Ryan’s concise and direct delivery is an easy way to cut through the clutter as my mind is waking up. It makes stoic principles easier to apply by “keep[ing] thoughts like these at hand”, and helps me stay focused on what’s truly important and what is within my control. I was recommended this podcast by my best friend; I have made my husband a fan as well. As far as the promotion and politics — let’s be real, he has to earn a living and also wants to spread the word of stoicism. It’s important as ever now with our chaotic landscape. I’ve felt Ryan has been pretty moderate in all the years I’ve listened and have been on both extremes on the political spectrum myself in that timeframe. It would be disingenuous as a philosopher if you can look away from pain inflicted on others and not use it as a living example on how to apply these principles. It only shows this philosophy system is relevant and timeless and gives weight to its practice. If you don’t agree, learn to be more open to others and others opinions. It is impossible to always agree with someone.
Thought Provoking!

If it’s not political, then don’t make it so

Your insight and wisdom was a refreshing addition to a broad listening landscape. Why ruin it with the comment about our administration?
Being a political hack isn’t stoic

Stoicism isn’t about being an angry political hack, which this guy clearly is.
