| Before we get into the Saturday Review … we still have a limited amount of signed, numbered first-edition copies of the expanded 10th anniversary edition of The Obstacle Is the Way 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: So when others impede or disrupt your efforts today, remember—they're not causing problems; they're offering you opportunities. They are not an impediment, they are the way. Making good on these opportunities and treating people well? It is your "proper occupation." Read: This is the Most Common Obstacle
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:  In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares a Stoic lesson on achieving true fulfillment not by pursuing external goods, but in living virtuously: "You don't fill the void by fleeing or by externals, according to the Stoics. We satisfy it simply by living our life as nature demands. By being good, by being true to ourselves, by focusing, by not wasting a second wishing anything was otherwise or caring what other people think of us. We just live as well as we can."

PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with creator Timm Chiusano on the benefits of self-reflection, what he learned from the corporate world, and embracing Stoicism in his content: "This is why I love Stoicism, because there's that element if you're not here in the moment, then you're just nowhere, and that allowed me to kind of grab clips randomly but still be present and thoughtful in that moment about angles and storytelling to a certain extent without driving what I was doing."
