PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with Greg Harden about how Stoicism influenced his new book Stay Sane in an Insane World: How to Control the Controllables and Thrive, the difference between confidence and ego, and the importance of rehearsing mental fitness:
"At each step of the way, you have to kind of step back and say, 'Am I really connecting to what's going on around me? Or am I giving into the version that people are feeding my desires, that my desires are coloring things.' And that ability to step back is so difficult when you're on that drug of attention."

PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
"But there will come a time when all the reasons, all the legitimate concerns, the perceived significance of these moments will seem baffling to you. You will struggle to understand why you thought any of it mattered–you will wish instead that you let more things go, that you let this very thing go, that you weren't so hard on them or yourself, that you weren't so impatient, that you didn't take things so personally."
-In The End It Doesn't Even Matter (Listen)
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
A new video on the Daily Stoic YouTube Channel shares powerful quotes from the great Stoic philosophers and their famous texts. Whether you're looking for a little extra motivation to get after the task at hand, or for timeless Stoic wisdom, consider these quotes, such as this one from Epictetus:
"When a dog is tied to a cart, if it wants to follow, it is pulled and follows, making its spontaneous act coincide with necessity. But if the dog does not follow, it will be compelled in any case. So it is with men too: even if they don't want to, they will be compelled to follow what is destined."

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
| | " "As for desire, suspend it completely for now. Because if you desire something outside your control, you are bound to be disappointed; and even things we do control, which under other circumstances would be deserving of our desire, are not yet within our power to attain. Restrict yourself to choice and refusal; and exercise them carefully, with discipline and detachment." |
