“Nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” Shakespeare
iirc this quote is actually in the book. Pretty good book that everyone should give a read, imho... : )
what if the time Shakespeare said this, he was high
Thank you.
Yes watching your child be eaten alive by a bear is not bad.
@@vladislavno the thought of watching your son get eaten by a bear is perceived as bad. As it should.

This makes Ryan Holliday my brother :)
My eyes filled with tears towards the end of this video. I never knew such concepts. To learn very new concepts feels like a rebirth. Many thanks to Ryan Holiday and the founder of this channel. Truly appreciated.
Did it significantly affect your life?
Hey guys, our guest today is Ryan Holiday. Hope you enjoy! :)
Get the book: amzn.to/1PU8Udc
you read a lot of books.I think you have increased your inner power and potential. but I have a question in mind.have you grown a business or are you a millonere now? or anthing else? I ask this questions entirely from financial standpoint not spiritual.I want to know the effect of reading all books on anyone's bank balance.thank u for making this videos...
+Marcelo Uhlig everyone needs money at least a certain amount. we just can't deny the fact.spiritual peace is very imp,I certainly agree.but we have to gather certain amount of money.it is well explained in RD PD by R kiyosaki.for avg people, they want to be rich.so I asked how can we be rich.he has read a lot no. of good books.so that I asked him.its as simple as that.
please try to get as many as videos as you can invite alot books author this is best time I'm ready to absorb all thing you are doing just great I really like 5 min with animation post your video your voice I love it just increase your frequency more
thanks from India
Good video, +FightMediocrity!
I do miss when you were the sole narrator. I felt like your unique teaching style really made you stand out from all the other narrator / animation channels. Your content is still as good, but I feel like I'm missing out on being taught by you and your experience.
One idea might be to have you introduce them in the beginning and finish it in the end. Just a thought, but I'd prefer you become the narrator and story teller again.
+FightMediocrity check out our animated reviews !
I absolutely love Ryan's writing. The Obstacle is the way turned me. It gave me a shift in perception of how I ought to address/view my own Obstacle. It's full of life changing messages, impressive quotes, mind blowing examples of those who has been beset by Obstacle. Ryan speak about perception, action and will. He is my most lovely authors. I choose him as a mentor. Thanks for the video.
I'm living my life putting God First (In Truth & In Spirit) and and, applying these basic principles. @RyanHoliday I've read your work and the audio version is even better.
"Every "failure" brings with it the seed of an equivalent success " :)
You should review the books because you talk with passion and you review them from your point of view which gives this channel its character.
+ahmed alfadhel Thanks for the feedback, Ahmed!
Can't praise these vids highly enough. Just incredible.
Stoicism is definitely something most people should pick up on. I find any philosophy can help in a way but for me Stoicism is something that resonates deeply to my core
+Beny Matos Yeah, it's probably been the most helpful philosophy to me personally.
This guy is very cohesive! REAL TEACHER
Thanks man. Needed this now. Having some relapse with anxiety for the first time in 4 years, completely out of the blue. However, I tell myself all day long that it is here to serve a purpose, to tell me something, to make me grow stronger, wiser and more capable. Every adversity holds the seed...
+SturL Good to hear. Good luck with everything and remember that things aren't that big of a deal. That will help a lot with anxiety.
Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, expressed it this way: "The way out is the way through", and whenever I encounter a problem or a difficulty I stop to look for the opportunity contained in it, and how avoiding it or condemning it is to lose, but how embracing it and going thru it is but another path towards my enlightenment.
Fantastic video would love to see more authors introduce their work this way.
+Mark Flavin Thanks, Mark!
great meditation to start the day- timeless & modern.
i like it when u narrate it and explain it in a "dumbed down" version that is easy to understand and it's funny when you include examples related to your life.. please do more with you as the narrator
+MMHazelnutLatte Thanks for the feedback.
The fine skill of turning learned helplessness to learned optimism. That's stoicism!!!!
A lot of people are complaining and preferred your voice, and so do I, but I think the good thing about this is that the author was picking the core ideas from his OWN book, meaning we are probably getting the most accurate and helpful info we possibly could from the video. Thanks for another awesome video man ✌🏻️
Every year on my birthday I read meditations. Next year I’ll start reading this after I read that
I used to check your channel everyday waiting for a new video. You are the best in what you do. And nowadays, sad but I don't feel very connected to your videos. I remember watching all your videos back to back in one day. I was so connected to them. Maybe its your audio speed, or maybe its the proper timing of an image and the audio. I have just come back after like 4-5 weeks just to post this comment just in case someone else felt the same way too. I think you can tell by how many people viewed your video. I hope you can bring back that old way of not only summarizing the book in your one of a kind way, but making the video move (bring an image every few seconds). Other than that, I really pray that you keep growing. Your channel is a life changer. - your FAN
it's strange that all these things are inate in all of us yet its not so easy to come across like minded people around us. Very glad we have the internet and technology! it just shows all the obstacles that people has come across throughout history that contributed to the fruits we now have today :)
Life is a lot like surfing. You have to adjust your weight on the board to navigate the ever changing waves. You enjoy the ride, you enjoy the challenges and you make the adjustments that the waves bring. HAPPY SURFING!
