PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: Admitting error is not a failure—it's a vindication of your methods and your pursuit of wisdom. We must constantly test what we think we know. Red-team our assumptions. Seek out people who can refute us. Go out of our way to go after the truth…wherever it leads us.
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:  In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares ten tips on becoming a better, stronger reader, beginning with re-reading your favorites: "The idea is that each time I go back to [an old book], the book is the same, but I am different. The world is different. And thus, we benefit by not just reading, but also rereading." Subscribe to Daily Stoic YouTube
PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:  In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with entrepreneur James Altucher on why podcasting might be doing more harm than good, what makes a medium "healthy" for creativity, and the most difficult skill to master when writing: "[Writing about history] is not that easy because you always have to have a unique take. If it's not unique, then no one should read your book….It's very much a cheat code to take these historical stories that have survived and use them, but to turn it into your own story is still a very difficult skill."

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING: "Seek awe and nature daily... show kindness; practise grace; eschew vanity; be bold; embrace friends, family, faith and doubt, imperfection and mess; and live deliberately." — Phosphorescence: A Memoir of Finding Joy When Your World Goes Dark by Julia Baird
