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, it is Matt and Alice from British Scandal here and we wanted to let you know that this season we are very excited to be covering the Cambridge Spies.

Check, check, and double check. You can search and follow British Scandal wherever you listen to podcasts, or listen early and ad free via the OneDriPlus subscription in Apple Podcasts or the OneDri app.

Hey, it's GuyRaz here and on my podcast how I built this, I talked to the founders behind some of the world's biggest and most innovative companies like Starbucks, Google, and Pedagonia.

And together we discuss all of the skills these leaders have learned along the way, like how to solve complex problems and how to lead through uncertainty.

But how I built this isn't your average business podcast. By tapping into the hearts and minds of entrepreneurs, we better understand how they use adversity as fuel to help them persevere through challenges or overcome setbacks and achieve their goals.

And these aren't just conversations about the past. My guests and I also explore the novel and world-changing ideas they're pursuing right now.

The goal of our podcast is to inspire you to approach challenges like their opportunities, just like an entrepreneur. So check out how I built this on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey everyone, it's Ryan. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic. As you know, the launch of lives of the Stoics is almost upon us. We just started putting up the pre-order stuff. You can check that out at DailyStoic.com slash lives of all the lives.

I think that are the most complex, the most complicated, but also the most modern and relatable.

In addition, the top of my book is Sonica. Santa has got to be it. It was fascinating to write about him, to talk about him. You know, my sort of dance with Santa.

And then the more you study the man, the greater the depth and the complexity and the, in some cases, the hypocrisy of the words hits you.

And then in other cases, the beauty and the profundity of the words hits you. You know, when Sonica is talking about mortality, the memento mori that threads through his work.

And then there's a guy who, through most of his youth, thought he was going to suffocate and die. He had some sort of lung condition. We're not totally sure what it was.

This is a guy that was exiled. This is a guy who was sentenced to death by multiple emperors, right? And so, you know, Santa could just remains to me this endlessly complicated and fascinating figure.

And vision is relatable. His sort of sense of stoke purity is admirable. And yet the reality of his life is sort of somewhere in between those two things. And so today, what I wanted to do was explore some of the best quotes from Sonica, what they are, how they've hit me, what we can learn from them, how they apply in Santa

and how they apply inside stoke philosophy. And so without further ado, let's get into five life changing quotes from Sonica. And as always, we must remember that the purpose of these quotes are not just picking them apart and analyzing them.

And so, I think that's not how many angels can fit on the head of a pin. This is not parsing text for some deeper, you know, hidden meaning or symbolism. This is as, as Santaica himself says, we look at the words so that they might translate into works. And again, that, that is the tricky thing about Santa
