What they're saying
4 people recommend this book
“It's Ryan being like talking about, yeah, talking about Marcus Aurelius and like how you apply that to life. And it's like, these are sort of the ponderings, is that a word? The things that I pull from his books that I underline that mean so much to me. And now, he's delivering them to me in a medium that actually works better, which is these little clips, still read his books. I just mean it's better than underlining a chapter and trying to find that dog eared page. And that's been really brilliant.”
“Idk, here is what I’m lisenting to this week but I feel like my taste is a little niche. Just pick a topic that interests you and listen to a book written by someone who spent their whole lives studying that topic. pic.twitter.com/Sn73qAn53J”
“My favorite Ryan Holiday book and the ideal entry point into Stoicism, using historical and contemporary examples to show how adversity becomes opportunity rather than roadblock.”
