You’re Not Dead Yet… | 9 Stoic Secrets For Self-Mastery (From Experts)

Marcus Aurelius was already quite old while writing [Meditations] (https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/meditations) . He was sick and surrounded by plague. Seneca was a marked man from the moment he left Nero’s service. But as aware as these men were of their ticking clocks, they were also quite aware that they were not dead yet. Seneca wrote many of his most beautiful letters in those final years. --- And in today's Daily Stoic video excerpt, Ryan shares 9 Stoic Secrets from some of the great thinkers of the modern world: Alexander Ludwig, Tom Brady's Sports Psychologist Greg Harden, Joe Rogan, Robert Greene, Guy Raz, Steven Pressfield, Tony Gonzalez, Carli Lloyd, and Chris Bosh that will help you get the most out of your life and continue on the path to self-mastery. ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: [https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail] (http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail) 🏛 Check out the [Daily Stoic Store] (https://store.dailystoic.com/) for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more. 📱 Follow us: [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/) , [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/dailystoic) , [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic) , [TikTok] (https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic) , [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic) See Privacy Policy at [https://art19.com/privacy] (https://art19.com/privacy) and California Privacy Notice at [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info] (https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info) . ...

You Really Can’t Hear This Enough | Practice Silence

One of the most highlighted passages in the digital version of [The Daily Stoic] (https://store.dailystoic.com/products/the-daily-stoic-signed-edition) is the December 9th quote from Seneca: “Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind. No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives—worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over. No person hands out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives! We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.” --- And with today's meditation on the day's Daily Journal excerpt, Ryan reminds us that it takes courage saying less and to be bold in your silence. That’s why we created our own additions to the rich history of memento mori, including: The [memento mori medallion] (https://store.dailystoic.com/products/memento-mori) , [memento mori signet ring] (https://store.dailystoic.com/products/memento-mori-premium-signet-ring) And the [memento mori pendant] (https://store.dailystoic.com/products/memento-mori-pendant-1) , All these were created to remind us that we must live NOW, while there is still time. ⏳ You can view our entire Memento Mori Collection at [dailystoic.com/mm] (http://dailystoic.com/mm) ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: [https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail] (http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail) 🏛 Check out the [Daily Stoic Store] (https://store.dailystoic.com/) for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more. 📱 Follow us: [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/) , [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/dailystoic) , [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic) , [TikTok] (https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic) , [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic) See Privacy Policy at [https://art19.com/privacy] (https://art19.com/privacy) and California Privacy Notice at [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info] (https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info) . ...

How To Improve Any Team With Ego Management And Silence

Today, Ryan presents a talk he gave to a group of coaches at the Tennessee Athletics Department about the core concepts of Stoicism and how they can apply them to their coaching practices in order to make their players, teams, and themselves better. In this second half of the talk, Ryan explains how the ego can be harnessed for the good of the team, the importance of coaches to model the attitude that they would like to see in their athletes, how finding moments to be still helps the competitor stay even keeled during the highs and the lows, and more. ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: [https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail] (http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail) 🏛 Check out the [Daily Stoic Store] (https://store.dailystoic.com/) for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more. 📱 Follow us: [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/) , [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/dailystoic) , [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic) , [TikTok] (https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic) , [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic) See Privacy Policy at [https://art19.com/privacy] (https://art19.com/privacy) and California Privacy Notice at [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info] (https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info) . ...

Nate Boyer On Striving For Excellence In Everything

Ryan speaks with Nate Boyer in the first of a two-part interview about what serving six years and multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Green Beret taught him about life, how he was able to become an NFL starter at a position he had never played before, how he is striving to be great in his television career, and more. Nate Boyer is a United States Army Green Beret, former football player, actor, director, producer, and television host. Despite never having played a down of organized football in his life, Nate played college football as a walk-on at the University of Texas, and he was later signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2015. In 2004, Nate became a relief worker shortly before enlisting in the Army and being accepted into the Green Berets. He earned an honorable discharge after six years of service, after which he pursued a career in film and television. Since then, he has appeared in an ESPN documentary about his life, the film Den of Thieves, the show Mayans M.C., the video game Madden NFL 18, and many other notable media properties. Nate currently hosts the Discovery channel reality competition series Survive the Raft. In 2022, Nate wrote, directed, and starred in the acclaimed film [MVP] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qztNOSLdz0s) .

