Is this what we're here for? To be the passions' slave? To be the plaything of emotions and impulses? It can't be!

What if it only took five minutes each morning to feel more in control of your life? In this conversation, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee shares the three daily questions he uses to stay grounded in alignment, contentment, and control.

How do you hold a country together when it's tearing itself apart? In this episode, Ryan sits down with Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin to talk about Abraham Lincoln's self-education, his emotional discipline, and how he managed anger, ego, and public pressure without losing himself.Doris Kearns Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize–winning presidential historian and bestselling author. Her latest #1 New York Times bestseller, An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s, is being adapted into a feature film, while her earlier works, Team of Rivals, The Bully Pulpit, and No Ordinary Time, have won some of the nation's highest literary honors and inspired leaders worldwide. She has served as a White House Fellow to President Lyndon Johnson, produced acclaimed docuseries for the HISTORY Channel, and earned countless awards for her contributions to history and leadership.Doris has a new book out called The Leadership Journey: How Four Kids Became Presidents in which she shares the different childhood experiences of Abraham Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Lyndon B. Johnson, and how they each found their way to the presidency.

People are the way they are. They will always be this way. We don't control that.

Why is it that so many of us try to impress ambition on our kids? Why are we trying to push them to become famous or powerful? Have we not seen the people who tend to get to these positions? Have we not seen how it works out for them?

Sum 41 defined an entire generation of skate punk before they played their last show in January 2025. Their final LP, Heaven :x: Hell, was a feat, showing off their signature styles. The Heaven side called back to their snotty pop-punk days, whereas Hell channeled their metallic side that ramped up with 2004's Chuck. In the time since, Whibley has released a potent memoir, Walking Disaster, and a clothing brand with the same name, debuting at Warped Tour Orlando last year. Stopping by the Artist Friendly studio, they get into a raw, reflective conversation where Deryck opens up about his near-death experience, burnout, and what's next.  Chapters: (0:00) Joel welcomes Sum 41's Deryck Whibley (2:00) The Importance of Health (4:48) Sum 41 categorized as a Pop/Punk Band (9:36) The Mutual Respect Between Good Charlotte and Sum 41 (18:04) Designing and Creating Your Own Life (18:30) Deryck Whibley Opens Up About His Hospital Visit in 2014 (23:00) Navigating Addiction (26:55) Deryck on Recovery (34:01) Deryck on Stoicism (40:51) Joel and Deryck Discuss Meditation (45:29) Moving on From Sum 41 (50:48) Walking Disaster Clothing brand Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly on ⁠Spotify⁠, ⁠Veeps⁠, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

What is a philosophy of life, and how do you find yours? In this opening episode of the Via Stoica Podcast's Philosophy of Life series, we explore what it means to live with intention, guided by Stoic philosophy and your own values.Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism. This series is about building something real, a foundation for how you actually want to live, not the life inherited from others.Most of us absorb our beliefs about success, purpose, and personal values from the world around us without ever choosing them. We follow routines that work on the surface but feel quietly off underneath. Stoic philosophy offers a different starting point: self-awareness, honest reflection, and the courage to ask whether the life you're living is actually yours.A philosophy of life isn't a rulebook. It's a quiet guide you return to, especially when things fall apart or when everything seems fine but something still feels missing.This is Episode 1 of the Philosophy of Life series. Listen to explore what it means to stop borrowing your life from others and start building one that fits who you actually are.Read the related article here: https://viastoica.com/how-to-find-your-philosophy-of-life/

We have a duty. Our nature—justice—demands something from us. It demands that we get up, get after it, and wear ourselves down doing it.

