When we think of wealth, we think of million dollar mansions, luxury cars, or Instagramable vacations. But the Stoics had a slightly different definition. Seneca said, "poverty isn't having too little. It's wanting more."
If you're looking to change your daily practices and mindset towards money and wealth, The Wealthy Stoic: A Daily Stoic Guide To Being Rich, Free, and Happy is now available to take at your own pace. Here, you have access to recorded Deep Dives with Cal Newport, Alli Webb, and Morgan Housel, which were featured in our live version of the course. You can also share your experience with other Stoics from around the globe on our new community platform. Head over to the Daily Stoic Store to sign up today!
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube Channel, Ryan Holiday speaks with some of the great thinkers of the modern world, such as Steven Pressfield, Joe Rogan, and Robert Greene on how they used Stoicism as a tool to help them in their pursuit of perseverance, wisdom, and self-discipline:
"Discipline is not the sheer force of will that makes you do something. Discipline is the temperament, or the strategies, or the systems that one comes up with to get to the place that they want to be."

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
| | " "You possess an inner force that seeks to guide you toward your Life's Task - what you are meant to accomplish in the time that you have to live. The first move towards mastery is always inward - learning who you really are and reconnecting with that innate force. Knowing it with clarity, you will find your way to the proper career path and everything else will fall into place. It is never too late to start this process." — Mastery by Robert Greene |
You can catch Ryan and Robert at two live events this fall: Strategy And Philosophy For Turbulent Times. Together the best-selling author's videos have received millions of views touching on a wide-range of topics–from apprenticeships to cutting-edge technologies, to productivity habits, to happiness.
Listen to them discuss big ideas and take your questions from the stage in two LIVE conversations: Los Angeles on September 19, and Seattle on September 21. There are a limited number of VIP meet-and-greet tickets available, so grab yours before they sell out!
PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
"It's easy to be cynical about ourselves. We know, more than anyone, how long we've been struggling with things. We know how ingrained our bad habits are, how hard it's going to be to get over them. But we can't give up. We can't quit on ourselves. If we don't believe we are capable of change, who will? If we don't believe we are capable of change then we definitely are not."
-We're Broken…But Not Fixed (Listen)
PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with retired Navy Lieutenant Commander David Carey about his incredible experiences serving in Vietnam as a fighter pilot and being shot down and captured by North Vietnamese forces, how 2,022 days in captivity led to him embracing the teachings of Epictetus, and how to understand what we control in our lives:
"Now, what happens to us in our lives may well be beyond our control— and often are, as much as we'd like to control it. We can't. But how we deal with it, the ways we choose to deal with these things are always within our control."
