already I can see how good Ryan has become in delivering his talk. He is sharper with great flow and punchlines in between. Really engaging to watch. I have seen most of his previous talks and I can really tell the difference in the before and now. Great job sir. Great job.
Keeping ego at bay by always striving to get better could be the most impactful part for me. But the part that exposes how ego limits us is very useful also.
Working, studying, learning and working out, and be around other people are great methods for keeping yourself humble and gracious. Staying home alone and engaging in social media will easily create a puffed-up ego and false image. This is why having any kind of job is so important.
My ego is my friend, we hang out... Some say they have a soul, I am a soul and I have an ego. When I finally learned the difference between the the two voices, everything changed...
The idea that you should lean on confidence over ego and confidence is based on your experiences, learning and practice of your craft! Leaning on ego is like walking with your shoes untied, eventually you will trip up.
Super inspiring for everybody. We all struggle with our ego. Its so much more attractive to have your own personal successes yet remain humble throughout.
Hello Ryan. How the fuck did you learn so much at such a young age. I have a tremendous amount of respect and gratitude for you. You are a great student, teacher and a mentor. Thanks and wish you all the humility .
This message takes on a new meaning during those crazy time! Instead of watching tv, scroll though SM, take a book, learn, so we can leave the isolation better than when it's all started!
I hope this will be mandated curriculum in every classroom from this day forward, starting in 8th grade, or high school. Your ideas are big. People will see how valuable this is, probably late.
What a great video! The most impactful were the examples of leaders who do the right thing when the right thing affects them negatively. Such an aspirational goal!
The reality of his words and how he defines this mindset to live freely with being intune with oneself " humility and being present , learning to not worry about anything ...
I´m almost done with this video, but the one thing that caught my attention is post-traumatic growth. I once injured my whole back practicing archery and I was forced to take an 8 month break. When I came back, I had the best season of my life and that was even better when I missed half of it due to the injury
Where is the video where Ryan talks about the toxic news cycle? He talks about how news is always "breaking" or "developing" and how news is designed not to inform but to sell ads.
Marcus Aurelius: "Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
Do not put too much emphasis on humility and gratitude no matter how nice these qualities are, because they won't necessarily drive you forward. Also, every person is wired differently and someone is more naturally humble than others. But there are many ways to Rome (ego or not), and thus - what people really should be focusing on is their strengths and abilities and go their own way. There are many more people out there with a sense of false humility who are too scared to take big risks and really make it (and thus secretly hate and envy those who have a more grandiosity spirit) than people who have the guts to be who they really want to be. Being constantly humble, following the herd and keep your head down with gratitude is not a great recipe for success... It's just people deluding themselves to think they are so "good", but really just afraid...
I watch your videos and I think it's working out many thanks iv led a HECTIC SELF CENTRED APPROACH TO LIFE IM TRYING TO BE A BETTER PERSON THAN BEFORE AND THESE ARE HELPING ME 💯💚✌
Memento Mori is often a very and awkwardly misunderstood meaning: Lots of people do not realise how life can end abruptly, i.e. my own life can cease at any instant, and then my questions would be ...what have I done with it? Have I done the right thing? Just hope to have revealed it in the end. Very good speech.
Memento Mori is actually, if you read it, one of the principles of The Bushido Code. It prompts every Samurai to imagine himself on his death bed, looking back at his life, and asking himself what he regrets and what he would have done differently.