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Justin and Jon the Skeptic explore the shrinking "God of the Gaps" and the carnages of evolution! They challenge faith-based morality and the logical hurdles of deism in an eternal universe.Mark in FL argues biological codes require a creator as abiogenesis is undemonstrated. Hosts call this a "God of the Gaps" placeholder with no explanatory power. They compare his god to a unicorn. Is DNA really proof of divine intent?Alfie in TX asks if biblical morality has utility. Hosts identify these "high" values in Stoicism and Confucius. They argue against keeping the "rolls" with the "cyanide" of slavery.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, where we explore how Stoic philosophy guides us toward living well with ourselves and others. In this episode, we reflect on Epictetus' insight on friendship and values:“What a man sets his heart on, that he naturally loves... It remains for us to conclude then that good things alone are what they set their heart on. And if they set their heart on those, they love them too.”Epictetus, Discourses, Book 2, Chapter 22Epictetus reminds us that people naturally love what they believe to be good. When someone acts poorly, it is often because they misunderstand what truly benefits them. Stoicism teaches that real good lies not in wealth, status, or external success, but in virtue and good character. When we understand this, our priorities change, and so do the relationships and friendships we cultivate.This connects with the Stoic disciplines of Desire, Assent, and Action: we learn to value what truly matters, question mistaken judgments about success or happiness, and act in ways that support both our own character and the well-being of others. Practically, this means choosing friendships grounded in shared values, guiding others with patience when possible, and remembering that everyone acts according to what they think is best, even when they are mistaken.For more, check out this related article with the Stoic view on friendship:https://viastoica.com/the-stoic-view-of-friendship/And if you're looking for more Stoic sayings, visit viastoica.com, where you'll find hundreds of quotes with full references to the original texts:https://viastoica.com/stoic-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/marcus-aurelius-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/epictetus-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/seneca-quotesMake sure to subscribe for more Stoic Quotes episodes every Friday, as well as our Tuesday interviews and longer discussions.Support the showhttps://viastoica.comhttps://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coachinghttps://viastoica.com/benny-vonckenhttps://x.com/ViaStoicainfo@viastoica.comProduced by: badmic.com

You can support my work, and keep it independent and online, at https://stoicismpod.com/members In this episode, I respond to a short clip discussing incest as an example of emotivism in meta-ethics. Emotivism claims that when we say something is wrong, we are not stating a fact but expressing disapproval. The suggestion in the clip is that incest may ultimately be “wrong” only because we feel that it is wrong. I take that seriously. It is true that many people struggle to articulate why incest is objectively wrong beyond saying it feels disgusting. And philosophers should care about that. If something is wrong, we should be able to explain why in rational terms. Using Stoic role ethics, I outline a clear argument. In Stoicism, some roles are grounded in nature. These roles are not arbitrary. They come with built-in functions and ends. The sibling role is ordered toward familial care, trust, and cooperative development within the household. It is explicitly non-erotic because its function is to stabilize kinship bonds. The lover role, by contrast, is ordered toward erotic partnership and exclusivity. When a person attempts to merge these roles, they introduce incompatible aims into a single relationship. Stoic role ethics holds that voluntarily chosen roles must not contradict natural ones. If they do, one role must be abandoned. Because the sibling role is grounded in nature, it cannot be abandoned without corrupting its function. Adopting the lover role toward a sibling therefore represents a rational error. It makes both roles impossible to fulfil properly. This means the wrongness is not based on disgust. It is based on contradiction within the structure of human roles and the failure to live coherently within them. Stoicism does not reduce morality to feeling. It grounds moral judgment in reason, nature, and the proper fulfilment of roles within the human community. I also explain why this matters more broadly. If moral claims are reduced to preference or emotion, then they shift with culture, fashion, or mood. Stoicism resists that instability by anchoring ethics in a rational framework. That framework may be debated, refined, or defended, but it is not merely expressive. The point is simple: saying something “feels wrong” is not the same as explaining why it must be wrong. Philosophy should move us from reaction to reason. Listening on Spotify? Leave a comment! Share your thoughts.

My friend Nick LoGalbo is back on the pod to discuss the philosophy of Stoicism and how it can help you become a better coach! Coach LoGalbo has spent the last few years studying the Stoics and applying it to both his daily and professional life, and while we worked together at Snow Valley Basketball School, Coach turned me onto Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations", which has led us both to many different resources, including Ryan Holiday. We talk about the history of Stoicism, earlier influences and how you can apply Stoicism to your coaching. Enjoy!

The Stoics knew that wanting less increases gratitude, just as wanting more obliterates it. "Freedom isn't secured by filling up on your heart's desire but by removing your desire." - Epictetus

Day to day, it's only our individual actions that are up to us: How we treat people, how we run our businesses, what we think about.

It's not that you should never speak up. It's not that you should never speak truth to power. It's just that you should never do it while you're angry. Do it after you've calmed down. Do it after you've had time to think about it. Do it after you've slept on it.

