EP 63 - Ryan Holiday
oday on The Pretty Intense Podcast we have the fascinating Ryan Holiday. Ryan is a best-selling author. His most recent book is called "Lives of the Stoics" an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics themselves, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue. We talk about how philosophy was meant as a form of counsel, to help guide us through life's challenges. We can really see why it is a shame that philosophy is not more readily available for that guidance. How the teachings can be applied to modern times. How the tools it gives us can save us from bad choices and patterns. Ryan makes philosophy feel so accessible. We hope you enjoy this absolutely enlightening conversation with Ryan Holiday.
