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 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.

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.
In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares insights from a decade of studying Stoic wisdom, including taking advantage of obstacles and not being distracted by others:
"I think about this as a writer—I'm in the Ryan Holiday industry. 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."
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with writer Brigid Delaney on comparing ancient Rome with modern society, what she took away from Meditations, and why Stoics need empathy:
"People feel like they don't have anyone close to them and they don't have any interactions that have any warmth in them. 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?'"
