considered one of the leading 628 00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:55,333 stewards of stoic philosophy. 629 00:17:55,367 --> 00:17:58,100 He's behind The Daily Stoic, Stillness is the Key, 630 00:17:58,133 --> 00:18:00,133 The Obstacle is the Way, and much more. 631 00:18:00,167 --> 00:18:02,067 Please welcome Ryan Holiday. 632 00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:06,300 [music playing] 633 00:18:06,333 --> 00:18:07,300 Welcome. 634 00:18:07,333 --> 00:18:12,467 Thank you. 635 00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:13,667 JORDAN KLEPPER: Ryan, welcome to the show. 636 00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:15,300 Thank you for having me. 637 00:18:15,333 --> 00:18:17,433 Ryan, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. 638 00:18:17,467 --> 00:18:19,067 You're a popular man. 639 00:18:19,067 --> 00:18:21,533 12 best-selling books. 640 00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:22,467 That's a lot of books. 641 00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:25,067 That's almost more books than I've read. 642 00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:27,233 But you have a lot of fans out there 643 00:18:27,267 --> 00:18:29,567 from very successful comedians like myself, 644 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,067 to folks in the NFL, to senators. 645 00:18:32,067 --> 00:18:35,100 Sort of what you speak to goes across many aisles, 646 00:18:35,133 --> 00:18:36,067 if you will. 647 00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:38,400 And I will say, I've taken a lot from some 648 00:18:38,433 --> 00:18:40,400 of the ideas you have. 649 00:18:40,433 --> 00:18:43,400 I will also say that you kind of talk about philosophy, 650 00:18:43,433 --> 00:18:44,633 and it helps me work through life. 651 00:18:44,667 --> 00:18:47,533 And then a byproduct is that I go home 652 00:18:47,567 --> 00:18:49,567 and I tell my wife how she should work through life. 653 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,367 RYAN HOLIDAY: That's a great idea. 654 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,600 Yeah. 655 00:18:51,633 --> 00:18:52,733 And I'm just-- before we get started, 656 00:18:52,767 --> 00:18:54,333 I'm wondering if it's possible for you to apologize 657 00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:57,733 to my wife for me. 658 00:18:57,767 --> 00:18:59,700 People asked my wife what it's like living 659 00:18:59,733 --> 00:19:01,300 with the stoic philosopher. 660 00:19:01,333 --> 00:19:04,800 And she usually answers, I don't know. 661 00:19:04,833 --> 00:19:07,200 That feels Socratic, but mostly maybe 662 00:19:07,233 --> 00:19:08,567 it's just passive aggressive. - Yes. 663 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,133 Yeah. 664 00:19:10,167 --> 00:19:11,433 One of us writes about it, and then the other 665 00:19:11,467 --> 00:19:12,733 is sort of naturally it. 666 00:19:12,767 --> 00:19:13,533 JORDAN KLEPPER: That kind of lives it. 667 00:19:13,567 --> 00:19:15,167 Yeah. 668 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,067 For those who don't know a stoic philosopher, what 669 00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,567 are the tenets of stoicism? 670 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,467 Stoicism, if I had to summarize in one sentence, 671 00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:23,400 I would say it's this idea that we don't control what happens 672 00:19:23,433 --> 00:19:25,533 to us in life, but we control how we respond 673 00:19:25,567 --> 00:19:27,200 to what happens in life. 674 00:19:27,233 --> 00:19:29,467 And the stoics say that, basically, every situation, 675 00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:32,667 big ones, small ones, ones you wanted, ones you didn't want, 676 00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:34,267 it's all an opportunity to respond 677 00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:36,333 with these four virtues. 678 00:19:36,367 --> 00:19:39,400 The virtues are courage, discipline, 679 00:19:39,433 --> 00:19:41,500 justice, and wisdom. 