You Have To Know Where You’re Going | No...

Daily Stoic | Wondery
About this episode

We know we want to go somewhere. We want to do something. We want to be successful. We want to win. We know we want to start something–a company, a creative project, a movement.

Or perhaps we want justice, we want someone to make things right, we want to change and grow. We want to prove people wrong about us. We want to be happy.

But what exactly? How? What does that success actually look like? What is this happiness we speak of? Well there, we have a lot less clarity.

Law 29 of The 48 Laws of Power is: Plan All The Way To The End.

---

And with today's Daily Stoic reading, Ryan shares why it can be life-changing for you to eradicate blame from your mindset.

🗣 You can catch Robert Greene and Ryan Holiday at two live events this fall: Strategy And Philosophy For Turbulent Times. Together the best-selling author’s videos have received millions of views touching on a wide-range of topics–from apprenticeships to cutting-edge technologies, to productivity habits, to happiness.

Listen to them discuss big ideas and take your questions from the stage in two LIVE conversations in Los Angeles on September 18, and Seattle on September 21. There are a limited number of VIP meet-and-greet tickets available, so grab yours before they sell out!
