Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic. Each weekday we bring you a meditation inspired by the ancient Stoic, something that can help you live up to those four

Stoic virtues of courage, justice, wisdom, and temperance. And here on the weekend we take a deeper dive into those same topics. We interview Stoic philosophers, we reflect, we prepare, we think deeply about the challenging issues of our time. And we work through this philosophy in a way that's more possible here when we're not rushing to worker to get the kids to school.

We have the time to think, to go for a walk, to sit with our journals and to prepare for what the future will bring.

Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Syrte and we are the hosts of a Redhanded, a weekly true crime podcast. Every week on Redhanded we get stuck into the most talked about cases.

From the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Shorthand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.

Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behavior. Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist?

Listen to Redhanded wherever you get your podcast, so in access our bonus shorthand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

Hey, it's Ryan in October of 2019. I went on tour. I left the last week of September and I basically did not get home until early November.

I saw my family a few times as we were able to meet up, but it was something like 25 or 30 different talks in like 20 different cities over a very short amount of time.

It was exhausting, exciting, exhilarating, cool, gratifying all at the same time. Obviously this was part of the launch of stillness is the key, which, which ended up debuting at number one on the New York Times list, which was wonderful and exciting and validating.

But, you know, obviously didn't compensate obviously in the moment didn't mitigate the bone ass tiredness that I felt.

And while I was on tour, I ended up doing a small swing through the Pacific Northwest. I did Vancouver, Seattle, Portland in three days.

And when I was in Vancouver, I spoke to think called EO, which is entrepreneurs organization. And I was mostly talking about ego, but I sort of closed the talk with a story I now tell lots of my talks. It tends to be popular with people, but it's the story about what it means to build stillness in your day.

And how I found it sort of living out on a farm in the countryside. You can watch a video of this part of the talk, but we thought we'd go over the audio of it.

But basically I just talk about sort of my routine and why the importance of building in stillness is so important and what it gets you. And I think at the end of the talk, we connect this back to this still a idea of momentum, Mori.

Why are we so anxious? Why are we always doing doing doing the anxiety of death is obviously a big big part of that. So here's the talk. I hope you like it.

I have very much enjoyed not being so busy since. And as I look towards this fall, the launch of my next book, this coronavirus pandemic is made, you know, the idea of doing a tour, not just scary, but probably impossible.

And so we'll see where things take us. So, you know, as as afraid and exhausted as I was, I was also trying to breathe it in, enjoy it, which is a big part of this idea of stillness too.

Because you never know whatever it is that you're doing as frustrating or exhausting as exciting or as routine as it may be when you'll get the opportunity to do it ever again.
