| Before we get into the Saturday Review … earlier this week we announced that the expanded 10th anniversary edition of The Obstacle Is the Way, the book that inspired a global resurgence in Stoicism, is officially available for preorder. It's full of brand new stories, like how Taylor Swift used Stoic practices to beat the music industry, and fresh lessons Ryan has gained in the past 10 years writing, studying, and discussing this philosophy. We have a limited amount of signed, numbered first-edition copies exclusively available at the Daily Stoic Store. These first-editions sold out when we recently did them for Right Thing, Right Now and Daily Dad, so make sure to get yours while you still can. Head here to grab your copy today!  PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: What we do after the thing happens to us is what matters. We get the opportunity to decide the end of that story. "When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstance, revert at once to yourself, and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help," Marcus Aurelius writes in Meditations. "You'll have a better grasp of harmony if you keep going back to it." Read: Can You Pull Off This Move?
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:  In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares a clip filmed during his recent Stoic Life tour (later this fall, he'll be in Europe and Canada—grab tickets here) where he discusses the unbearable weight of ego, along the importance of staying vigilant in fighting it: "The confidence to know what we don't know, what we need to do better, where we have weaknesses—this is what we're trying to cultivate here. But ego is this thing that creeps in, it finds a way. It's not this thing that you get rid of once, but a thing that you have to constantly be on guard against." Subscribe to Daily Stoic YouTube
PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola on his latest film Megalopolis, how Stoicism helped him through the grieving process, and devaluing material things: "If you had said to me, "What do you want, $1,000 or a thousand friends?", I would say I want the friends—I don't value money. There's too many times in history where people had buckets of money and couldn't buy a loaf of bread, yet there was a friend who said I'll give you half of my bread."
