Last night it was not videos keeping me awake or doom scrolling. It was reading books. One non-fiction.. by Ryan Holiday, and the second a detective fiction novel. Oh the Joy of ADHD… even the Calm sleep stories could not quiet my mind. It was not insomnia, it was a mind that wanted to read and learn.

Glad someone understands😂

[@niceice33]

Thank God, my organism, after 9 pm, start to be "tired" and it is very easy for me to sleep and relax! ❤ I hope I can stay like this many, many years!!!! 🙏 I am, definitely, a morning people!!!

[@TheNatural2379.]

Ryan is awesome, I read chapter 5:1 of meditations everyday. But the point on the phone. I've struggled with and I've journaled it. I even reminded myself this morning of it. I walked into work with a plate full. Amazing channel and amazing author. Ryan is changing the world with this channel. I love stoicism.

[@heikelarsson]

Thank you Ryan, I needed this today!

[@carsonc1272]

Right now I have the luxury of putting sleep and rest first. After that I work hard into the evening. I really don't identify with the "wake up early" mantra and think that the important thing is actually "putting your day up for review". Why does it matter that I woke up early as long as the goals for the day were met? Morning people will push back on this but what I'm saying makes perfect sense. I am well rested AND I work for most of the day. I say DO NOT wake up early if this isn't in your nature. But do put your day up for review. Many stoic virtues conflict with each other. I feel like the important thing is knowing which ones to pull off of the shelf and when.

[@stankrajewski8255]

I have become a morning person. I wake up and have some quiet time. My wife is a night owl, and an afternoon sprinter. There is no intrinsic virtue in our schedules. These cave man philosophers had pretty crappy lighting. The species is evolving with the adoption of technology. I like the message of mindfulness and attention to the middle path. Dipping your toe in tech is a reality for many of us. I like to view temerance as moderation, rather than abstinence for most things.

[@user-rp5fw4oq2i]

I needed this video. Thank you.

[@MonicaRicciCoach]

He is describing Aristotle's Golden Mean, which states that any virtue, in either excess or deficiency. Take sleep / rest for example... It's my highest priority (a virtue) but in excess it becomes sloth. In deficiency it becomes destructive. When we have the awareness and discipline to deploy the Golden Mean in all areas of life, we are in the practice of self-mastery. 🙏

I have had severe insomnia for a long time with the passing of a loved one and then day or night shift work schedules. I intend to take this advice! Thank you

⁠@@R3dL1ght5Thank you for this, I’ve never heard this before.

[@vincaso]

@@R3dL1ght5was just about to say that lol ppl miss the other half of that quote

[@Essexkiwi]

@@R3dL1ght5true. So many people get that wrong , and say master of none. The original saying is attributed to Benjamin Franklin.

Which version of Meditations are you grabbing at 0:27, with the sleeve and the gold edge on the paper? It's gorgeous.

[@PsychiCorey]

Being stoic through the new longer beginning ads. Lol

[@superfanjd]

Ryan, you might be interested to read about the glymphatic system of the brain. Discovered only about 10 years ago, the brain only drains lymphatic fluid when asleep. Therefore, sleep deprivation is literally a poisoning of the brain from lack of drainage.

[@Mauly10]

which camera do you use if you don't mind telling me:) i want to know because the quality is so good and the resolution too. the quality is very sharp and clean and I like that a lot.

"8pm bedtime now" says Biden. Even he listens to Ryan! Maybe, it's too late to help ..... we'll see, won't we.

[@mariagordanier3404]

Take heart. Women would like to keep their. bodily autonomy and only one side is in favor of that..

[@mcgritty8842]

⁠​⁠@@mariagordanier3404at the core, bodily autonomy is freedom. Freedom of choice. We cannot live in fear. I’d like to think we will continue to go forward and not got backwards. I mean, how is an ex president convicted on 34 counts and people still support him as a presidential nominee? Very strange and trying times we live in, especially after his covid and economical screw ups that were handed over to the next guy…

[@OllieDYG]

I used to love your videos, now you they are just adverts masquerading as teachings.. all your videos are built round a product. Thank you for getting me into stoicism, but this is where I get off.

[@carsonc1272]

It isn't as clear in this video but I struggle to understand Ryan's hate for Elon. I have yet to hear anything justifiable.

[@mcgritty8842]

Maybe because Elon allows hate speech, racism, bigotry, and nazis to do as they please on Twitter. Modern society needs to move past those things, especially in the USA. Racism is still very prevalent and Elon has essentially encouraged it. Just a thought🤷‍♂️

[@alecmisra4964]

Elon derives kudos from decrying the incoming totalitarian tyranny whilst having his fingers in the pie of all the relevant technologies that make it possible. And he shows no cognitive dissonance about tnis. This doesnt sit well.
