Stoicism has been helping people manage their stress and anxiety for thousands of years and today, itâs more relevant than ever.
@ryanholiday is the New York Times Bestselling author of multiple books on Stoicism. He believes that Stoicism is the framework that can help you be a normal person in an increasingly crazy world.
Todayâs episode dives into the life-altering benefits of following a philosophy that encourages you to focus on what you can control, and fuck the rest.

I just heard about the âbed rottingâ trend on social media and I think I need a minute.
Because if the kids think staying in bed all day eating pizza and doom scrolling is a form of rejuvenation then Iâm calling bullshit on self-care.
Todayâs episode is a fun one. Drew and I have a long list of common self-improvement practices and Iâm scoring them as overrated or underrated or, âit depends.â

If the story of humanity is about loss, privation, suffering, and resilience, why are kids having nervous breakdowns about bad grades?

Social media messes with our expectations because it convinces us that we should be doing everything, everywhere, all at once.
But the reality is that we should focus on doing one or two things extremely well, in one place, consistently over a long period of time.
Today on the pod, I talk to Noah Kagan, multi-millionaire and multi-business owner, about the type of consistency and habits that lead to wealth.
Noah created his own wealth out of self-belief, learning from failing and being careful with what he gives a fuck about. Noahâs story is compelling as he shares how he found success over decades, by never ceasing to try.
If youâre looking for some raw talk to get you motivated to go out and do cool shit, this is the episode to sink your energy into. Enjoy.

What if the answer isnât to do more? What if the answer is to want less?
Iâve always believed that subtracting from your life can produce better results than trying to add something. Generally, quitting a bad habit, or a bad mindset, or anything distracting, will have a bigger impact on your life than learning more.
This episode covers a few things I think we should stop doing to live a better life. Enjoy.

Successful people talk a lot about what made them successful. But they're rarely asked about all the things that went wrong.
What about all of the things that failed? Or all the times they got fired? Embarrassed themselves? Spent time in jobs that were just plain weird or awful?
No one asks this stuff. Until now of course.
In this episode, I talk to my friend Derek Sivers about the weird and awful jobs that eventually led him to become a millionaire. From circus ringleader to founder of one the most successful music start-ups of our time, this guy has a story to tell.
Derek Sivers is the author of four books, founder of CD Baby which he sold for $22 million (then gave most of it away), and just an all-around badass.

Could it be that todayâs increased awareness about emotions, and our obsession with mental health issues, are actually causing more mental health issues? More people are doing therapy, but are those people potentially doing it wrong?
Therapist, counselor, and author Lori Gottlieb says that a lot of our cultureâs approach to mental health is wrong.
In todayâs podcast, we discuss what it takes to do therapy effectively. We discuss the prevalence of mental health content online and why that may be a bad thing. We talk about how peopleâs misunderstandings of vulnerability and boundaries can backfire. And we get into the effect social media might be having on this.

Thereâs travel.High-quality, intentional travel is one of the most transformational experiences a person can have. Without a doubt, my 10 years living abroad made me more confident, more self-assured, and ultimately more educated about the world and the people in it. It also informed a lot of the philosophy that I've written about over the past 10 yearsâthe counterintuitive approach that so many people have come to love. This episode dives into the key takeaways I got from my years of traveling. I canât be sure, but I think they might inspire you as much as they have me. Enjoy.

People are becoming increasingly lonely and are unable to relate to one another. Yet we have more access to more people than ever before. What's going on? Is it technology? Is social media replacing our sense of community with the empty calories of the sweet, sweet For You feed? Or maybe itâs the deterioration of the nuclear family â fewer kids are being born and being raised by fewer parents. Or is it the lack of religion in public life? Or the geographic exodus from small towns and communities towards big anonymous cities? Or the economic inequality and complete loss of work/life balance? These are questions that I, and renowned journalist and author David Brooks, unpack together as we nose dive into the social and emotional disconnect of millions of people.Need lessons on how to talk to the barista making your coffee? Looking to build a better relationship with Gary from across the fence? This episode wonât make you a master of communication overnight, but itâs a fascinating conversation packed with useful insight from beginning to end.Listen to it.

Is your mind blown that itâs 2024 already?!?

In this episode, weâre going to look at how our perception of time shapes our self-image, how itâs often advantageous to choose to be bad at something, why people-pleasing doesnât actually please people, and a whole lot more.