What Does it Mean to be a Philosopher?Philosophy is often seen as academic or reserved for experts. But what if being a philosopher is something many of us already practice in everyday life?Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.In this episode, we explore philosophy as a way of living rather than a subject to master. Instead of focusing on theory or credentials, the conversation looks at curiosity, reflection, and how we orient ourselves in daily life.We reflect on why philosophy is often misunderstood as overthinking or abstraction, and how it actually shows up in ordinary moments, when we pause, question our reactions, and try to live with more awareness. You are invited to consider who you already see as wise in your own life, and what qualities make their guidance meaningful.This episode invites you to reconsider what it means to be a philosopher, and to recognize how much philosophy may already be present in your own life.Read the article here: https://viastoica.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-philosopher/Support the showviastoica.comYouTube: @viastoicaProduced by: Badmic.com

Send a textThis episode is a full lesson from one of the premium courses inside The Stoic Vault — my membership community for people who practise Stoicism, not just read about it.The lesson comes from the course Stoic Morning Routine: Start Calm and Strong. It covers the dichotomy of control — the single most useful idea in Stoic philosophy, and the one that changes everything when it actually lands.You'll take one real concern from your day and sort it into two columns: what's mine and what isn't. Outcomes, other people's reactions, delays — not mine. Preparation, breath, tone, when I choose to begin — mine. Then you'll pick one controllable action that matters today and state it clearly.This isn't theory. You'll feel the difference in the body when you stop carrying what was never yours.If this resonates, the full course and 9 others are inside The Stoic Vault, alongside guided meditations, weekly practices, live coaching, and a quiet community of 100+ members doing the work.Join at stoicvault.com

Most people don't read that many books, maybe a few a year at most. So if you're only going to read a couple books this year, the decision of which ones you choose becomes really important.In today's episode, Ryan shares a handful of books he's confident are worth your time. They've changed him, made him better, and he believes they'll make you better too in a lot of different areas of your life.

What do you do when your 3 day-old-baby just doesn’t wake up?

Love isn't just an emotion. It's not just a feeling that hits you out of nowhere. It's an action, something you can practice and something you can get better at. And while philosophy might not seem like a guide to a great love life, especially Stoicism, it actually has a lot to teach us.

Marcus Aurelius said that if you ever found anything better in life than courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom—the four virtues—it must be an extraordinary thing indeed. Which raises the question: is there anything better?

Life has a way of stripping all our reasons bare, of humbling our plans and assumptions. We must live, as Marcus Aurelius said, as if death hangs over us. Because it does.

It can feel like everything is falling to pieces. It can feel like you're lost. It can feel like there's no hope, no way forward, nothing to do. But that's just because you've gotten rattled.

Why do the same patterns keep showing up in completely different centuries? In this episode, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Stephen Greenblatt joins Ryan to discuss how power, fear, ego, and insecurity keep producing the same patterns. They talk about why dangerous leaders do not look dangerous at first, how great thinkers learned to survive unstable rulers, and why some of the most important ideas in history had to be hidden inside art, literature, and fiction just to stay alive. Stephen Greenblatt is Cogan University Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University. He has written extensively on English Renaissance literature and acts as general editor of The Norton Anthology of English Literature and The Norton Shakespeare. He is the author of fourteen books, including The Swerve, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, and Will in the World, a Pulitzer Prize finalist.

It would be wonderful if the world was naturally just, if people were automatically good, always doing the right thing. But of course, they don't.

What if I told you that your ability to practice Stoicism isn't just about willpower or mindset—but about the actual physiological state of your nervous system? In this episode, I dive deep into a profound quote from Epictetus that perfectly illustrates how our autonomic nervous system affects our capacity to respond wisely to life's challenges.Using the metaphor of water, light, and appearances, we'll explore:• Why some days Stoic practices feel effortless while other days feel impossible• How your nervous system state acts as a "filter" for all incoming reality• The real reason willpower alone isn't enough for lasting change• 3 practical daily practices to "steady your internal waters"• How nervous system regulation enhances (rather than replaces) Stoic philosophyKey Quote: "Such as is a dish of water, such is the soul. Such as is the ray of light, which falls on the water, such are the appearances." - Epictetus0:00 Introduction0:40 The Epictetus Quote1:17 Breaking Down the Metaphor3:32 The Coffee Example5:10 Connecting to the Nervous System8:21 How Reality Filters Through Your State9:36 Person A vs Person B13:22 What To Do About This15:39 The Problem with Traditional Stoic Practice19:06 Settling the Water20:26 Practical Steps You Can Take Today22:54 Closing & Resources

At the core of Stoicism is the idea that our emotions are our responsibility. No one can make us frustrated. No one can offend us either, Epictetus said, not without us being complicit in the taking of offense.

