Use These STOIC Virtues to Achieve GREATNESS | Ryan Holiday on Conversations with Tom

- When you think of someone being courageous, it’s easy to think of police, fire fighters, and military. Maybe the person that risked their life to help a total stranger in a time of need comes to mind as being courageous. But courage manifests in many ways than not just the physical acts that we default to. Ryan Holiday joins Tom to discuss his new book, Courage Is Calling. He explains how courage is ongoing.It’s about the moments and opportunities that are presented where you choose to act in courage, or you show up reckless without regard, or you choose the cowardly thing in that moment.
]Ryan unpacks having courage, acting in courage, and where it falls in the spectrum between being reckless and being a coward. Even the term coward seems harsh when you realize you may be guilty of acting cowardly at different points in your life. You’ve chosen to “save face” and look after your personal safety and benefit at some point, and it’s okay, we all have. Ryan further explains through his personal experiences that doing the courageous thing is not always self-evident, and that these moments will present themselves. This is a great jumping off point to exercise your courage muscle, do the heroic things and start living to a higher standard today.

QUOTES:
“That's kind of the idea of virtues, is to create sort of a structure that you can live in, that guides you so you're not again winging it on these critical decisions.” [7:03]
“There is no deed in this life so impossible that you cannot do it, your whole life should be lived as a heroic deed.” Leo Tolstoy read by Tom [12:21]
“History is not just a parade of shitty people and crimes and awfulness and hypocrites, that we are making progress and things are getting better and it's getting better because people were courageously committed to ideas and ideals, and risked themselves and their reputations to try to make those things more real.” [22:45]
“You don't get to stick your head in the sand and deny that facts are facts, but you have to decide what facts are you going to take and integrate into your understanding of the world, and what your imperative as an individual is.” [31:28]
“What do you do with the little moments that life offers you? Do you make the brave choice Or the cowardly choice?” [34:32]
“If the fight doesn't need to happen, it's not courageous to start it [....] deciding what battles need to be fought, what risks need to be taken, how risk can be taken off the table if it's not necessary. This is an important part of courage. It's not just, I don't feel fear.” [44:49]
“The thing you're hesitating on doing, the considerations, are usually very helpful in reminding you of what actually matters.” [51:33]
“Courage isn't this thing where you're either courageous or you're not. It's more a thing you do, day to day.” [1:14:54]
“If you think about courage as like, very rarely the easy way, and almost always the harder way, you can build that as a muscle” [1:17:21]
“The decision to quit, the decision to give up, the decision to concede, that's ultimately a power that you always have.” [1:20:19]
“Everyone tells you, it's a bad idea, until you definitively prove it was a good idea. And then the curse is that it looks like it was obvious all along.” [1:25:30]

Have you read into Stoic philosophy before? If so, what is your favorite virtue and why?
Hey Tom do you think you could get James Clear on your show? I think he would make an awesome episode
Thank you Tom Bilyue for this👍👍👍👍
I have not read Stoic philosophy, but have read several human development theorists, and discovered the empiricism of some theories, which I prefer as paradigms(Freud, Kohlberg, Bronfenbrenner, others). I enjoyed your conversation with Ryan Holiday on his life's virtues of courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom leading to greatness. I believe his "greatness" may be equivalent to what Kohlberg discovered as the highest level of human development and functioning (stage six). Ryan is able to face the racism of the past, but does he have the courage to face the presence of racism in American culture and institutions today? Does he believe America, the nation, can move forward in these virtues without coming to terms with the role of racism in both history, and more importantly, current American culture?
Thank you so much for this!!! Perfect timing after getting fired by standing by my morals after 14 years in medical and dealing with the anxiety of this decision
Epictetus has been my dude since childhood. And Temperance is my favorite...because I suck at it.
Loving the resurgence of Stoicism in popular culture. My grandmother, a retired teacher, would be thrilled to the bone. Well done, Tom!
When I was in the hospital in Santa Monica, 3 years ago. My doctor saw me reading Ryan’s book, “The obstacles is the way’. She told me, he was a friend of her, and his book would help me as much as the medical treatment would help. She was Right!! Thank you Mr. Ryan
Stoicism really helps when the bad days come. It avoids you to go rock bottom.
Try philosophy of prophet Muhammad, all other teachers will fail in front of him.
Yeah this shit just got me through an affair my wife was having…and may have saved my marriage too :)

Ryan Holiday stole everything he knows from Robert Greene, so sad
@@nikitadavid143 Robert Greene is Ryan's mentor , look that up , and for your information both of them took what they know from the Romans. So , not sad.
I met Ryan last year by a friend, I was dealing with a hard life context. Since there, he helps me to improve continually and be a better human being troughtout his ideas and insights from stoicism. This year, I've read all of his books, they are amazing. I have no words to say thanks Ryan!
I was like damn this is underrated, why isn’t anyone watching this? Then I realized it came out today.

It’s always great to have Ryan back on the show!
the pursuit of knowledge requires courage.... because the truth can be terrifying.
This is an under-rated interview. Ryan is amazing, particularly in how he tries to be an example in how he lives his life.
Sounds like Ryan H keeps making his work more and more relevant and more and more and more important to our modern culture
The justice book is going to make a splash
Love this, love all of them and love the dialogue.. they challenge ourselves to improve. Society needs this.
I love you, Ryan. Thank you for your work.

I'm a Nhilist and this video challenged my worldview. I fucking love it! I can't get over that nothing truly matters and this was a good first step.
Love this! Lots of us in the west are Atheist/Agnostic, but I think without some sort of philosophy to live by we end up listless, living shallow lives, so I love that Ryan is really bringing stoicism to light
I don't know who Ryan Holiday is before this convo and now that I'm done listening, I'm just amazed and feel nourished with the knowledge you both imparted. Impactful as always, thank you for this.
Ryan's perspective is so interesting! Check out more on our channel
I too write about the things I have struggled with or am currently trying to grow. Really deep and introspective conversation!
Ryan Holiday is one of the greatest authors of our time..excited for the new book.

Very true, I think so many of people’s negative attitudes/laziness are due to cowardice…they have opted out of society rather than tackling to challenges in front of them. I find myself sometimes slipping then I remind myself that the alternative is me becoming a cynical blob with no hope or happiness in my life.
My most favorite one of your podcast Tom, thank you! Watched twice and saved it to watch again down the road.
Ryan you are absolutely lovely to listen to, love your brilliance as well! 💞
I always put myself out there, took chances, pushed myself. I failed every time. I can tell you, it doesn't feel good.
Wow I love this guy's mind.
When I were younger, I jumped in a lot of stuff and failed. And as I got older, fear somehow crept in and my taking chances slowed down considerably.
Same here and I'm 'only' 29 and it's driving me insane, I hate how this fear and uncertainty has crept into my thinking robbing much of the joy of simply trying and doing things.
One thing that really helps is to choose a goal and focus on the process. This decouples the doing from the final result.
Brilliant ! Thank you Ryan and Tom for this conversation!
Excellent interview. Thank you.
Soo much wisdom in this interview! Thank you gentlemen! 🙏🏻💞
Ryan is right on. We live in a twisted political world where the most skilled or qualified person doesn’t always get the job or position. Instead, is looked upon as a threat by their superiors. By superiors I mean people up in the food chain, who are trying to keep their positions.
This is definitely one of the best conversations here.
Tom Bilyeu and Ryan Holiday have a great chemistry
Love, love these conversations! Ryan you are brilliant, thank you for bring history back to the present so we can learn from it. Tom, this conversation right here is why I love love tuning in to you every time. Your curiosity, your humbleness, your eagerness to learn is so exciting to see and has the same effect on us! In case you ever forget why you are doing this or how important your role is!
This was the best episode ever. I am still deeply digesting 🙏🙏🙏
INCREDIBLE
Thank you Tom

There is a lot of power in that mindset. Imagine _not_ being pushed and pulled around by your moods and feelings. That is a whole other level of possibilities and productivity if you choose to
this is one of the toughest interviews if have ever seen in entire social media or live including IT. I have got a copy of this book yesterday. Lucky enough to have an opportunity to see this episode. Thank you Tom and Ryan for such great insight.

