My guest today is Ryan Holiday. He’s one of the world's foremost writers on ancient philosophy and its place in everyday life. His books The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, The Daily Stoic, and Stillness Is the Key have sold millions of copies and been translated into over 30 languages. He’s now written a new book called Courage is Calling: Fortune Favors The Brave. In this episode we discuss how fear is actually a good thing, why people struggle to have courage and how to overcome that, how thinking about our own mortality can help us rather than hurt us, the biggest lessons we can learn from stoicism when it comes to finding peace, wealth, developing discipline, and so much more!
