Nearly two thousand years ago, Stoic philosophers were also trying to find peace.
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor, made it a point to spend time alone with his journal every morning before dawn. Epictetus, the former slave turned philosopher, admonished his students to constantly keep in mind that “Men are disturbed not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things.”
For the Stoics, practicing philosophy was a necessity. Something they could constantly come back to to remind themselves what was in their control and help them view outside events with more detachment. And this is why the writings of the Stoics have endured for so long and continue to teach people from all walks of life how to be less reactive, more reflective, and more level-headed.

Teşekkür ederim ingilizce bilmediğim için yorumlarda konunun özetini arıyorum. Sizin gibi insanlar iyi ki var.
I was about to list these myself.
Being a friend to your self, what a hard lesson to learn after only ever hearing criticism and negativity towards yourself from those you expect to love you. I think this is the hardest for men, as its rare to ever hear something positive said towards you as a man. You cant expect others to make you happy, its up to you to be happy anyway.
My situation is Resonating with this lines .
Preach
So, so true...
Same.
Still learning this and the DS’s reminder to “be a good friend to yourself.”
Im suffering through major depression, stuck in my head, wishing for happiness. This video helps to know it's not just me who finds life hard.
Same here

You are not alone. From as long as I can remember I have been suffering from depression. Stay strong, man!
The highest truth is this: The greatest thing we can do in this life is to suffer with joy.. Which is to absorb evil and give love in spite of what happens to us
I partly disagree about absorbing evil. we don't need to be a vessel or endure it. but yes, give love.
@@edmboiWhat did Christ did on the cross, is what I meant by “absorb evil.” As was said by him, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” What if love were in fact the greatest force in the universe, even more, the very thing which created it and binds it together this very moment.. It is good to meditate on these things..
"To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance" is a quote by Oscar Wilde I first read like ten years ago and it stayed with me ever since. I try to live by that. Thank you for this video
If you life applying these quotes your life is an enjoyable journey
“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?”
- Epictetus
Good job dropping a random quote with no added context or insight..... Let me do it for you.
Maybe being alone and isolated is NECESSARY in seeking what's best for yourself. Maybe chasing that better version of yourself DEMANDS being alone, undistracted, and isolated. Maybe now is when you do your best work. So don't let the supposed loneliness bring you down, USE IT to your advantage! You got this! Just keep going
@@arizonacolour8793maybe some people would know all that was implied, the video the comment was attached to being the context. No need to be unkind
@@itchysheets1222 the title of this video has nothing to do with "demanding the best for yourself" - I made that connection.
I start my day with a swim & end the day with a swim .. I found in it Peace / Quiet and Calm. My soul is Restored …
Freestyle? Man your fit!
Do you think it's time Mr. Holiday addresses the lessons from the knowledge from the modern era?
"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."MARCUS AURELIUS
"Being a good person. Doing good work. And focusing on what you can control." Hit home for me. When you're in the thick of life it's so hard to zoom out but for me, I want to remember to do my best to simply be a good person. From that I truly believe comes good work and allows one to take a proactive approach to the All! Thanks man. Honestly, thank you! 🙏
I’ve followed stoic teachings for many years now and Ryan has been a great guide for me as I’ve faced extreme stress, heartbreak, divorce, loss of career and now the spectre of illness. I push myself to “do my best” in each situation I find myself in (though I don’t always manage it) so that I can live with myself and be a good role model for my sons. I don’t tell anyone about any of this and in the end I cling to two of Marcus’s quotes. “The obstacle is the way” and “I’m not afraid of death, I’m only afraid of not doing my best”.
That's beautiful
Spot on!!! Peace.
I wish that I could have learned about Stoic Philosophy when I was younger! I am grateful that I found this knowledge the past few months, and have been trying to learn and grasp the principals. I started reading Ryan's book The Obstacle is the Way, and it is so impactful and resonates with me! Peace to all people that want to be a Positive Force for Good in the World!
I had never considered that the world is the way that it is so that I can become the person that I'm capable of being. That really helps. Thank you!
this video came out at a good time, thanks Ryan
Heya, hope you're doing alright! Hope you have a good day! 💛
@arshaddahlan thank,yeah, I'm good, just helpful video at the right time)
"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." - Marcus Aurelius
It's not a matter of being "worthy" of friendships or love. It's a matter of recognizing that people will disappoint you, always. It's not just a possibility, it is a certainty that people will disappoint you, regardless of who they are.
Perfect timing. Thank you.
The 12 Stoic remedies for tackling loneliness and depression have offered me new perspectives and practical strategies to improve my mental health. Grateful for this beacon of hope and guidance. A must-watch for anyone seeking solace and strength.

