Podcast: The Daily Stoic
Episode: Ryan Holiday And Guy Raz On Using Stoicism To Improve Your Life
Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
The Obstacle Is the Way
Buy on Amazon"I wouldn't say that comes naturally to me, but it is something that I am working on. There's actually a book about this called 'The Obstacle Is the Way.' And it's great because the obstacle has been the way tonight."
The Obstacle Is the Way
Buy on Amazon"If you, I would not recommend writing a book called 'The Obstacle is the Way,' a book called 'Ego is the Enemy,' a book called 'Stillness is the Key,' a book called 'Courage is Calling,' or 'Discipline is Destiny.' Because then people expect you to be all those things, which is of course impossible."
Stillness Is the Key
Buy on Amazon"If you, I would not recommend writing a book called 'The Obstacle is the Way,' a book called 'Ego is the Enemy,' a book called 'Stillness is the Key,' a book called 'Courage is Calling,' or 'Discipline is Destiny.' Because then people expect you to be all those things, which is of course impossible."
Discipline Is Destiny
Buy on Amazon"If you, I would not recommend writing a book called 'The Obstacle is the Way,' a book called 'Ego is the Enemy,' a book called 'Stillness is the Key,' a book called 'Courage is Calling,' or 'Discipline is Destiny.' Because then people expect you to be all those things, which is of course impossible."
Trust Me, I'm Lying
Buy on Amazon"I didn't feel like I was getting robbed when I took less than half what I’ve gotten for Trust Me. I thought, 'I'm writing a book about an obscure school of ancient philosophy, that sounds really sound.'"
The Obstacle Is the Way
Buy on Amazon"I sat down to write it like 2, and it was actually really great to talk about 'The Obstacle's Way.' It was this perfect reminder of like this is why I don’t start my day at 2."
Discipline Is Destiny
Buy on Amazon"That’s why I open 'Discipline's Destiny' with the story of Lou Gehrig, who has the longest streak in the history of baseball until it’s broken by Cal Ripken."
The Laws of Human Nature
Buy on Amazon"Robert encapsulates something about human nature, which he also talks about in The Laws of Human Nature, which is that instead of accepting or realizing that things are the way they are, we'd rather deny and blame certain people for them."
Stillness Is the Key
Buy on Amazon"As a person who has found a lot of healing and recovery in the 12-step rooms, I was very surprised to see you write about it in both Stillness is the Key and Discipline is Destiny. So I'm curious as to how that came about or why you were inspired to do that because the only other one I found was Russell Brand's recovery book."

Trust Me, I'm Lying
Buy on Amazon"I probably rewrite Trust Me, I'm Lying just because I wrote that when I was so young, and also I've seen the legacy that that book has given you some good stuff over there or maybe I wouldn't publish it at all."
