Caffeine Stream 33: Ryan Holiday and the Philosophy of Stoicism
Today we take a critical look at one of the most prominent teachers of philosophy: Ryan Holiday. Famous for his book "Trust Me, I'm Lying," Holiday transitioned from a life of self-described "media manipulation" to a life of philosophy and stoicism... or did he?
We go over some of the features and characteristics of Holiday's life and work, including his interpretation of Stoicism. And in the end, turn our sights on Stoicism itself, ultimately asking not whether or not it is a good philosophy, but is it a philosophy at all?
You can read Ryan Holiday's letters to his father (mentioned in the episode):
- 2016 - https://ryanholiday.net/dear-dad-dont-vote-donald-trump/
- 2020 - https://ryanholiday.net/letter/
For all the critical comments, I still encourage looking at Holiday's work for yourself, which can be found on his YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic
as well as in his books.
Leave a rating and review, it really helps others to find the podcast.
