    Ryan, consider writing a book about Stoicism for children and for teenagers. I wish I had learned to use Stoicism as a child, and I know a teenager that could use it now.

    Very ambitious trying to summarize this book in 4 1/2 minutes. Ryan just barely scratches the surface here. If you haven't read it yet, I strongly recommend it. It will give you a lot to think about. No hacks, system or 'ten tips' lists here but very powerful thoughts and compelling stories to illustrate the ideas. If you put in some brain work and reflect while reading, it could change your life.

    I love how Ego is the enemy is a book that you can come back to every single time. There are so many moments in the book that are not replicable in a youtube video. I congratulate you for being as humble as trying to state in this video that the lessons that you go through by reading it can be big pictured in this 5 mins. They can't, Ego is the enemy is an experience that hits you differently depending on where you are. The same applies for the whole trilogy. What a blast.

    Stoicism ties in so nicely with so many other philosophies and ideas. This reminds me of the psychology surrounding the idea of self-actualisation (was it Maslow?) - one of the important pre-requisites to realising the most perfect and accomplished versions of yourself is to constantly try and view life through a ‘child’s eyes’. Be open minded and continually ready to learn new things. Great video!

    Ego is a terrified child, crying out for help / attention / love. Yes it is vying for control of your attention, behavior, time, energy, and for most of us ruins or limits our experience of life. That said it’s not our enemy. Resisting and fighting it only strengthens it’s psychological grip on our spirits / higher selves. It must be healed with loving awareness, compassion, and light heartedness.
