An invitation to Ryan's LIVE Epictetus Q&A on August 27—when you purchase the guide before August 26
This week on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday explores the life and teachings of Epictetus, a former slave who became one of history's most influential philosophers by mastering his own mind and proving that true freedom is an internal state of being.
It's easy to judge people from a distance. It's much harder to reduce them to a stereotype once you've sat with them, listened to their story, and tried to understand how they see the world. In this episode, Ryan talks with filmmaker, traveler, and author Peter Santenello about what he has learned from meeting people across America.

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
The bite of a six-foot lemon shark has been calculated at seven tons per square inch. The great white, at nearly twenty feet, three thousand pounds, will not submit to dental examination and will not accept confinement … All that is known about the jaw power of the great white is that it must be immeasurably stronger than a small lemon shark’s.
Life is hard. Setbacks, uncertainty, and challenges are inevitable, but resilience is a skill you can build.
Books like Resilient by Rick Hanson, Educated by Tara Westover, and Do Hard Things by Steve Magness offer powerful lessons on overcoming adversity and growing stronger through it.
Shortform helps you put those lessons into practice. More than book summaries, Shortform's in-depth reading guides explain key ideas, connect insights across books, and include actionable exercises so you can apply what you learn to your own life.
