075: Book Review - Right Thing, Right Now by Ryan Holiday

In this episode, we dive into Ryan Holiday's "Right Thing Right Now," breaking down its core messages through the lens of timeless virtues celebrated by Stoic greats like Marcus Aurelius.
We explore how these principles can transform our modern lives by dissecting the book into three powerful sections: personal integrity ('me'), sociopolitical responsibility ('we'), and collective human effort ('all').
I’m also sharing my journey of running an ultra marathon for a friend battling cancer, showcasing the enduring power of integrity and compassion.
Let’s get real about honesty. Reflecting on my grandfather’s unshakeable commitment to his word, we uncover the value of integrity in personal relationships and professional settings.
I’ll share business experiences where transparency, even when admitting mistakes, built trust and credibility. We also look at the courageous actions of whistleblowers, inspired by the principles of truth upheld by Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
Finally, we focus on taking responsibility for our goals. Drawing inspiration from F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "The Adjuster," we’ll explore the transformative journey from entitlement to maturity. I’ll share my own experiences with fitness goals and the practice of daily journaling, emphasizing the importance of leaving a legacy of lessons for future generations.