680 00:19:41,533 --> 00:19:44,433 So the idea is that that is what life is asking from you. 681 00:19:44,467 --> 00:19:47,467 One or all of those virtues in some kind 682 00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:50,267 of a combination, that's what it's demanding of you. 683 00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:53,133 And what's cool about the stoics is, like, I think 684 00:19:53,167 --> 00:19:55,400 when people hear philosopher, they think, 685 00:19:55,433 --> 00:19:58,367 like, a tweed jacket, or an old white guy in a toga, 686 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,367 or whatever. 687 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,167 JORDAN KLEPPER: Sure. 688 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,700 But the stoics were philosophers. 689 00:20:03,733 --> 00:20:05,300 They were thinkers, but they were also doers. 690 00:20:05,333 --> 00:20:07,533 The most well-known stoic is Marcus 691 00:20:07,567 --> 00:20:10,800 Aurelius, who was the emperor of Rome, the philosopher king. 692 00:20:10,833 --> 00:20:12,733 But there were stoics who were slaves, who were 693 00:20:12,767 --> 00:20:14,200 soldiers, who were artists. 694 00:20:14,233 --> 00:20:15,433 They were men and women. 695 00:20:15,467 --> 00:20:18,533 They were people trying to do what we're all trying to do, 696 00:20:18,567 --> 00:20:22,067 which is make sense of the crazy world that we live in. 697 00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:24,333 Right, but this image of them. 698 00:20:24,367 --> 00:20:27,700 Marcus Aurelius doesn't seem like the most modern person 699 00:20:27,733 --> 00:20:29,100 that people are drawn to. 700 00:20:29,133 --> 00:20:30,633 Why do you think there's-- 701 00:20:30,667 --> 00:20:33,567 don't get me wrong. 702 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,033 Why do you think there's resonance today? 703 00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:36,033 Yeah, I mean-- 704 00:20:36,067 --> 00:20:37,133 We have a hard time. 705 00:20:37,167 --> 00:20:40,033 We're kicking Rosa Parks out of libraries in Florida. 706 00:20:40,067 --> 00:20:41,033 So it feels like trying to-- 707 00:20:41,067 --> 00:20:42,033 I mean, maybe the fact that it's 708 00:20:42,067 --> 00:20:42,933 a white guy from back in the day 709 00:20:42,967 --> 00:20:46,200 makes it easier in places like Florida. 710 00:20:46,233 --> 00:20:47,600 But I think we have a hard time with grappling 711 00:20:47,633 --> 00:20:48,633 with historic ideas. 712 00:20:48,667 --> 00:20:49,767 These feel archaic. 713 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,767 Why are they resonant? 714 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,267 I actually think that life hasn't 715 00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:56,367 changed that much, good and bad, right? 716 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,067 Obviously, we made all sorts of progress in 2,000 years. 717 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:01,100 And, at the same time, life is still life. 718 00:21:01,133 --> 00:21:03,067 Like, in one passage in Meditations, 719 00:21:03,067 --> 00:21:05,500 Marcus Aurelius is like, when you're struggling to get out 720 00:21:05,533 --> 00:21:08,300 of bed in the morning and you go, but it's so much warmer 721 00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:10,067 here under the covers, he goes, but is 722 00:21:10,067 --> 00:21:12,500 this what you were put here to do, to stay under the covers 723 00:21:12,533 --> 00:21:13,500 and be warm? 724 00:21:13,533 --> 00:21:14,500 He says, no, you have a purpose. 725 00:21:14,533 --> 00:21:15,500 You should help people. 726 00:21:15,533 --> 00:21:17,200 Should make a positive difference in the world. 727 00:21:17,233 --> 00:21:20,167 You should do what you're uniquely suited to do. 728 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,300 So even 2,000 years ago, the most powerful man in the world 729 00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:25,433 was like, ah, I don't want to get up. 730 00:21:25,467 --> 00:21:26,567 It's too early. 731 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,200 And that's because he was a person. 732 00:21:28,233 --> 00:21:30,800 And Marcus also lived through a pandemic. 733 00:21:30,833 --> 00:21:34,300 He lived through social unrest. 734 00:21:34,333 --> 00:21:37,100 There was an insurrection and a coup, right? 735 00:21:37,133 --> 00:21:39,233 Some of this might be sounding familiar. 