Tudo isso lhes ocorre por ignorância do bem e do mal. Mas eu, que observei que a natureza do bem é o belo, e que a do mal é o vergonhoso, e que a natureza do próprio pecador, que é meu parente, porque participa, não do mesmo sangue ou da mesma semente, mas das inteligência e de uma porção da divindade, não posso receber dano de nenhum deles, pois nenhum me cobrirá de vergonha; nem posso me aborrecer com meu parente nem odiá-lo. Pois, nascemos para colaborar, como os pés, as mãos, as pálpebras, os dentes, superiores e inferiores. Agir, pois, como adversários uns para com os outros é contrário à natureza. E é agir como adversário o fato de manifestar indignação e repulsa. Isso é tudo o que sou: um pouco de carne, um breve fôlego vital e o guia interior. Deixe os livros! Não te distraias mais; não está permitido a ti. Mas que, na idéia de que já és um moribundo, despreza a carne: sangue e pó, ossos, fino tecido de nervos, de pequenas veias e artérias. Olha também em que consiste o fôlego vital: vento, e nem sempre o mesmo, pois em todo momento se expira e de novo se aspira. Em terceiro lugar, pois, te resta o guia interior. Reflete assim: és velho; não o consintas por mais tempo que seja escravo, nem que siga ainda arrastando-se como marionete por instintos egoístas, nem que maldigas o destino presente ou tenhas receio do futuro. Para qualquer parte da natureza, é bom aquilo que colabora com a natureza do conjunto e o que é capaz de preservá-la. E conservam o mundo tanto as transformações dos elementos simples como as dos compostos. Sejam suficientes para ti essas reflexões, se são princípios básicos. Afasta tua sede de livros, para não morrer amargurado, mas verdadeiramente resignado e grato de coração aos deuses. Não consumas a parte da vida que te resta fazendo conjecturas sobre outras pessoas, a não ser que teu objetivo aponte para o bem comum; porque certamente te privas de outra tarefa. Ao querer saber, ao imaginar o que faz fulano e por que, e o que pensa e o que trama e tantas coisas semelhantes que provocam teu raciocínio, tu te afastas da observação do teu guia interior. Convém, consequentemente, que, no encadear das tuas ideias, evites admitir o que é fruto do azar e supérfluo, mas muito mais o inútil e pernicioso. Deves também acostumar-te a ter unicamente aquelas ideias sobre as quais, se te perguntassem de súbito “em que pensas agora?”, com franqueza pudesses responder no mesmo instante “nisso e naquilo”, de maneira que no mesmo instante se manifestasse que tudo em ti é simples, benévolo e próprio de um ser isento de toda cobiça, inveja, receio ou qualquer outra paixão, da qual pudesses envergonhar-te ao reconhecer que a possui em teu pensamento. Porque o homem com essas características, que já não demora em situar-se entre os melhores, converte-se em sacerdote e servo dos deuses, posto ao serviço também da divindade que habita seu interior; tudo que o imuniza contra os prazeres, o faz invulnerável a toda dor, intocável a todo excesso, insensível a toda maldade, atleta da mais excelsa luta, luta que se entrava para não ser abatido por nenhuma paixão, impregnado a fundo de justiça, apegado, com toda a sua alma, aos acontecimentos e a tudo o que lhe tenha acontecido. E, raramente, a não ser por uma grande necessidade e tendo em vista o bem comum, cogita o que a outra pessoa diz, faz ou pensa. Colocará unicamente em prática aquelas coisas que lhe correspondem, e pensa sem cessar no que lhe pertence, o que foi alinhado ao conjunto. Enquanto, por um lado, cumpre o seu dever, por outro, está convencido de que é bom. Porque o destino designado a cada um está envolvido no conjunto e ao mesmo tempo o envolve. Tem também presente que todos os seres racionais têm parentesco e que preocupar-se com todos os homens está de acordo com a natureza humana Mas não deves considerar a opinião de todos, mas somente a opinião daqueles que vivem conforme a natureza. E, em relação aos que não vivem assim, prossegue recordando até o fim como são em casa e fora dela, pela noite e durante o dia, e com que classe de gente convivem. Consequentemente, não considera o elogio de tais homens que nem consigo mesmos estão satisfeitos.Na convicção de que pode sair da vida a qualquer momento, faça, fale e pense todas e cada uma das coisas em consonância com essa ideia. Pois distanciar-se dos homens, se existem deuses, em absoluto é temível, porque estes não poderiam atirar-te ao mar. Mas, se em verdade não existem, ou não lhes importam os assuntos humanos, para que viver em um mundo vazio de deuses ou vazio de providência? Mas sim, existem, e lhes importam as coisas humanas, e criaram todos os meios a seu alcance para que o homem não sucumba aos verdadeiros males. E se restar algum mal, também haveriam previsto, a fim de que contasse o homem com todos os meios para evitar cair nele. Mas o que não torna pior um homem, como isso poderia fazer pior a sua vida? Nem por ignorância nem conscientemente, mas por ser incapaz de prevenir ou corrigir esses defeitos, a natureza do conjunto o teria consentido. E, tampouco, por incapacidade ou inabilidade teria cometido um erro de tais dimensões como acontece aos bons e aos maus indistintamente, bens e males em partes iguais. Entretanto, morte e vida, glória e infâmia, dor e prazer, riqueza e penúria, tudo isso acontecem indistintamente ao homem bom e ao mal, pois não é nem belo nem feio, porque, efetivamente, não são bons nem maus.*APOIE O NARUHODO!O Altay e eu temos duas mensagens pra você.A primeira é: muito, muito obrigado pela sua audiência.

