For the past several years, we've been exploring each of the Stoic Virtues through the Stoic Virtues series—those timeless keys of courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom that guide us to living our best lives.
With the upcoming release of Wisdom Takes Work, the much-anticipated final installment in the series, we wanted to create something truly extraordinary for our most dedicated readers…
The publisher has confirmed that these extremely limited collector's sets are a one-time production—once they're gone, this unique collection will never be available again.
We can use this as an opportunity. We can learn from it. We can grow from it. We can take the sting out of it—if not for ourselves, than for others. In fact, that's one of the most powerful ways we transform bad into good, for others and those who come after us.
"Odysseus doesn't do this. He's stouthearted. He's intense. He never gives up. He's always looking for a way forward. He's willing to put up with setbacks that last for years. And even when he's retreating, even when he's blown wildly off course, there's always the final direction that he's never losing sight of. That determination, that perseverance—that's what The Odyssey is about. And, ultimately, that's what Stoicism is about."
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with astronaut Terry Virts about his latest book, How to Astronaut, the effects of seeing Earth from space, and supporting your dreams at all times:
"Whatever dream you have, don't tell yourself no. If you want to be a doctor, there's a lot of work—you've got go to college and get good grades and do all these things. But the very first step—that a lot of people don't do—is to not tell yourself no. That's the most important step."

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
"Surround yourself with the subpar and you can't blame anyone for thinking you are too. Surround yourself with the best, and the best rubs off."
A disciplined life allows time for enjoyment—but demands readiness the next day. ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink was built for that balance.
Engineered by scientists, it breaks down acetaldehyde, a byproduct of alcohol that can leave you feeling off. Drink one before your first drink, and wake up prepared to meet the day with clarity.
Because stoicism isn't about avoidance—it's about control.
