0:00.0	Today's guest is Ryan Holiday, best-selling author and the man most responsible for introducing
0:05.4	the modern world to Stoic Philosophy, arguably the most useful philosophy for anyone trying
0:11.5	to gain control of their mind.
0:13.6	If you want to win at the game of life, the most important thing you can realize is that
0:17.4	the quality of your life won't be determined by what happens to you. It will be
0:21.0	determined by how you respond what happens to you. And that's what Stoic philosophy is all about.

1:13.8	One being Andrew Tate, where many people considered the pinnacle of modern masculinity, the other being Marcus Aurelius, known as the last of the
1:20.4	five great emperors of Rome. Who should people be looking up to? And most important, why?
1:26.2	I think it's hard to be a man in the world these days
1:30.2	where as we have corrected, you know, mistakes of the past, some of the things that sort of would
