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 Sirete 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 podcasts and 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 Holiday. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic podcast. And as we are bearing down on the very exciting release of my next book, Lives of the Stoics, the Art of Living from Xeno to Marcus Aurelius.

I wanted to answer a question that I think you guys might have, which is, okay, I care about Marcus Aurelius, I care about Santa, maybe I care about Epic Titus, but I don't care about these other stoics.

What could I possibly learn from some unpronounceable name that I've never heard of? Well, obviously that's, I disagree with that or I wouldn't have written this book.

There's so much we can learn from the lives of these people, how they applied the philosophy in the real world.

And I wanted to give you some of the most exciting lessons from the books and ideas, call this seven things, the ancient stoics can teach us about having a great life.

And of course, if you want to pre-order the new book, you can do that. Just go to dailystoic.com slash lives, all sorts of awesome pre-order bonuses.

And look, even if you don't read the book, I think this episode is going to be great for you. Lots of good stuff in here. And of course, got to remember, as Santa said, the whole purpose of philosophy is to turn the words into works.

And so if you're not applying the ideas of stoicism in your life, what are you doing? And that's what we try to focus on here on dailystoic is trying to make these ideas as practical as humanly possible. And here we go.

Seven things, the stoics can teach us to have a better life. We'd like to think that the modern world is so different from the ancient, but is it?

Marcus Arelius' reign from 161 to 180 AD was defined by a pandemic which originated in the distant east and quickly overwhelmed Rome's institutions.

Civil unrest, intermitable wars in the provinces, personal health issues, cultural decadence, income inequality, and so much else. This was his daily existence.
