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.

Hey, I'm Cassie Depegel, the host of Wanderies against the odds. In our next season, Amelia Earhart wants to make history by flying across the Atlantic alone, but brutal weather and malfunctioning equipment could leave her lost its sea.

Listen to against the odds on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, it's Ryan Holiday. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoke Podcast. It's been a surreal couple of weeks, obviously, with the new book.

You usually travel around and go to all these events and see you guys up close and sign books and meet retailers and you do media and all these local cities.

Obviously, that's out the window with the pandemic. And one of the things that got canceled, at least in person, was a talk I was going to do at the Commonwealth Club in California in San Francisco.

I got to do an event there with Chase Jarvis for conspiracy a few years ago, but we were going to do an interview with Kevin Rose, who's a friend of mine and a fan of the Stokes and just a great overall dude, fellow traveler on the Stoicism stuff on some Eastern philosophy, parent to young kids.

Like me and then also just one of the great technology investors, entrepreneurs of our time. So I was looking forward to get to seeing him in person and doing doing a sort of a fireside chat.

That didn't happen, but he was nice enough to agree to do an online version of it. Commonwealth Club has been around since the 1900s. I'm reading this book about FDR right now.

And it's like he was swinging through and did a talk at the Commonwealth Club when he was running for president. So it's this really old timey, awesome private club, but they do really cool events.

So Kevin was nice enough to do it remotely. So he and I talked for about an hour. He asked me questions or some reader questions as well. It was such an awesome chat. I wanted to share it with you guys for today's episode.

Since he does an intro on there, I won't belabor it. We'll just get right into it. And of course you can check out lies of the still eggs anywhere books are sold and hearing great things from everyone. I appreciate it. I hope you're staying safe. I'm not doing my events. I hope you are not going to weddings and doing other crazy stuff. We're all being smart and safe. And you know, we'll get through this.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's virtual program at the Commonwealth Club of California. My name is Kevin Rose and I'll be moderating today's program. The Commonwealth Club would like to thank their members, donors and supporters for making this and all their other programs possible. They are grateful for your support and hope others will follow the example to support the club during these uncertain times.

Today I am joined by Ryan Holiday, author of the new book Lives of the Stoic. Ryan has been credited by the New York Times for increasing the popularity of stosism by applying it to the modern age. His writings and conversations highlight the necessity of a balanced life and limiting the noise to remain focused on achieving a personalized version of success.

We will be discussing the virtues of stosism. It's core values and a lot more in the next hour. And I want you to get your questions answered as well. So if you're watching this along with us live, please put your questions into the text chat on YouTube or on the comments section on Facebook and we'll be getting them later into the program.

But first, I want to thank the most important person here that our guest today, Ryan, thanks for joining us.