I've read this book awhile ago, nice to hear it summarised through Ryan's own voice again
I dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Decker Emerson Instablaster ;)
@Yael Rayden Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Yael Rayden It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Decker Emerson Happy to help :)
Whats an objective Judgement?
Whats an unselfish action?
Whats a willing acceptance?
Thats all I need to understand now at this very moment.
I came to this through zen. Such a beautiful and applicable way to take on the path of self development.
+William Bristow Glad you've found the channel useful, William!
This video is what got me hooked to your channel, through which I've discovered so many enriching books and discussions. Great job!
I recently went to a talk by Ryan Holiday related to this book, and I really appreciate the sober, practical approach he promotes. So many other "self-help" books discussed here are so fantastically optimistic about everything, but the thoughts summarised here can really help you improve in a more natural way - one day at a time.
This doesn't mean that you can't think big or be optimistic - one of the key takeaways of this book. Highly recommended!
The art of improvement is another channel I watch from TH-cam as well.
Thanks, really love the video that reminds me of the fact that most people are controlled by fear - and therefore freeze instead of actually do things.
Great wisdom in your channel.
love this...the obstacle is the path
I can totally relate myself to this video.. This is so awesome coz things are not going my way these days and now after watching this I feel that this is great as I've an opportunity to accomplish a task and generate a belief in me by anyhow fighting hard... You're always an inspiration, I'm thankful that a channel like FightMediocrtity exists... Thank you so much :)
You turn what's in the way into the way.........that's deep!
Thank you for breaking this book down for us.
Good perspective, taking obstacles and using this obstacle as part of the solution. Nice.
I liked the way you relay your message. Clear, concise and to the point.
6:20 summary
I don't know if you would read this but all I wanna say is that you are doing a great job and I hope you get extremely popular with this amazing content... Thanks
+ghufran ullah Well, thank you so much! :)
Great choice of book for this week :) I'm glad to see you posting regularly again, I missed your videos for a few weeks haha.
These are some amazing, next level videos you have on your channel. Keep up the brilliant work. Kudos to you.
The foundation of this channel is based on aWesoMeness!i!i! I believe in supporting aWesoMeness 8-) keep up the aWesoMeness & I'll continue to watch & listen. Thanks for bein' aWesoMe yo diggidy!
Amazing, I am truly inspired about what I discovered with Ego is the Enemy, and now to hear this illustrated even more about this letting go of it was awesome to find out
‘As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.
I like that you're trying something new. Like someone else said, it removes you as the bottle neck. however I think you've lost the feel of "your product". You are your product. A couple of these speakers just aren't jiving well as you can tell from comments. Maybe you can give them a script or something. Add your background music that s reminiscent of you and your past videos. Just seeing your hand in the video every now and then doesn't seem to cut it. Maybe guest speakers should be less frequent. Once a month or every couple of months. Just thought I'd add to the feedback :)
+Niquey Choi Thanks so much for the feedback.
Excellent advice, I typed out a quote from this video and printed it out to stick on my wall
One of the best books I've read this year. Highly recommend checking it out, there is probably 1,000 messages worth integrating into life.
+Hayden Gladstone Awesome. Glad you liked the book! :)
Right....How is losing a loved one a good thing?How do i see the good in it ? How is becoming homeless a "chance"?This book is 70%" you can do it" and 30% pure Bullshit from an author who never had to face adversity...
Excellent work. This channel is improving the lives of so many people. Thank you.
+Chris Zeleny Thanks, Chris!
tq dearest..u r changing ppls lives
Amazing. Just looked for a video on The Obstacle is the Way after Ryan's AMA a few minutes ago. This is what I was looking for.
That was really some amazing position, inspire me that every obstacles is just ladders to be taken to success thanks for posting
Ironic is this video about adapting and embrace the change and difficulties and people complain about a minor change of a voice.
I needed this. Thank you!
I recently began listening to the Meditations audiobook.
This video was FANTASTIC!
Thanks so much!
:)
I HAVE TO get this book!
The book is so much better than the summary
I miss your voice.. 😊 Your recent video on 'how much money to make on TH-cam' is amazing.. Inspirational. Thank you for so much value..
same here, his explaining style was good
+Chirag Kumar Yeah!!!
I appreciate that you make these videos, it saves me lots of time
thanks for this, needed it today
I better like your own narration, but is okay THANK YOU Guy! always giving!
really good, i read the book because of this animation. Also your logo is really legit.
I echo what a lot of other people have been saying: These new videos also have great content. However, what I love about your earlier videos is 1) great content, 2) the personal stories you shared of you you applied the content. And I'm missing part 2.
This new direction might make sense in terms of scale and relationship-building, I just hope that alongside this we'll still get to see videos narrated by you.