Great Food for Thought. 🎇Keep Shining and Stay Motivated 💪🏾
Brilliant Analysis

Good morning, Ryan...... Oh! How I wish I could transport myself into a classroom once again. I'm a retired junior high teacher. We would do stoic thoughts and discussions every morning. Or, at the end of each day.. whatever. Thank you for always sharing your wisdom with us.
Excellent advice.
Needed this one right about now
❤this content is top notch thx 🙏
This helped. After learning about the death of Alexei Navalny, I’ve been distraught. This helped me realign.
I was waiting for this topic only for information
Thanks for this Latest Video____🥰
great video!
Muito bom o vídeo! This video is very good! Congrattulations!
Explosive stuff! Keep leading from the front brother.
Get out there and do something that makes you feel better!
Hey Ryan! I love your videos. Could you include English subtitles? (not the automatically created), because as a Spanish speaker sometimes I find difficult to listen to english without subs

Always golden words... but man those cut aways are so cheesey 😅
Cool Seaside shirt, I live in Niceville
Focusing on the positive aspects of your life can boost your mood, reduce stress, and increase happiness. Treat yourself with kindness and respect, especially when you are feeling low. Avoid self-criticism and harsh judgments, and remind yourself of your strengths and achievements.
Fully agree, often times we just naturally overlook the positives and zoom in the negatives
‘Remember you’re not talking to a bad person’. GENIUS
Thank you so much Ryan. I have been helped so immensely by this “thought technology” as Merlin Mann would call it.
Life cannot be appreciated without these practices, and so many of us would be oblivious to what has been figured out for thousands of years if not for your compelling words and passion.
I burst out laughing when I saw Tom Segura talking about ego.
I used to love Tom but he has no doubt become intolerably arrogant, ungrateful, and entitled over the past couple years. He is almost the antithesis of what you preach. He’s enormously successful and has a large audience, and that is a powerful siren you must resist Ryan. It’s like having a video about being self-aware and then including a quote from Trump.
Thank you Ryan!
Always knew my dog was actually a 2,000 year old philosopher in disguise.
Interesting tips. But I think the title could be more like 12 (Stoic) Remedies while feeling lonely or depressed. Anyways, thank you for this video. Basic and fundamental solutions to fight that lonely battle.
❤
They say it's by one factory go this way I say no its that way to that factory. It's been very confusing what exactly is the path to what pieces of what parts of which puzzles or what not.
Lol, 😂 as Ryan autographs his books. 😉
Speak to me lord 4:27
wow stoics knew what was up.
Haha I'm watching this with my goldfish, he's not depressed anymore.
I cannot finish The Meditations, does the man betray himself or die a hero?
Can anyone suggest which 2 or 3 Holiday books to get ? Can`t afford them all.
Maybe you can borrow them from the library?
Start with "Ego is the Enemy" (from a library).
Download the pdf version for free from the internet.
Ego is the Enemy
Stillness is the key
Courage is calling
Lives of the Stoics
Obstacle is the way
The boy who would be king
After six decades I don't want anything anymore. Except for tthe screaming to stop. But hey, I am GOOD at it. #TheObstacleIsTheWay
I feel seen, thinking of starting a bath bomb business called 'Marcus' Relaxing Rub'.
stoicism is genius.
Wow, im early
What's the worst that could happen?
Wow this guy sounds like my yoga instructor, just needs an incense sponsorship now.
Seems like one big commercial!!
I have handed my life over to God. I don't feel lonely anymore. God fills the emptiness. People can be selfish. I'm responsible for my own happiness. I do walks , artwork , read , listen to music. But like I said I'm responsible for my own happiness.
Where's my crystals and essential oils?
Great video as always but you gotta stop the better help sponsor. They have been selling user info for years and I'm sure these people that need and want the help don't want that data sold to their social media apps to manipulate them and make matters worse.
Ryan has been to couples therapy. That hardly ever works. Next stop is the “family” court where she collects money and prizes from the simp.
There is no way to peace. Peace is the way. Mahatma Gandhi
First
You had my total admiration up until the affiliation with the racketeering better help scammers. Disgusted. Surely you can't be that short of money Ryan.
This moment is enough? How stupid! This moment is never enough! Serving God and Jesus Christ is ALWAYS ENOUGH! and nothing else ever is enough!
There is only one way to true PEACE and Tranquility, and that is your relationship with Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ is the ONLY true way to life eternal, there is no other way!
I disagree. The Catholics brought that notion. There's SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!!!
Anyone who calls a ranch small..I..you lost us :X &&& you hadda pony! gtfo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What. No.
Better help is a scam shame on you for promoting it
Shame on you for passing judgement so quickly
@@i_observe9846 tf are you talking about
@@i_observe9846 wdym lol? Actually look up some of the stories about how it works
can you tell us why.
Yes.... very disappointing. I was actually shocked.
Why is there so much political correctness in your books?...Was it required by the publisher?
Betterhelp is awful
the way to peace is by finding the real God .. Allah
Allah is a terror1st
You shut up Ryan hoiday
You shut up, Graham
Great meditation to start the day- I love the power of including walking into ones everyday routine to augment a #peripatetic lifestyle through flaneurism|flanerie=] It is also the best way to unplug from technology and the grid to enhance and ingest all of the visual auditory, and olfactory stimuli through the ancient French philosophy of #RhythmAnalysis . I think if one practices these #atomichabits daily one can refine their #sensoryperception, #intuition, #freedom, #creativity, & #intelligence. From a #realestate perspective #DrRichardMFenker says a key to any real estate professional is to "walk the property".
