Stoicism 101: Ancient Philosophy For Your Actual Life

This is the latest recorded version from 2024.

“‘How much progress shall I make?’ you ask. Just as much as you try to make. Why do you wait? Wisdom comes haphazard to no man.” - Seneca

What is Stoicism? Who were the Stoics? Why have some of history’s greatest leaders practiced Stoicism in their daily lives? How can I consistently apply Stoicism to my life?

If you’re thinking any of those things, you’ve come to the right place. We set up Stoicism 101: Ancient Philosophy For Your Actual Life to give you the absolute best of Stoicism, from the best teacher, in just 14 days. 

Stoicism is a philosophy designed for the real world, to solve real problems. It’s created to make us better people, better parents and better professionals. It comes from great thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca.

There’s a reason everyone from George Washington to Tom Brady to Anna Kendrick to John Steinbeck have read, studied, quoted, and admired the Stoics.

It’s because Stoicism is meant to solve actual problems. A tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom. A way to live a great life, rather than some esoteric field of academic inquiry.

Wisdom, learning, studying, Seneca says, do not fall upon us by chance. “‘How much progress shall I make?’ you ask. Just as much as you try to make. Why do you wait? Wisdom comes haphazard to no man.”

That’s why we created Stoicism 101: Ancient Philosophy For Your Actual Life! 

Stoicism 101: Ancient Philosophy For Your Actual Life is a 14 day course designed to teach you what you do not yet know. Whether you’re a beginner at Stoicism or you’ve been studying it for years, there is something to be gained by getting up and going to “school”—because learning, as Marcus said, is a good thing. And to do that, we’re doing something we haven’t done with any of our past courses. 

Ryan Holiday—author of The Daily Stoic, Lives of the Stoics, and The Obstacle is the Way, to name a few of his bestselling books—will be your instructor. He’s taught Stoicism in NFL locker rooms, Fortune 500 boardrooms, in front of TED audiences, and to millions of people with his books. And NOW he’ll be your personal teacher for the next 14 days. 

In 14 custom emails delivered daily (~20,000 words of exclusive content), you’ll also learn about:

• The famous Stoics.
