Use These STOIC Virtues to Achieve GREATNESS | Ryan Holiday on Conversations with Tom

[@TomBilyeu]

Have you read into Stoic philosophy before? If so, what is your favorite virtue and why?

[@Mik.189]

Thank you Tom Bilyue for this👍👍👍👍

[@marlak4253]

I have not read Stoic philosophy, but have read several human development theorists, and discovered the empiricism of some theories, which I prefer as paradigms(Freud, Kohlberg, Bronfenbrenner, others). I enjoyed your conversation with Ryan Holiday on his life's virtues of courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom leading to greatness. I believe his "greatness" may be equivalent to what Kohlberg discovered as the highest level of human development and functioning (stage six). Ryan is able to face the racism of the past, but does he have the courage to face the presence of racism in American culture and institutions today? Does he believe America, the nation, can move forward in these virtues without coming to terms with the role of racism in both history, and more importantly, current American culture?

Thank you so much for this!!! Perfect timing after getting fired by standing by my morals after 14 years in medical and dealing with the anxiety of this decision

[@cthornton523]

Epictetus has been my dude since childhood. And Temperance is my favorite...because I suck at it. Loving the resurgence of Stoicism in popular culture. My grandmother, a retired teacher, would be thrilled to the bone. Well done, Tom!

[@lisacontreras2055]

Yes!! Love Stoic philosophy and Ryan Holiday is an amazing story teller to package it in such a way that makes it insanely useful in our current world. My favorite virtue is wisdom. Just because I think it is one of the most underrated and neglected. Wisdom is so difficult and requires a lifetime of reaching to just touch the fringes. Excellent conversation!

[@gardencali-arkansasstyle6995]

When I was in the hospital in Santa Monica, 3 years ago. My doctor saw me reading Ryan’s book, “The obstacles is the way’. She told me, he was a friend of her, and his book would help me as much as the medical treatment would help. She was Right!! Thank you Mr. Ryan

Very true, I think so many of people’s negative attitudes/laziness are due to cowardice…they have opted out of society rather than tackling to challenges in front of them. I find myself sometimes slipping then I remind myself that the alternative is me becoming a cynical blob with no hope or happiness in my life.

[@dd81807]

Ryan is right on. We live in a twisted political world where the most skilled or qualified person doesn’t always get the job or position. Instead, is looked upon as a threat by their superiors. By superiors I mean people up in the food chain, who are trying to keep their positions.

“Jumping on a grenade is not brave unless you are doing it to protect someone else.” Good stuff.

[@leahs638]

At 52.00 minutes, or thereabout, Tom and Ryan discuss the issue of when to know whether you're being reckless vs. brave...when hesitating can be a genuine consideration for the high stakes risk you're thinking about making or whether the hesitation is based on fear and survival-based intuition. At that point, I remembered something Tom said in one of his Q&A rant-type videos where he says, that a moment of fear or hesitation is evidence of stakes. That we should go in the direction of where the stakes are high simply because stakes are evidence of meaning and what matters to you. I can't exactly remember the phrasing he used but ultimately it highlighted this:- the fact that this decision is bothering you so much, or like Ryan described 'if it wasn't as high stakes you wouldn't have this much hesitation', means that there is something to actually doing this thing, otherwise you'd just basically just choose the thing that ensures your basic survival.

People today are no less hypocrites than Thomas Jefferson. He grew up and lived during a time when slavery was legal. We did not. What moral right do we have to look down on people of those past generations for their failings, while patting ourselves on the back in the midst of our own hypocricies? Killing children because they are inconvenient and hidden from sight, is arguably worse than slavery. There is just no getting around that.

[@rfreeze]

1) Saying people today are hypocrites and therefore cannot critique is like saying we cannot judge Hitler because people today commit crimes. Makes zero sense. 2) We have a moral right to look down on enslavers...because we know it was morally wrong. And so did Tomas Jefferson. 3) Killing children and hiding them is not NEARLY as pervasive, historically speaking, as American slavery - which lasted or almost 300 years and involved millions! And, by the way, children were killed at the hands of enslavers during that period - only they didn't bother to hide it! 4) To your point....there's just no getting around that.

One way to create a habit for a better life is creating a morning ritual. Maybe you like to go for a run. Or, maybe you like to meditate or enjoy a healthy breakfast. Whatever it is that makes you feel supercharged, kickstart your day with that habit. Establishing a meaningful morning ritual helps you start your day on a positive, proactive note. Having a structured start to your day instead of rushing to make up for the lost time also helps eliminate stress, mental fatigue and enhances your productivity. Don’t know where to begin?

Here’s a man with true courage. You can see our racial past for what it iwas and is without guilt as long as we are all putting a stop to injustices; shoving it under the rug and tell descendants they’re crazy. That means, equal pay for equal qualifications and work. But it has to start at the individual level. Institutions or groups of people won’t do it. They will hide and blame the victim. The ask for change will get stalled for decades if we don’t take individual responsibilities. People like this writer gives me hope in American’s humanity.

Virtues are for balance. Majority of the population strives for survival, wealthy in pursuit of pleasure or gratification, so virtues doesn't matter to most of the population.
