About the Show

The Story

Each day, author and speaker Ryan Holiday draws a lesson about life from the great Stoic thinkers, Marcus Aurelius and Seneca the Younger, and keeps it short enough to fit a commute. Episodes average about 23 minutes, though they range from 4 to 57, and new ones arrive most days. With more than 1,000 published and roughly 378 hours in the feed, the show suits anyone who wants Stoicism as a daily habit rather than a one-off read.

Beyond the daily lessons, there are Q+As with listeners and interviews with notable figures from sports, academia and politics, recent episodes feature Chris Guillebeau, Rainn Wilson and Thomas Ricks. It's filed under Education, Business, Society and Culture, which hints at how wide it casts. You'll find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
