This is Our Great Fortune | Ask DS

Would you rather be poor today or wealthy in Rome two thousand years ago? You have access and knowledge that Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and the most brilliant doctors of antiquity would have genuinely seen as magic. We are incredibly lucky. Ask DS: Has Ryan always had this perspective or did he have a day of enlightenment in terms of defining himself as a Stoic? Why did Ryan decide to focus on Stoicism and philosophy (career wise) instead of something else? How can we follow the Stoics but still maintain strong desires and passions in life? ✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
