Ryan: It’s been a crazy, awful-slash-wonderful year. Mark: I’m curious like what’s been going on with you for the last year? You’ve been hunkered down writing obviously – we talked just a tad bit – but what’s going on with your life? Mark: So cool, but let’s just catch up for a bit. And then an interesting section called “the heroic.” I guess that’s going beyond courage. You break it down into three major categories – fear, because you could almost claim that fear is the absence of courage or vice versa – and then you get into actually what is courage and the acts of courage. And so it’s just so cool to see all the different ways that you can kind of slice up courage and look at it through different lenses – I’m excited. Mark: Being a Navy SEAL and having written about it. Of course, I would expect nothing less from you, but courage is something near and dear to my heart as you’re aware.

And so it’s really neat to see you kind of finally come around to like, “hey, why don’t we do a series that includes all these?”Īnd so courage is the first one and your book “Courage Is Calling” which I was fortunate enough to get an advanced copy of – it’s great. We’re gonna talk about your book that’s coming out which is really cool – those of us who have studied stoicism and know about your work, know that there’s four kinds of cardinal virtues or higher virtues that the stoics have really kind of harped on.Ĭourage, wisdom, justice and temperance. I know that’s in collaboration, but it’s great to get those emails every day, too. You can wake up and get a little stoicism hit. He’s also got a great work called “the daily stoic,” for every day. If you haven’t read some of his perennials – “ Obstacle Is the Way,” “ Ego Is the Enemy” and “ Stillness Is the Key” – please put them on your list.

He’s become a legend for bringing stoic philosophy to our modern chaotic world. Today I’m super stoked to have a good friend and one of my favorite authors, Ryan Holiday.
