Starting the day with this podcast keeps me grounded for the rest of the day. All too often, Ryan is that friend that tells me just what I needed to hear and I can’t thank him enough.

Thank you so much for your excellent podcasts. I have learnt so much from your excellent interviews.

Excellent listen. Inspired a good conversation with my kids about where their desires come from. Ordered the book to find out more. Cheers guys x

Fantastic podcast- as an entrepreneur my emotions are often very up and down. Learning from the daily stoic helps keep me calm, productive and focused on doing the right thing and what matters to the people I care for.

I have listened to this since the early days, and along with my personal practices of mediations and stoic affirmations, I would like to say how powerful and grounding this podcast is! Please keep shining, keep releasing and sending that beautiful light to us all ☀️❤️🙏🏼

Phenomenal bite size reminders to retain perspective, stillness and relinquish ego. Love it.

I always felt that these podcasts are quite problematic as they claim to teach Stoicism but contradict a lot of it. I wasn’t planning to rate the podcasts as I usually prefer to keep my thought to myself. However, when the speaker referred to people who give low ratings as ‘crazy’ and spoke about them as if they were abnormal for holding a different perspective, it kind of triggered me to write a review.

Apart from what I already mentioned, many episodes are literally bombarded with ads and references to a website where you gotta pay for everything to access it. Makes one wonder whether these people are actually Stoics or just profit seekers. It’s just problematic for me to get a protein bar ad in the middle of a Stoic podcast. I would expect it in a Sport podcast, not when talking about Stoicism though. Just my thought about the concept as a whole, I hold nothing against anyone at a personal level, so please don’t add me to your list of people you call crazy just because they gave a normal rating.

This podcast is now part of my daily routine and I love the wide variety of guests Ryan has in turned introduced me to. Thanks to all involved!

I don’t use Apple Podcast, I use Spotify. I had to download this app just to leave a review because it was the right thing to do.

This podcast provides a moment of philosophical coherence and moral clarity for a young man like myself.

Please keep it up. Keep making these episodes. You are saving lives.

Enjoyable, inspiring and humbling. I’d recommend to everyone and anyone looking for ways to live a better life.

Very riveting daily podcast teaching the stoic philosophy and explaining how we can apply it to our everyday lives.

Bit by bit, by narrating the lives of prominent stoic philosophers and describing various historical moments, it helped me get to the crux of stoic philosophy and ignited my interest to learn more.

Highly recommend!

Great listen and insight

Some of the virtues I proactive and value. However I stumbled on this site abs The Stoics.

Wow resonates with me so much and love Ryan’s approach to it. Thank you

This would deserve 5 stars for guests and content, but unfortunately the ads are just too much. It's one thing to have some sponsors at the start; I can even understand (though still dislike) having one in the middle. But fading out 4 times mid-conversation to plug ads is just so disruptive to the flow of the conversation and listening experience, I can't keep subscribing. There is other excellent podcast content out there with fewer ads that frustrate me less so I'm giving my time to those. Pity.

Ryan holidays introduced me to stoicism which is like heaven-send to me

I recently asked myself what it means to live the ‘good life’ and a week or so later, discovered Ryan Holiday and his podcasts/books. I have been listening to this podcast and reading a book he suggests, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. This seems to be the perfect answer to discovering what the good life is. Thank you so much for reviving stoicism. Anyone is search of a wholesome life will get a lot from this podcast! Thank you!

just listen

I always love to listen especially to the short daily podcasts, which help to set me up for my day. The longer ones I find more of a challenge to find the time.

I’ve been trying to make time to listen to this for months and today I found the time - today’s podcast was very apt. I’ll be listening from now on in

The Daily Stoic is my Daily Ritual.

Personally speaking (as hopefully one would want to speak) the Daily Stoic has aligned me and helped me gain clarity to live with purpose and in congruent with my highest values.

Listening daily and subscribing to the YouTube channel has created a non negotiable daily habit which in turn has become my daily ritual.

I feel more philosophical than I ever have. I’ve found answers to my own Christian faith and as I live my life, I am so aware in my practice towards the 4 Stoic Virtues.