I am a public philosopher, it is my only job. I am enabled to do this job, in large part, thanks to support from my listeners and readers. You can support my work, keep it independent and online, at https://stoicismpod.com/members Looking for more Stoic content? Consider my 3x/week newsletter "Stoic Brekkie": https://stoicbrekkie.com In this episode, I take up a question that seems settled, orthodox, and uncontroversial: can indifferents be preferred or dispreferred? Most Stoics would say yes and move on. But there is a serious ancient challenge to that position, and understanding it matters more than most people realize. I begin with the standard Stoic account, drawing on Zeno as recorded by Stobaeus and Cicero. Virtue alone is good, vice alone is bad, and everything else is indifferent. Still, some indifferents are naturally preferred or rejected because they align with our rational nature. Health, social cooperation, and material sufficiency are not goods, but they are “according to nature.” I then introduce the provocateur: Ariston of Chios. Ariston rejects the very idea of preferred and dispreferred indifferents. In his view, calling something a preferred indifferent is just calling it a good under another name. For Ariston, everything between virtue and vice is radically neutral, and any preference only arises situationally, never because the thing itself has standing within nature. I explain why this disagreement is not merely semantic. Ariston's position is inseparable from his rejection of Stoic physics and logic. Once those are removed, there is no rational structure of nature to ground stable preferences. Ethics collapses into a stark minimalism where virtue alone matters and everything else is interchangeable depending on circumstance. This is why later Stoics saw Ariston as a dead end rather than a reformer. Without physics and logic, Stoic ethics loses its ability to guide action across time, roles, and recurring human situations. The philosophy becomes thinner, not sharper. Finally, I connect this ancient dispute to a modern problem. Contemporary Stoicism often tries to keep the ethics while quietly discarding the physics and logic as unnecessary or outdated. That move repeats Ariston's mistake. Stoicism can evolve, but it cannot survive if its foundations are simply removed without replacement. You cannot pull the columns out from under the Stoa and expect the roof to hold. If we want Stoicism to remain coherent, actionable, and philosophically serious, we need to understand why preferred indifferents exist and what architectural commitments make them possible in the first place.

The most fearless philosopher in the ancient world didn't rule an empire or write books. He lived on the street and begged for food. And yet, he was bold enough to challenge Alexander the Great to his face. In today's episode, we're talking about Diogenes, the philosopher who rejected status, comfort, and approval and may have understood freedom better than anyone who came after him.

You're tough. You're firm. You don't get bothered by things. You keep yourself under control. Good. But you're missing something else just as important and perhaps more impressive.

If your New Year motivation didn't make it to February, this episode is for you. Ryan and his business partner and longtime friend, Brent Underwood, talk about how waiting for permission, perfect conditions, or external validation quietly turns into procrastination, even for high performers. They discuss why open-ended ambitions are harder than deadlines, how success can actually make starting new things scarier, and the trap of telling yourself, “I'll get to it later.”Let's not write the year off just yet. The Daily Stoic New Year New You challenge is opening back up for a limited time. Learn more and sign up today at dailystoic.com/challenge.

From corruption to tyranny, the Stoics refused to sit on the sidelines. They tried to change things.

Few writers understand American culture like Chuck Klosterman, which is why he joins Ryan ahead of the Super Bowl to talk about how football reshaped American culture.In this episode, Chuck and Ryan discuss what football really reveals about American culture, power, and the stories we tell ourselves about expertise and control. Chuck shares his observations, strange historical parallels, and personal stories that connect sports to technology, identity, and how monocultures form and eventually fade.

It's always been a dilemma: Why should I be honest when no one else seems to be? Why should I play by the rules when others are so visibly breaking them? Why should I be respectful or kind or fair when nobody else is?
