I just saw this talk with Brian Rose and Ryan Holiday on London Real (Yes, another video from London Real. I'm a fan ;)).

I enjoyed it. Ryan talked about his mentorship with Robert Greene, marketing, Stoicism, college (dropping out), etc.

Q/A 1.

Brian: "If you could make a phone call...(usually to a 20 y/o)...and you could give that man a bit of advice. What would you tell him?"

Ryan: "Relax, like just chill the f*** out..."


Q/A 2.

Brian: "Best advice you've ever received, personal or business?"

Ryan: "...Here's you're job as a human being. Do what you love to do, be a good person. That's it."


Well I keep telling myself that I am going to read a book on Stoicism and started "Meditations" several times but never completed it. It's currently on hold for me at my local library (an article Ryan wrote pushed me to get a library card, he was opposed to libraries though lol) so once I get it, I'll read it for sure. Has anyone here read a book on Stoicism? Has it helped you out?

PS:

This quote ... I'm not even sure I understand it 100%. Any ideas?

"A rock thrown in the air. It loses nothing by coming down, gained nothing by going up." Marcus Aurelius

PPS: Here is the video:
