A Must For All Looking To Make Themselves Better

This is a must listen to podcast if you're on the path to wisdom. Ryan takes ancient philosophy and presents it in such a way that it is accessible to modern people of all education levels. Do the work to make yourself better. Sure, there are ads but everyone has to eat, if you can't sit through a few minutes of ads, perhaps you should learn more patience, in which case listen to the podcast, it'll help.

Part of my morning ritual

I enjoy the message and the thoughts it leaves me with. I have been listening for a little over a month. I don’t do everything he suggests but I do get a lot from Stoicism and the practice. This is a great thing to add to your daily practice.

I am not a journal guy at all, but I do start and end my day with a review.
