Ryan Holiday has revitalized the ancient philosophy of Stoicism, emphasizing the virtues of courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom to promote self-control and equanimity.
Holiday's interpretation of Stoicism suggests that wealth should not matter, yet its appeal to the wealthy, including celebrities and Silicon Valley figures, highlights the irony of this philosophy.
Stoicism's relevance transcends socioeconomic status, demonstrated by its historical figures: Epicetus, a slave, and Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor, opposing the notion of accessibility.
In his 'Daily Stoic' videos, Holiday encourages living as if life is short, urging people to prioritize relationships and actions, inspired by the teachings of Marcus Aurelius.