Wisdom. Justice. Courage and Temperance

I cannot speak highly enough or articulate my inner dialogue for the worth I receive daily from The Daily Stoic and Ryan Holiday.

I will say however, that I’m fulfilled in the fact that I’m living on this earth at the same time of Ryan.

Fantastic podcast for preparing for life, reciting and repeating the stoic philosophy so that we can get stronger in it.

Loving this podcast and it’s mix of short and long episodes. It’s just what I’ve needed to boost my joie de vivre and be strong. Thank you

Timeless ! Love your work Ryan and everyone get Obstacles is the way

Ryan through Stoicism directed me to one of the fundamentals of happiness- know what’s in your control, your mind, and focus on that. Stop worrying about the rest. We all kinda know this but stoicism is living it. I do not agree with everything Ryan says or does but I am grateful for the wisdom and help he offers us all.

I’m really finding this podcast and Ryan’s book The Daily Stoic to be of great help to me in dealing with the loss of my partner. I’m sure you too will find something to challenge and support you in whatever your circumstances.

Powerful, insightful and wonderfully simplistic. An essential part of my daily routine to help me gain better perspective. Thank you.

Ryan your are a real inspiration. God bless you for your wisdom and courage. Look forward to what you’ll bring to is in 2021

Love the podcast. Very interesting, thoughtful and put together well....listen regularly to the daily updates although now getting very advertisement heavy . Pretty much find the interviews disdainful. Mostly a bunch of same old Type of people telling us how wonderful they are! Although Quite a problem with a lot of US podcasts now I find.

Ryan’s work has been an incredible inspiration to me, both personally and in my professional life. Ryan has made the wisdom of the ancients applicable to our lives today. Essential inspiration for action.

Become quite a fan. Since losing our land to a flood, becoming displaced and dispossessed and made homeless through flooding and the pandemic I found stoicism. Unsurprisingly it fits my life well. Experienced in recovery programme methods and CBT this provided an extension to my philosophy and then some... I’m on a journey, meditation, minimalist, stoicism, Buddhism. Taking the benefits from all. In consuming Ryans material, books, podcasts, videos I have created this material as a foundation to my practice. Go read his material, some of it is very American and unfamiliar to a UK person, but substitute names and the message is perfect. Use his knowledge of bibliography as a curated list of other educational material. While going through a significant series of life events this has been a cornerstone and a strengthening tool beyond comparison.

Robert Greene and Ryan always have fascinating conversations. I’d love Robert to be a regular guest on the show. They both ‘annex every age to their own’ and yet keep it fresh and relevant.

Many a day I listen to the daily stoic and find the solution to that day’s anxiety or procrastination. Thank you

I really appreciate this podcast. I listen to it daily and it’s been a great resource in my everyday life. My only question is why there are no women featured in the weekend interviews. Stoicism is applicable to all so I’d love to hear some thoughts on Stoicism from the ladies. Keep up the good work and thank you.

This is the best source of easy to understand Stoic philosophy out there, reliable thoughtful & current.

Ryan and the team do an amazing job with every Stoic quote depicted from books and manage to lay it out in the easiest and understandable way for everyone to get. Highly appreciate it lads, thank you!

This podcast is the same as the book with being concise and still getting the point across to the end-user.

I listen all the time which I try to every day it is released. The same as read the labeled days page in the book.

Seriously going to pick up my infrequent journal and do as the daily stoic suggests, to write an afternoon and evening segment.

All I've don't thus far in my journal is rant and rave about something or another. But now you've changed my way of thinking. I know what I've been doing wrong all this time.

For that I am very much thankful! ✌️🏻🧔🏽

Really amazing

Thoroughly enjoying the podcast and continued reading of the Daily Stoic. Fantastically simple, accessible and enjoyable ways to gather real practical info to set up the day.

Thanks Ryan, keep up the great work.

Still reading the daily stoic daily, half doing the journal (I know, bad me) & The Obstacle Is The Way is superb!

This makes a great little addition & thank you for providing it.

A really easy and convenient way to get my daily dose of Stoic wisdom! Thanks Ryan!

Ryan Holiday, Author of the Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy reads short Stoic meditations to provide a daily dose of bite size wisdom to help you get the most out of this brief moment that is our life.

Well worth listening to