You Either Are Or You Aren’t | Your Actual Needs Are Small

It’s impossible not to read [Marcus Aurelius] (https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/meditations) or [Seneca] (https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/philosophy13?_pos=4&_sid=1c88cf0c4&_ss=r) and sense that they were always working. Not that they were literally always at the office–as we said, they believed in a kind of [work life balance] (https://dailystoic.com/this-is-the-secret/) –but on themselves. They were studying. They were reflecting. They were asking questions. Late at night after his wife went to sleep, Seneca would pull out his [journals and evaluate the day] (https://dailystoic.com/journaling/) , going over what he’d done well, where he didn’t live up to his standards. Marcus, most famously, was seen as an old man, picking up his tablets and heading off to attend a lecture by Sextus, a wise teacher. --- And in today's excerpt from The Daily Stoic, Ryan explains why it feels so beneficial accepting what you think is normal, the importance on understanding why your actual needs are small, and living by stoics like Seneca who believe that nothing can satisfy greed. ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: [https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail] (http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail) 🏛 Check out the [Daily Stoic Store] (https://store.dailystoic.com/) for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more. 📱 Follow us: [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/) , [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/dailystoic) , [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic) , [TikTok] (https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic) , [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic) See Privacy Policy at [https://art19.com/privacy] (https://art19.com/privacy) and California Privacy Notice at [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info] (https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info) . ...

It’s Ok To Break | Ask DS

When Marcus Aurelius heard that his beloved teacher Fronto had lost a grandchild, he sent him a letter. Perhaps, if you believe in the stereotype of the unfeeling Stoic, you might expect that this letter was intended to buck his friend up, or attempted to remind the grieving Fronto that loss was a part of life and something we had to be prepared for. In our recent [interview with Professor Martha Nussbaum] (https://dailystoic.com/professor-martha-nussbaum-on-humanitys-obligation-to-protect-animal-rights/) on the [Daily Stoic podcast] (https://dailystoic.com/podcast/) , we talked about this exchange. --- And in today's Ask Daily Stoic, Ryan answers questions from a conference of tech and e-commerce entrepreneurs after a talk he gave in downtown Austin. The topics that he covers include how Ryan manages his time between writing books and creating content,why he searches for wisdom from a wide variety of sources, and how we can balance our decisions with the context that we are making them in. 📕 You can learn more about the tragedy and triumphs of Marcus Aurelius’ life as well as those of Cicero’s in [Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius] (https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/ryan9?_pos=1&_sid=2615fcf54&_ss=r&variant=40308614267034) . ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: [https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail] (http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail) 🏛 Check out the [Daily Stoic Store] (https://store.dailystoic.com/) for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more. 📱 Follow us: [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/) , [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/dailystoic) , [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic) , [TikTok] (https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic) , [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic) See Privacy Policy at [https://art19.com/privacy] (https://art19.com/privacy) and California Privacy Notice at [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info] (https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info) . ...

Jake Seliger On Cancer, Acceptance, And The Gift Of Life

Ryan speaks with Jake Seliger about how his cancer diagnosis and having his tongue removed have changed his perspective on life, why he is prioritizing people much more highly than work now, how he is making every single minute count, what he is trying to communicate with his recent outpouring of creativity, accepting death, and more. Jake Seliger is a writer, editor, and researcher. He has written two novels: [The Hook] (https://geni.us/IcYlZ) and [Asking Anna] (https://geni.us/dBoppOS) , as well as many [essays] (https://jakeseliger.com/essays/) covering a wide range of social and scientific subjects. Jake is also the Principal of [Seliger + Associates] (https://seliger.com/) , a grant writing and grant source service for nonprofits, public agencies and selected businesses throughout the United States. In October of 2022, Jake was diagnosed with tongue cancer, which called for the complete removal of his tongue. Despite that surgery, a later diagnosis found that the cancer had spread more quickly than expected, and tumors were found in his neck and lungs. He and his family are now raising funds to undergo the next round of treatments. Jake’s own account of the surgeries and reflections on his experiences can be read here: [jakeseliger.com/2023/09/09/life-swallowing-tasting-and-speaking-after-a-total-glossectomy-meaning-i-have-no-tongue] (https://jakeseliger.com/2023/09/09/life-swallowing-tasting-and-speaking-after-a-total-glossectomy-meaning-i-have-no-tongue/) .

Consider The Cost Of Those Perks | No Pain, No Gain

During the American Revolution—as in any war—the British quite rightly targeted the estates and the landholdings of the leadership on the American side. Because to them, these men weren’t founders—they were instigators. At one point in the war, George Washington’s estate was threatened by advancing troops. Thinking he might be able to save his boss’s property, one of Washington’s overseers rushed out to try to convince the enemy to spare them. When Washington heard about this, he was not pleased. In fact, he wrote immediately to his staff:I’d rather my home be demolished than receive special treatment. --- And in today's excerpt from The Daily Stoic, Ryan explains why the competition found in sports is such a great space for planting and sowing the seeds of resilience, determination, and courage that directly transfer into a life well lived. ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: [https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail] (http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail) 🏛 Check out the [Daily Stoic Store] (https://store.dailystoic.com/) for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more. 📱 Follow us: [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/) , [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/dailystoic) , [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic) , [TikTok] (https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic) , [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic) See Privacy Policy at [https://art19.com/privacy] (https://art19.com/privacy) and California Privacy Notice at [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info] (https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info) . ...
