The Stoic Virtues Series by Ryan Holiday
Oprah is joined by bestselling author and Stoicism expert Ryan Holiday on her porch for a thought-provoking conversation about how the ancient philosophy of Stoicism can help us navigate modern life. Drawing from his bestselling book The Obstacle Is the Way, Ryan explains why this 3,000-year-old philosophy remains relevant today and how its timeless wisdom can help us respond with greater clarity, resilience and purpose to whatever life puts in our path. Ryan breaks down the four core virtues of Stoicism and the three essential Stoic disciplines offering practical tools for overcoming modern challenges. At the heart of the conversation is one of Stoicism’s most powerful teachings: We may not control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond. Oprah and Ryan are also joined by three listeners applying Stoic principles in powerful ways: an emergency room physician who relies on Stoicism to navigate medical tragedy, an entrepreneur rethinking her relationship to success and failure and a mother hoping to teach her tween daughter how to use Stoicism as a tool for resilience and emotional strength.
