Ryan Holiday must be sooo lucky for having Robert Greene as his mentor. Old man's wisdom for young age philosopher.

[@liabobia]

Thank you Robert, I am looking forward to discussing your books with my child, after she acquires language. Thank you for helping me love history, and love humans as they are.

I’m 25 and found this way of life a few months ago. Its priceless content. Timeless lessons. This shit has genuinely changed my life. It isn’t easy at the most intense moments but truly trying makes a big difference. Life really is as good as you see it. Momento Morí Folks🙌🏾

[@georgiafrancis9059]

you should have said "this timeless information" instead of "sh*t", but then I realize you are only 25 and don't know any better. Time you grow up.

[@moxie77]

Ryan, thank you so much for the wisdom you share in each video. I didn't know much at all about Athenian Stoicism until I began watching your content, and for me, because I've struggled for 35+ years with anxieties, OCD, severe depression, and chronic suicidal ideation, you have been a literal life saver. Learning about (devouring) Stoicism and adopting the concept of being conscious of my immediate, emotional reactions to situations, people, and the sense that something bad is always going to happen, and then, when I was ready, intentionally controlling my reactions to those things, has changed my life. Thank you.

[@brandoncraddock8846]

I need to build the bridge between stoicism and the 48 laws of power. They seem to be at odds with one another unless you apply the power to greater good.

[@Sophia-arena]

Wow.... I love every minute of this talk show

[@aanchaallllllll]

[@WARFIGHTER-63]

Stoicism has made me a better husband, friend, and most importantly a better human! Living with Arete. Thanks Ryan👍

[@vegasdave9825]

Thank you both for the books you have written!!!! Life changing!!!

[@FaridEmame]

Just discovered you. Bought Meditations. Subscribed to your daily stoicism. Bought you and Robert greens book. And just got my tickets for September 19th. I look forward to changing my view on life.

[@georgiafrancis9059]

Why "look forward" to changing, begin right now.

Great Book! Thanks Ryan!

Beautiful inspirational video. Thanks to you both.

such an impactful video. the discourse between you both is something powerful and I am grateful.

[@liljemark1]

One of your best recent videos 👌 Thank you Ryan and Robert.

[@chantelbritton-cole397]

I watched this one 3 times..I gained so much from it. Thank you both

[@LookAtDat4ss]

Thank you both for inspiring me to write again 🎉❤

[@j.d.youtube6557]

Do it man. You have things to say creatively.

[@LookAtDat4ss]

@@j.d.youtube6557 you my dude 🤜💥🤛

[@chrishollandsworth6700]

So glad I found this content. Instant 'sub' from me. I hope that stoic wisdom will return to the consideration of the masses, and maybe even replace the sillyness that we've been preoccupied with (religion and spirituality)

[@azhaanebrahim4887]

Amor fati my favorite quote😎💯

[@PsychiCorey]

Best intro nugget of veritas. The need for certainty is the greatest weakness to anything creative

[@mattstapleton9584]

Use the Alexander Technique to better implement stoic principles - AT allows us to use our minds and bodies in the most efficient way - purely from a bio-mechanical pov - Frederick Mathias Alexander (Australian actor born 1880 ish) called it taking control of our psycho-physical organism - counter intuitively the process involves mentally ceding control - stopping yourself from trying to be right in your ‘use of yourself’ - another fave Alexander phrase

Thanks a lot Ryan. This is some powerful life changing s*** dude.

Ryan: Are you just a collection of quotes?

[@mydemon]

Ryan Holliday occasionally is a little much however his respect for his mentor is to be commended.

[@lukeclaydon6670]

Good 👍

Is there a Live Talks LA coming up? or were you referring to a past event?

[@davidoreilly6717]

Seriously??? One of the greatest minds of our time?? This constant commercialisation of Stoicism is getting very tiring.. opting out here and thanks for the good parts over the years.

[@T_D_B_]

The point to complaining against the corruption and injustice of the pandemic is to MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN

[@RobertEbbster]

Around the 5 minute mark: I get that. Absolutely - its great advise but I thought about it as 'meaning' intead of fulfilllment (as the correct word)

[@pmakiie]

I don‘t think it has to necessarily be about meaning. Maybe in this specific case. But it is about investing energy in something „real“ that you set your mind to. Alternative example: I was practicing the handstand for the past 6 months. It‘s very fulfilling but not meaningful (for me).

[@RobertEbbster]

@@pmakiie yes,that's what I mean - your example. I don't feel or do those things to be fulfilled but because it's meaningful in the context if my life. I cant quite grasp the concept if fulfilllment. i don't think i need to be fulfilled and don't long for it.thank you for your answer.

[@RobertEbbster]

I rather fill the void with smth. meaningful instead if getting fulfilled if you want to say it like that.. i know we are essentially talking abouth the samr, right?

[@pmakiie]

@@RobertEbbster Thank you for the reply as well! So interesting to see that we associate those words kind of the other way round :) Meaning for me has something external and objective to it, so i try to avoid using it. With „fulfillment“ I want to express something that simply makes me happy in my own tiny cosmos. Cheers!

[@RobertEbbster]

@@pmakiie i found this to be very interesting and keep this conversation in memory and as a reference in print-out. Thank you for the exchange and all the best in your endeveaours.

This book can be used in very, very negative ways. Someone who is very aware of his doing can be manipulative all the way - with purpose.

[@Create-The-Imaginable]

Just like the Force in Star Wars! There is a Yin and Yang to everything!

[@yasinimalya4001]

😂 I strong agree

[@nycfotograf]

So can literally any book. Has the bible never been used in “very, very negative ways”?

[@TheMisterGriswold]

Have listened to Greene enough to know that his philosophy is destructive. Shame this is on Daily Stoic.

[@dsmyify]

Yeah absolutely. The Laws of Power is not Stoicism, it's Machiavellism.

[@Lockstepmind]

He shouldn’t be having a hard time selling his books. Just remember younger generations don’t read books

[@i_am_an_idiot_but]

That is a very generalized statement

[@Lockstepmind]

@@i_am_an_idiot_but I didn’t mean for it to come out that way.

[@vladyslavstepulenko8155]

they don't until the questions for which they have no answers come up

[@PrimitiveFuturologist_YTC]

This was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. Not that it was badly written, just that the premise is abominable ‘No point in being good, because everyone else is out to screw you over, so might as well get there first’. It destroys your faith in humanity and in many ways is the opposite of what the stoics practiced.

[@marcel191]

That’s the ironic - and I think it goes AGAINST every stoic mindset.

[@dm4life579]

Maybe we should change the channel's name to "The Power Stoic".

[@sparky1386]

It's your choice to see it that way.

[@marcel191]

@@sparky1386 love that

[@stormsurge1850]

@@marcel191This isn’t a self help book, you’re not supposed to follow all these “laws.” This is clearly explained in the VERY beginning of the book. Do all of you just skip the preface of every book you read, or have you not read it at all?

[@denismaftei691]

why you show yourself that much you are narcisist ?

[@amjad2798]

I think besides being a mentor and student , Robert and Ryan might be relatives, both of them have Jewish backgrounds for sure.

Robert Greene is an original thinker…..Ryan Holiday - a plagiarist
