BONUS | Ryan Holiday's Response to Ivanka Trump

Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world.

I mean, look, here's the thing.

She's totally right. That's exactly what Marcus Reel said. That's exactly what stoicism is about. She's just not living or acting in accordance with it in any way. If you did, you'd have an intervention with your dad, whose life would be dyed with his horrible, negative, mean bullying thoughts all the time.
