To a Stoic, knowledge is something that has to be sought and internalized, not parroted from a book. ![]() They’re never pompous or moralizing, though. Many of the most popular Ryan Holiday books are on exactly this subject. As a first approximation, though, we could say that it’s based on the recognition that, while external events are largely outside our control, our reactions to them aren’t. ![]() Explaining it in simple terms is next to impossible (that’s what the top Ryan Holiday books are for!). At a deeper level, however, Stoicism is a complex yet surprisingly pragmatic philosophy. In day-to-day language, a stoic is someone who can endure discomfort without complaining. Ryan Holiday’s best books are therefore filled not just with interesting anecdotes, but thought-provoking parables. ![]() One reason for his taking on these seemingly unconnected roles is his intellectual ability to look not just at specific issues, but also the principles and driving forces behind them. Over the years, he’s been a college dropout, marketer, public relations consultant, whistleblower on deceptive media practices, philosopher, historian, political activist, bestselling author, newspaper editor, business owner, and farmer. Ryan Holiday’s career has been nothing if not varied. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Irresponsible puckboy![]() ![]() This is an incredible friends to lovers, my straight best friend, hockey romance.
