Daily Stoic | Wondery
About this episode

They can love you or hate you. But really, the only thing that matters is who you are to yourself. What matters is whether you are living up to your standards, whether you’re following those virtues of courage and discipline and justice and wisdom.

Ask DS:

  • What did the Stoics say about balancing between personal and community trials?


  • What is Ryan’s Stoic advice for a new entrepreneur?


  • Why has philosophy from ancient Athens and Rome stuck and not philosophy from the Germanic tribes?
