PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: We don't have to hold supreme power to be supremely powerful. We don't have to ' wear the purple,' as they said of the emperor, to stand out. No, we just have to show up. Do a great job. Hold ourselves to high standards. Read: How To Be A King
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:  In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday takes viewers along on parts of the media tour, for his latest book, Right Thing, Right Now. Ryan speaks with CNBC and the Breakfast Club about how to find what the "good life" means for you, and the importance of keeping Stoicism ethical: "I was interested at first in what Stoicism could do for me — how it could make me more productive, more resilient, more in control of myself. But the virtue of justice, which is such as essential part of Stoicism, is more about what Stoicism is asking of you — how you hold yourself as a person, a citizen, a spouse — and we can't strip the ethical component out of Stoicism."

PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:  In a popular episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with Green Beret Nate Boyer on what serving multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan taught him about life, how he was able to become an NFL starter at a position he had never played before, and the importance of embracing our insecurities: "I think that most people who compete at a high level do have a decent amount of insecurity somewhere. And it's not that they struggle with it, but they embrace it and they recognize it — maybe they don't even talk about it. But it's what makes us get up a little bit earlier, start a little bit earlier, and just pour ourselves into it."

At this point, I'm sure you've heard of Eight Sleep. Their buzz-worthy sleep technology, called the Pod, can be added to your existing mattress like a fitted sheet to automatically cool down or warm up each side of your bed—and in turn, improve your sleep quality dramatically. Daily Stoic podcast guests such as Tim Ferriss and Dr. Peter Attia swear by it. As do I. In some exciting news, the Pod just got an upgrade. Eight Sleep has launched their newest generation of the Pod: Pod 4 Ultra. It cools, it heats, and now it elevates, automatically. It is also clinically proven to give you up to one hour more of quality sleep every night (which we could all use). And for those snore-heavy nights? The Pod can detect your snoring and automatically lift your head by a few degrees to improve airflow and stop your or your partner's snoring. So if you want to sleep more and sleep better to get your routine back on track, head to eightsleep.com/dailystoic/ and use code DAILYSTOIC to get $350 off Pod 4 Ultra. Currently ships to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.
