PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
History isn’t something that other people lived through and we get to read about. We all live through history and we all can make it if we choose.
In a recent video on theDaily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday talks with Tom Allen of “Chad Goes Deep” about what it takes to succeed at something:
“You need a certain amount of shamelessness to get up and do the thing when you’re bad, which you invariably are at the beginning. But you also need the humility and maybe even the self-loathing to think that you’re bad so you do the work to get good.”
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan talks with Jay Heinrichs, bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing and one of the world’s leading experts on rhetoric and persuasion, about why self-persuasion might actually be more powerful than raw willpower.
“It's a matter of persuasion, of reframing, of changing your mood, your attitude toward things, and your willingness to do something or stop doing it.”

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
“I have discovered that most people have no one to talk to, no one, that is, who really wants to listen.”
Let’s talk about something most men don’t talk about enough—prostate health. As men age, the risk of prostate issues, like cancer, rises sharply. The good news? Early insight makes all the difference.
Function gives members access to 100+ advanced lab tests each year—including key markers that track prostate function, hormones, inflammation, and more—all reviewed by clinicians and translated into clear, actionable insights.
Function helps you stay proactive, catch changes early, and take control of your long-term health.
