Becoming a great leader doesn't just happen by chance. No, great leaders all chose to be great through study, dedication, and practice.
This week we announced the relaunch of the Daily Stoic Leadership Challenge: Ancient Wisdom For Modern Leaders. Rooted in the time-tested wisdom of the Stoics, this updated challenge mirrors the education that produced historically great leaders like George Washington and Marcus Aurelius.
This LIVE 9-week course provides the framework for you to develop and practice the critical themes of leadership. You will also get direct access to Ryan Holiday and notable leadership experts in FIVE Live Deep Dive Sessions where you can get your questions answered.
We really hope you join us for this leadership masterclass. Registration is now open, and the course begins on September 25. Head over to dailystoic.com/lead today to enroll!
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube Channel, Ryan Holiday shares Stoic lessons on mastering the art of life from his mentor and fellow best-selling author Robert Greene. A master of understanding human nature and power dynamics, Robert discusses some of his most powerful thinking on Stoicism, getting better every day, and our need for certainty:
"The need for certainty is the greatest weakness that humans have. It's almost like a disease, and it's preventing you from seeing the true reality of the phenomenon around you — and it's a deadly factor in any kind of creative venture."

PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with Internet entrepreneur Kevin Rose about the pros and cons of his entrepreneurial drive, the overlap between Zen Buddhism and Stoicism, and how being vulnerable makes you a better leader:
"That's actually the easiest thing to do, to put up a wall — to be like 'I got this, I'm a man, I can handle this.' The hardest thing is to be vulnerable. If you really want to do the hardest thing, and be the strongest man you can, it's to be the most vulnerable version of yourself."

PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
Each of us must cultivate space and time for reflection. We must be able to detach from a moment and see ourselves and it from a distance. We need stillness. We need discipline. We need less ego. We need to listen. Only then can we act. Only then are we fit to lead.
