Your Saturday Stoic Review — Week of Sept 15 - 21

Over the past several years, we've explored in the Stoic Virtues series each of the virtues—courage, temperance, justice, wisdom—and how to apply these ancient ideals in our modern world. With the upcoming release of Wisdom Takes Work, the fourth and final book of the series, we wanted to offer something special, something we've never done before… ​ ​A limited collector's edition of all four books, each personally signed and numbered by Ryan, and presented in a stunning set with a special title page (plus exclusive bonuses for preorders!). These collector's sets are extremely limited—and when they sell out, the publisher told us they will never be available again. ​ Don't miss this rare opportunity—visit dailystoic.com/stoicvirtues now to get your complete Stoic Virtues collector's set before it's too late! PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: Life is a thinking person's game. If you want to beat the strong, the rich, and the powerful…get smart. Better yet, get wise. Read the full meditation here: This Is How The Weak Beat The Strong YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: ​ In a recent video on the ​Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares the magic behind the habit of walking, beginning by discussing how it clears your mind for the day ahead: "In relationships, walks are magic. If you're a creative, walks are magic. Whatever you're dealing with, whatever you're going through, walks are magic. Seneca said that the mind must be given over to long, wandering walks or it'll break the that the hammer eventually breaks against the anvil. We go for walks, we get outside, we get moving, and we're amazed at the problems it solves."

So, my optimism is encouraged by looking back at these times….I really believe that history gives you that solace and hope, because we somehow managed to get through very hard times before all this."

I've faced other challenges and other seasons of doubt and despair, and I've come out the other side." — Master of Change: How to Excel When Everything Is Changing by Brad Stulberg ​SOCIAL MEDIA POST OF THE WEEK: *** Follow us on social ​​​​​ ​Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 906 Main Street #274, Bastrop, Texas 78602 ​info@dailystoic.com is not a monitored email
