Your Saturday Stoic Review — Week of October 14 - October 20

In case you missed it … earlier this week we announced our 2024 session of Stoicism 101! For one week each year people around the globe commit to absorbing the wisdom of the Stoics and living as those philosophers did in ancient times. The event is called Stoic Week and we'll be kicking it off OCTOBER 28th by relaunching one of our most popular courses, Stoicism 101: Ancient Philosophy For Your Actual Life. The course will teach you everything you need to know to get started with Stoicism, and to live like a Stoic alongside a cohort of other Daily Stoic philosophers. Ryan LIVE chatting with previous Stoicism 101 cohort PLUS, we've got two LIVE Q&As with Ryan Holiday—who will be your personal teacher during the course—so you can get all your Stoicism-related questions answered. Whether you're new to Stoicism or you've been studying it for years, learning—as Marcus Aurelius reminds us—is always a good thing. This LIVE COURSE starts Monday, OCTOBER 28th! Head to dailystoic.com/101 to join the 2024 session of Stoicism 101 today! PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: To be a Stoic is to be a lifelong student. You don't read the Stoics, you study them. Stoicism is actively following in the footsteps of Hadrian and Marcus and Cato and Thrasea. It's to know that wisdom is an endless pursuit, to believe one never graduates, one never arrives at some final destination of education.

What other people are doing, the success they're having, the things they're saying about me, the trends of the moment, none of this pertains to me. None of it should change what I need to wake up and do today."

And part of being a Stoic is not just to not be reactive, but also to be aware if someone's angry at you or in a bad mood [and to ask] 'what's behind that?'"

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING: " The Stoic Sage, or wise man, needs nothing but uses everything well; the fool believes himself to "need" countless things, but he uses them all badly. — How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius by Donald Robertson ​SOCIAL MEDIA POST OF THE WEEK: Follow us on social ​​​​​ ​ ​Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 906 Main Street #274, Bastrop, Texas 78602 ​info@dailystoic.com is not a monitored email
