The question isn't whether you need help staying on course. We all do. The question is whether you're wise enough, like Odysseus, to tie yourself to the mast.
This week on theDaily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan sits down with Mark Manson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, to talk about what it takes to actually be successful (and what it doesn’t):
“Who is this sleep-at-your-desk, sleep-when-you’re-dead, burn-the-candle-at-two-ends, hustle-culture myth benefitting? Not the individual, for the most part, but the people who are trying to harness the power of said individual.”
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan sits down with journalist and author Helen Lewis to talk about genius, ego, and why so many “brilliant” people eventually spin out.
“So you sort of watch this person get transformed into something that is almost unrecognizable … rooted in the narcissism of needing to be relevant.”