Love you both thanks for wisdomness 🙏🏼🧚🏼♂️

Ryan was going to expound more on his Stoic reasoning for cold showers. Unfortunately they went off subject. I loved the idea of you having control to take the easy path or the hard path. Starting with something as simple as a cold shower. Bummer it wasn’t talked about more. I know I could watch a thousand videos about cold showers but he put a cool spin on it, would’ve liked to hear the rest.

Fortune favors the brave.
The Stoic virtues of wisdom, courage, justice, and self-discipline can provide a framework for achieving greatness by guiding individuals towards making ethical and rational decisions, developing resilience in the face of adversity, treating others with fairness and compassion, and cultivating a sense of inner strength and purpose. Practicing these virtues can help individuals to achieve their full potential and make a positive impact in the world.
Tom, you are my hero by inviting so many other heroes to your show! Thank you! I resonate so much with both you and Ryan in this episode. Bring him back more please!
At 52.00 minutes, or thereabout, Tom and Ryan discuss the issue of when to know whether you're being reckless vs. brave...when hesitating can be a genuine consideration for the high stakes risk you're thinking about making or whether the hesitation is based on fear and survival-based intuition. At that point, I remembered something Tom said in one of his Q&A rant-type videos where he says, that a moment of fear or hesitation is evidence of stakes. That we should go in the direction of where the stakes are high simply because stakes are evidence of meaning and what matters to you. I can't exactly remember the phrasing he used but ultimately it highlighted this:- the fact that this decision is bothering you so much, or like Ryan described 'if it wasn't as high stakes you wouldn't have this much hesitation', means that there is something to actually doing this thing, otherwise you'd just basically just choose the thing that ensures your basic survival.
Right-! I agree-!

One way to create a habit for a better life is creating a morning ritual.
Maybe you like to go for a run. Or, maybe you like to meditate or enjoy a healthy breakfast. Whatever it is that makes you feel supercharged, kickstart your day with that habit. Establishing a meaningful morning ritual helps you start your day on a positive, proactive note. Having a structured start to your day instead of rushing to make up for the lost time also helps eliminate stress, mental fatigue and enhances your productivity. Don’t know where to begin? Check out the morning rituals of some of the most successful people to get some inspiration!

I wish you asked Ryan his thoughts on the vaccine mandates, restrictions, shut downs etc. Especially in relation to Australia and Europe.
100 percent, a lot of people don't know Ryan is part of the mob
@@AJ-dc2fj I would not have guessed, given his views on self autonomy and all the Socratic values he espouses. You would assume he would be against it (and Tom as well)
@@AberrantArt i know, it is extremely disappointing. it's completely at odds with his (apparent?) life mission. i feel it's our duty to let ppl know who is influencing them, this guy needs to either admit is err or lose business period

Here’s a man with true courage. You can see our racial past for what it iwas and is without guilt as long as we are all putting a stop to injustices; shoving it under the rug and tell descendants they’re crazy.
That means, equal pay for equal qualifications and work. But it has to start at the individual level. Institutions or groups of people won’t do it. They will hide and blame the victim. The ask for change will get stalled for decades if we don’t take individual responsibilities. People like this writer gives me hope in American’s humanity.

Virtues are for balance.
Majority of the population strives for survival, wealthy in pursuit of pleasure or gratification, so virtues doesn't matter to most of the population. A miniscule percentage of people has the code or virtues in life, they are unnoticed and unsung. Precious things are not valued during the lifetime. Truth is never celebrated.