Thanks for putting out great content, we watch it every morning :)
I am very regular viewer of your channel, thanks for providing so meaningful content.
Your's are the only video I see till the very end!!!! great work!!
Thank you for bringing out such amazing ideas to be inspired ! Awesome man :)
People can learn so much from stoicism
Respect your work man! Love from India!!
its cool that you invite the authors to narrate the videos, but your voice is much greater and better understandable for most of non Englisch natives.
If you could only add a transcript in the description. Your videos are informative and the transcript would serve a great summary.
Hey welcome back man . Missed your videos
+Marius Alexander Thanks, Marius! :)
I am in love with this channel! Amazing work!!!
FightMediocrity is superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow u are really doing great work that can,change people s lives n way of thinking. thank u for so much wisdom
To start seeing things as on the way not in the way
The animations are getting better all the time. It is a TV series level by now.
You would have great motivational speech with your voice.
I love your work brother. Thanks so much for all the efforts made to put these videos out there.
Truly inspirational and full of wealth
+Onis Csadi Thanks brother!
This is really solid, especially for entrepreneurs and small business owners!
Great video / Ryan Holiday is someone I really respect, impressive level of knowledge
THROUGH IS THE WAY.
Thank you! This is such a great summary/introduction. Thank you.
I very much enjoyed this video. Thx Ryan!
Such an amazing book. Such a great summary and such a great TH-cam channel name!
Thank you man! 👌
"If you change the way you look at things, things will change" -Max Planck
Thanks for the great video, by the way ;-)
There's nothing wrong with mediocrity. What b.s. to vilify stability, the groundwork used by others to catapult. Sometimes mediocrity makes people happy not stupid or inferior.
After reading several self help and career books, it became my mantra to find the career suited to personality and strengths. I said to a postal worker, "You can design a life by planning, wealth by career ladders, success from failures." She said, "I like my life. I work a monotonous job to make money and then enjoy myself when I get home and go on vacations. Mediocrity is what I want in a job. I don't need purpose everywhere - only in my personal time."
Me? I need purpose in a job. I need to know the world got better after my eight hours which is why I went into healthcare. But it was b.s. for me to imagine everyone feels that way ... or even SHOULD feel that way. MEDIOCRITY is not an enemy, except for maybe YOU. ;)
Thanks man for all the uploads! What are your upcoming videos?
+losblancos99 You're welcome. Not sure yet, I have quite a few narrations from authors and I have a few different scripts of my own.
Next on my reading list.
Bought the book because of the video, thank you!
To whoever is complaining about "the new guy's voice", FightMediocrity is all about providing knowledge. We don't come here to get mental masturbated by the owners voice. This "new guy" is the author and I doubt anyone would be able to create a much better video than him. Unless you're here to get mental masturbated by some sexy voice then I think your priorities in self-development is not in order.
To the owner of this channel, people don't like change. So it's normal to receive these kind of "we want you back" feedback. Keep up the outsourcing! That's what real business owners do.
Thank you
At 4:40 "things bigger than us", does this mean things like the collective good, the well-being of all living creatures etc? That's how I interpreted it but I'm not sure. As for the rest, I've pretty much lived by this for years. Wasn't aware there was a term for it.
Thank you very much for creating these videos.
+Hash Kazi You're welcome! :)
So how does one practice stoic optimism and be certain they are not just being complacent. This seems like something that should come naturally for it to be healthy.
Great video as always. But Rommels is an...interesting (?) pick in this list of great stoic personalities. Is he a stoic is the sense of "Hitler's politics is what it is, I use this war to be the best military leader possible."? That would be quite a counter argument for stoicism.
The work you are doing is great
thank you for the video man. putting the book on my wishlist. will get it eventually
+Ghedeer Ibrahim Awesome, hope you enjoy the book! :)
Thank you so much.. great video as expected..
This video is awsome
Bro ive been here for years now. I come back to these and have acquired a couple books of my own.
1 thing that is not spoken on that i find a challenge often, is how can you be so ambitious, Success orientated and driven, yet hold down a relationship?
Is it as simple as you Dont or Can't you should be single? Or is there a mindset i need to indulge in?
Man these vids are too amazing
I bought the audiobook read by the author. I think this is a great book for young people who haven't experienced real challenge. I didn't like this book for myself. If you know how to turn lemons into lemonade this is not for you.
Thank you for your videos :) Man what a wealth of very good information, i'm going to watch all your vids
All these videos are brilliant! Keep em coming
+David Haw Thanks, David! :)
Honestly one of the greatest books I have every read. Inspired me to make a whiteboard style video of my own on the art of turning obstacles into advantages.
Ryan is just a fantastic writer of Philosophy and Stoicism. I'm gonna review his book on my channel in couple day
Just wanted to ssay that I love your channel man! You've helped my personal development a lot and you've even inspired the subjects of a few of my videos! But yeah thanks again. really : )