736 00:21:39,267 --> 00:21:40,067 So-- 737 00:21:40,067 --> 00:21:41,767 At least the laziness does, yes. 738 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,100 Yes, yes. 739 00:21:43,133 --> 00:21:44,100 Life is life. 740 00:21:44,133 --> 00:21:44,967 People are people. 741 00:21:45,067 --> 00:21:47,067 And for better or for worse, that's 742 00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:48,567 going to always stay the same. 743 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,800 JORDAN KLEPPER: It feels like what is active. 744 00:21:50,833 --> 00:21:55,567 I mean, there's been philosophy for at least 20 years. 745 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,100 We'll fact check that, but I know it's been around a while. 746 00:21:59,133 --> 00:22:00,367 There's many tenets of philosophy. 747 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,267 It feels like an element of stoicism 748 00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:04,067 is that it feels actionable-- 749 00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:05,500 RYAN HOLIDAY: Yeah. 750 00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:06,633 --around your emotions. 751 00:22:06,667 --> 00:22:07,833 Is that fair to say? 752 00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:10,300 Yeah, you're-- it's not this thing that you think about. 753 00:22:10,333 --> 00:22:12,700 It's this thing you're supposed to do, right? 754 00:22:12,733 --> 00:22:15,300 So some of the stoics-- 755 00:22:15,333 --> 00:22:17,767 the great stoics never wrote anything down. 756 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,667 They were considered stoics because of how they lived. 757 00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:23,167 It was the idea of deeds, not words. 758 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,300 So, yes, I struggle with it in my own life, 759 00:22:25,333 --> 00:22:29,367 but I try to actually put the ideas into practice. 760 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,500 They're not-- philosophy-- it's a shame 761 00:22:31,533 --> 00:22:33,600 if we think of philosophy as a series of thought 762 00:22:33,633 --> 00:22:35,233 exercises, right? 763 00:22:35,267 --> 00:22:36,567 How do we know if we're living in a computer 764 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,200 simulation, right? 765 00:22:38,233 --> 00:22:41,367 Or is there such a thing as right and wrong? 766 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,567 Like, we can use it to answer these abstract, impractical 767 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,100 questions, or we can use it as a way 768 00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:48,167 to make things impossibly complicated, 769 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,333 or we can use it to really simplify 770 00:22:50,367 --> 00:22:51,767 things and go, who am I? 771 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,533 What am I supposed to do? 772 00:22:53,567 --> 00:22:55,733 How do I make the best out of this 773 00:22:55,767 --> 00:22:57,700 complicated, messy situation? 774 00:22:57,733 --> 00:22:59,567 That's what I think philosophy is. 775 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,800 And it's a shame that so few people have access to it, 776 00:23:03,833 --> 00:23:06,367 or that it's been made accessible to them 777 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,067 in a way that would help them make better decisions 778 00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:10,067 and be better people. 779 00:23:10,067 --> 00:23:11,067 All right, help me-- help me through this. 780 00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:12,067 - OK. - All right? 781 00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:12,867 So a real-life philosophy. 782 00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:16,333 I'm-- I'm with my son at a store, 783 00:23:16,367 --> 00:23:20,500 and he throws a shit fit and is screaming 784 00:23:20,533 --> 00:23:22,333 and doesn't want to leave. 785 00:23:22,367 --> 00:23:23,333 And I'm embarrassed. 786 00:23:23,367 --> 00:23:24,300 I'm exhausted. 787 00:23:24,333 --> 00:23:26,633 How do I use philosophy in a moment like that? 788 00:23:26,667 --> 00:23:28,667 Well, I think what we do is we 789 00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:32,433 don't do what the guy on the plane did, which is throw-- 790 00:23:32,467 --> 00:23:34,433 which is throw our own tantrum
