While the Greek and Roman philosophy of Stoicism has been around
for millennia, author and media strategist Ryan Holiday is bringing
its teachings to a modern audience by way of his popular books and
his podcast, “The Daily Stoic.” He says ancient writings by the
likes of Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus resonate in times
that feel especially chaotic. Kara and Ryan talk about why young
men in particular seem drawn to Stoicism and what powerful figures
in the worlds of tech, MAGA politics, and the man-o-sphere get
wrong about its teachings. He tells Kara their actions frequently
run counter to Stoicism’s foundational tenet: our obligation and
responsibility to — and with — other people. Questions? Comments?
