"You are gonna have failure in life, people are gonna hurt you, but that is life, that's what it is". That line stayed with me forever.

Thanks, Ryan I will dive into Robert’s books…on Audible. I am 71, and was diagnosed a few years ago with Parkinson’s disease. It has robbed me of my ability to read printed material, or follow text on screen, but my ears soak it up. I recently listened to your “Lives of the Stoics” and enjoyed it immensely. I abhor self-pity or excuse-making. I was always attracted to Stoicism since I first encountered it 50+ years ago, but now it seems that Stoicism has found me, and I am grateful. I admire your generation for reviving and energizing Stoic thought and ideals, it inspires me. In addition to my own infirmities, I am my elderly, frail wife’s caregiver, and Stoicism gives me the means to get through the day with calm and peace in my soul. Bad breaks? Why me? Nah. Take it as it comes, play it as it lays, and live to the fullest extent possible.

I want to reflect on the importance of having mentors in life, I love that quote that says: "if you are sitting in a room where you are the smartest person, then you are in the wrong room". And I think that complements perfectly with what Epictetus said: "if you want to improve, be content to be thought stupid or foolish". Ryan surely had improved over time in his knowledge and understanding of the stoic philosophy, and I think Robert Greene has been a great influence in his work, it inspires me to look at everyone around me thinking that each person can teach something new to me. It surely is a humbling way to see things and keeps your ego in check.

Use great ideas to build yourself into a man of strength and character, a man of your word, skilful and with a purpose that serves the ones around you as well. If you enjoy ideas about masculinity and mastery, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel. Challenge yourself with some concepts about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well. Looking forward to your points of view. All the best to you!

I have a fear of losing out on something genuine by becoming an observer, to experience something first hand, completely unprepared and taking it head on and seeing where it takes me and feel the things I'm supposed to be feeling. I guess I'm more afraid of not feeling anything at all. I feel as though we take our feelings for granted and that to me is scary to lose since it's, in my mind the only genuine reality i can identify.

How can we anticipate EVERYTHING? I'm smart enough to anticipate everything going wrong that I know of, but I'm not smart enough to be able to anticipate what I don't know? I do practice negative thinking as much as I can, and it has stood me in good stead on installs, I've had more than one client say "you think of everything" but I know there is the possibility of something I haven't even thought of going wrong . . .

Hi Ryan! I’ve been so excited to become a new subscriber to your channel. You’re doing such a wonderful job helping so many of us on our journey to understanding Stoicism, but I just wanted to share a thought..You’re content deserves better audio quality! It’s really difficult to enjoy your message while wearing headphones bc your voice peaks and distorts, that includes background noise as well. Also, your video audio levels don’t match the KZfaq ads so it’s always a rude surprise whenever those kick in randomly. I realize this constructive criticism probably doesn’t bother the majority of people but it truly does make a difference in the experience. I recommend using a lavalier microphone on yourself and checking gain levels. Either way, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and feel free to reach out incase I can help you with some audio insight. Much love my friend👍

I have to say I agree with these points except for anticipating everything. My understanding of this statement is that you won't be in the present moment ever and you simply cannot anticipate everything. This could drive someone to paranoia. A question of depth and detail needs to be explained in this case, as otherwise I don't see how this is Stoic; especially considering the fact that Stoics say they cannot control everything.

One of the best decisions I've done was to start walking on the stoic path, and part of that, because of this channel and Ryan's ability and discipline to communicate it. My sincere thanks! One question to Ryan. Would you feel comfortable bringing your family to a video? In a sense of understanding how the stoic philosophy influences the relationship between the family, how is the daily routine, etc.

When Seneca was discussed, it made sense to me, we can anticipate and acknowledge that we cannot control what will happen, but more so, accept it as fact, it is life. I was then confused when Alfred Hitchcocks ability to control everything he anticipated was discussed as it seemed to conflict with the opinion of Senecas statement. Could someone please explain the key difference between the two points that Robert made as I cant seem to understand how both views on anticipation can be seen together.

Pain is the price we pay for being alive. Dead cells-our hair, our fingernails-can’t feel pain; they cannot feel anything. When we understand that, our question will change from, “Why do we have to feel pain?” to “What do we do with our pain so that it becomes meaningful and not just pointless empty suffering?

@ooloncaluphid Жыл бұрын

I think that awareness of death is another one of those things that creates a division of two kinds of people in the world. With some people, it awakens an imperative to do, it galvanizes them into action. In other people, like me, it offers absolutely no signal or clarification whatsoever as to what one is to do with one's remaining time, it merely throws into high relief what an unsatisfactory person one is.

I think Greene’s work is two sides of the same coin, not outshining the master can be seen as having respect for elders and for authority, understanding ego and being respectful about them. He uses that sort of language to give you a sense of combat, to make it seem more in your face and make you more aware of what you need to do and why
