This book by Ryan Holiday came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Michael Phelps. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Why have history's greatest minds embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. Holiday and Hanselman off 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, to help you find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
“Daily stoic and ego is the enemy. You got a whole lot of Ryan Holiday on your bookshelf... I just got the daily stoic from my coach”— Michael Phelps
