The Daily Stoic

“We can hear this stuff, and the people who read your books will know this is a central idea in my new book, but I don't think people are connecting that to their health and behaviors. Since I spoke to Edith Eger, and your audience probably knows who she is, a 93-year-old lady, I thought, 'Wow, this really resonates with”

“Like I'm finishing, I'm on—basically, I've probably got like 10% left of the first draft of the fourth book in The Virtue series, and I'm much more comfortable.”

“So, so that I was never going to be in The Virtue books, but then I did realize, okay, if you're talking about virtue and you're making strong judgments—positive and negative—of other people, um, there can be an implication that you're somehow the master of these things.”

“Well, I have the luxury of getting to do a good chunk of my Stoic journaling in public. I wrote this book, 'The Daily Stoic', which was one page a day, and then I just kept going. So every day for eight years, I've published a Stoic meditation.”

“I remember writing for a long time, and in 2016 I started Daily Stoic with just a few thousand subscribers. Initially, I wanted to see what people thought and feel their sentiments.”

“What I was struck by and thinking about when I was reading your book is like what I got wrong or what I was talking about this sort of corruption of sort of money and attention flooding into journalism, but what’s interesting to me about where we are now is that in many cases, I guess I was overestimating the”

“There was that term like slacktivism, and I feel like that was around the time that you were writing your book, actually it was; I don’t think you hear it mentioned quite so much anymore.”

“I've read that this is your twelfth book; I've also read the previous eleven and bought 2,000 copies of them to give away. We tend to chase those expectations, thinking, 'Once we meet them, we'll be satisfied.'”

“For example, if I believe my book turned out well and I put all the effort in, that’s what I should focus on. A negative review from someone I don't know shouldn't determine the book's value if I wasn't targeting the criteria highlighted.”

“I think it's a similar theme in your book—just be the best version of yourself as possible.”

“One thing I advocate in my book is to always create a model that demonstrates what you're trying to say.”

“Receiving positive feedback on my book has made me realize how fleeting success can be.”

“Right; I remember my agent had the idea for Daily Stoic.”

“When I wrote The Daily Stoic eight years ago, I had this crazy idea that I would just keep it going. The book was 366 meditations, and I planned to write one more every single day and give it away for free as an email.”

“So I mean, do you believe that there are like vibes in this table that somehow translate when I wrote The Daily Stoic eight years ago? I had this crazy idea that I would just keep it going.”

“Then when I was reading your book and I was reading about your incident in the parking lot, I thought it was interesting.”

“Well, you're talking in your book about sort of the refueling in the air, and you just think about how stressful and high stakes that is.”

“I remember a Republican senator who had read some of my books and privately told me all these things about Trump.”

“When I wrote The Daily Stoic eight years ago, I had this crazy idea of continuing it after releasing 366 meditations, writing one more every single day and giving it away for free as an email.”

“When I wrote The Daily Stoic eight years ago, I had this crazy idea that I would just keep it going.”

“When I wrote The Daily Stoic eight years ago, I had this crazy idea that I would just keep it going. The book was 366 meditations, but I’d write one more every single day and I'd give it away for free as an email.”

“I like Ryan holiday like how he kind of breaks down what what he says I the daily stoics the 365 days I've been I've had that book for like four years and I still religiously especially in Camp for like 12 weeks out read every morning and just like it's [ __ ] it's good”

“When I wrote The Daily Stoic eight years ago, I had this crazy idea that I would just keep it going; the book was 366 meditations, but I’d write one more every single day and give it away for free as an email. I thought maybe a few people would sign up; I couldn't have even comprehended a future in”

“My agent went to Harvard Divinity School and did some translations for The Daily Stoic, so he was very supportive. He could sort of put his agent hat aside.”

“I wrote the book The Daily Stoic in 2015; it came out in 2016, but the month that came out—it was in August or October—I started The Daily Stoic website, and so I started with this daily email.”

“When I wrote The Daily Stoic, my editor asked me to remove cursing.”

“But I think 'The Obstacle Is The Way' had just come out, um, so would have been my first book about stoic philosophy and then 'The Daily Stoic' would have come out a little bit later than that.”

“This is—I can't wait, but I wish that I had gotten this tattoo after I started reading your books.”

“And I've been thinking about that reason I just wrote about this—I think for Daily Stoic, I don't know if it's coming, but I was thinking about how like one of the things that I felt during the early days of COVID was like that I had so much time; you know, the day suddenly felt so long, right?”

“When I wrote The Daily Stoic eight years ago, I had this crazy idea that I would keep it going. The book was originally 366 meditations, but I decided to write one more every single day and give it away for free as an email.”

“And thank you for giving me a copy of your book, 'The Daily Stoic,' which inspired me to write a book as well.”

“Because I did the book four years ago, one page a day, and then every day, for four years, I've done the email. And the other benefit for it is, I mean, I've written to these people every day for four years; that's amazing.”