“The greatest ego-trip around is getting rid of your ego.” - Alan Watts You can’t avoid ego bc it doesn’t exist...it’s an idea you have about your who you are.
Ego is like a persona that basis comes from other external factor, like telling yourself you’re the greatest. Like affirmations that you’re special, that you deserve the title or your great because of stats instead of doing things that you want. Ego will remove when you stop measuring yourself based on other people’s opinions and other worldly standards. That’s why when you remove your Ego it’s very liberating.
I learn so much from you, THANK YOU!!!!!!! social media is the enemy it distract me from being my best potential, it consumes my mind an I feel drained afterwards
Because of this message of all I have listened to from u...I wanted to subscribe twice🤣, infact I wanted to like twice, but truth is i needed this so much
For me, inner scorecard makes most sense because lot of other things I am already familiar with and have been practicing lot of it with some success; inner scorecard and external scorecard is the key for me. It also keeps me humble and keeps me stay away from ego. After watching this video now I sleep well because now I know I am doing my very best and measure myself against my internal scorecard…I still need to find what I would like to have in my inner scorecard but I have few things and already helping me. I see this concept relatable to ‘ Not giving F**k’ mantra of Mark manson’s book.
Please don't call Exodus a mediocre band, they are still one of the best and most legendary thrash bands in the world even if they are not as known as Metallica.
Ego is a edifice built out of the increasing self awareness of the mortal feeling child in relation to the world it lives in. What it is made out of becomes its expression. Usually it becomes a reaction to suffering and death.
Aloha Ryan, I love your stoic messages! I want my 11 year old granddaughter to hear them. However, I hesitate due to the not very often but, in my opinion, unnecessary expletives. In the future, could they be beeped out? Please? Thank you!
to get better every day dont think you know it all no matter what you already know and have done and prepare for the setbacks in life and fokus on what is in your control . the internal scorecard.
Love your example of the guitarist for Metallica. That's the difference between someone who creates from the heart with passion as a supposed to someone who does it for money. Wonderful, terrific presentation. It's just important to meet one's own needs. To go within and listen to your own guidance. I took over a month off on social media it was wonderful. Sure I missed it at first but, I've learned solitude is a good thing if you want to hear what you have to say to yourself. Thank you...do the next right thing. It's my moto to too!
What's your opinion on the 50th law were Robert talks about people with a strong ego pg 262 I agree that ego is the enemy but do you think you should see ego as an ally and developing a strong ego if only for a day to develop a fearless attitude? Or do you think ego in all its form is useless?
The beautiful of ancient philosophy. its that you can applied that knowledge to this amazing moment in our lives. and if humanity learn how to management his own egos the world. would be completely different in any sense. by the way! awesome video :)
What were the most impactful parts of this talk for you?
The humbleness of focusing on getting better all the time rather than stroking your ego. (The Metallica part).
Malcolm X part....I love the idea of using your deadline to your most alive time....the idea that every moment in some way we can get stronger and stronger is so inspiring
@@Human_Evolution- an amazing example of adopting the student's mindset
@@fellow9yro578 If Malcolm X can turn jail time into alive time, we can turn our days of freedom into alive time certainly
Daily Stoic The internal vs external score card part was big for me.
A great antidote to the Golden Age of Narcissism.

wow so true!!!
perfectly said
Each night before bed I always find myself thinking about how lucky I am to be alive and able to experience the precious moments life gives us.

I am crying as I hear this, I wish I had been schooled in this. I should have known this 60 years ago. In middle to high school and college.
Very easy to lose sight of these things day to day. Good talk
My ego is my friend, we hang out... Some say they have a soul, I am a soul and I have an ego. When I finally learned the difference between the the two voices, everything changed...
The death of the ego is the awaken of the soul; ego is the enemy.
The idea that you should lean on confidence over ego and confidence is based on your experiences, learning and practice of your craft! Leaning on ego is like walking with your shoes untied, eventually you will trip up.
Ego is the engine that drives confidence. Without Ego there is nothing.
Super inspiring for everybody. We all struggle with our ego. Its so much more attractive to have your own personal successes yet remain humble throughout.

“Why shall the Roman people suffer if I don’t feel it first “ absolutely love that
For someone so young...yr insights are wonderful...just shows how a soul is ageless.....bravo!👍

"I write about the ancient stoics a lot in my books"

We can all learn from Buddy! :)
Great summary. I'm fairly familiar with stoicism and keep it close to my hear but this brings it back down to earth well.
As a guitarist , you touched my soul
Learn it till you earn it.
Great video.
Love this perspective.
Where is the video where Ryan talks about the toxic news cycle? He talks about how news is always "breaking" or "developing" and how news is designed not to inform but to sell ads.
"Fake it till you make it." Another meaning: Act he way you want to be and one day you will become the way you act.
That's how I interpret this phrase.. Subconsciously we need to believe that we can achieve our goals..
I'm impressed by how clear and moving your message is, officially a new subscriber!
Such an enlightening lecture. Simple yet profound. Thanks Ryan👍👍

“The greatest ego-trip around is getting rid of your ego.” - Alan Watts
You can’t avoid ego bc it doesn’t exist...it’s an idea you have about your who you are.
So what we should do?
@@pedroarrosi6324 That is the question. Isn't it?
Why do you need something to do?
Ego is like a persona that basis comes from other external factor, like telling yourself you’re the greatest.

Ego will remove when you stop measuring yourself based on other people’s opinions and other worldly standards. That’s why when you remove your Ego it’s very liberating.
