Ryan HolidayHOST
Welcome to The Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world.
Ryan HolidayHOST
So there's probably nobody I've talked to about stoicism more than Steve Hanselman.
Ryan HolidayHOST
Steve Hanselman has been my agent since 2011, if you can believe that.
Ryan HolidayHOST
We met at a conference in Napa, California.
Ryan HolidayHOST
He's Tim Ferriss' agent as well, and, um, I had this idea for a media book, and we got connected, and that book came out in 2012.
Ryan HolidayHOST
And so obviously, this working relationship has been quite fruitful, but he is someone I call and talk about stoicism all the time, and he's taught me about it.
Ryan HolidayHOST
I've taught him.
Ryan HolidayHOST
It's been a, a wonderful, lovely partnership, and it, it cued up an episode I've been meaning to have for a long time on the show, which is Steve Hanselman and I nerding out about Stoic philosophy and this process of working on and reworking the book.
Ryan HolidayHOST
So usually a- an anniversary edition of a book means putting a new forward in front of the old book.
Ryan HolidayHOST
I didn't wanna do that.
Ryan HolidayHOST
So, so Steve Hanselmann, my co-writer and translator, we sat down and, and went through it page by page and, and basically thought like, "If we were doing the book again today, knowing what we know now, how would we make it better?" And that's what the 10-year anniversary edition of The Daily Stoic is.
Ryan HolidayHOST
And today you can finally get it.
Ryan HolidayHOST
It's got 60 new translations, bunch of new and improved stories.
Ryan HolidayHOST
Marcus Aurelius's Meditations 848.
Ryan HolidayHOST
And I'm reading to you today from The Daily Stoic 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by yours truly, my co-author and translator, Stephen Hanselman.
Ryan HolidayHOST
You can get signed copies, by the way, in the Daily Stoic store.
Ryan HolidayHOST
But let's get on with today's reading.
John SellarsGUEST
There was a book by a chap called William Irving called A Guide to a Good Life, which was, I think, the first sort of breakthrough text aimed at a popular audience that presented some of these ideas.
John SellarsGUEST
And then a few years later, there was a book by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman called The Daily Stoic.
John SellarsGUEST
And Ryan Holiday in particular had a background in marketing and had a very effective sort of social media, YouTube campaign, and that really put this on the map.
John SellarsGUEST
And that book sold literally millions of copies.
