Ep. 167_Right Thing, Right Time_Ryan Holiday


Listen Later

Welcome to today's episode where we feature Ryan Holiday's latest book - Right Thing, Right Now.

In "Discipline Is Destiny," Ryan Holiday advocates for a life guided by self-discipline, presenting a compelling argument rooted in Stoic philosophy. In this book, his Stoic Virtues series emphasizes the importance of doing what is right, even when it presents challenges. 

 Holiday challenges the modern notion that acting justly is optional, arguing that this misconception contributes to widespread dissatisfaction. In "Right Thing. Right Now.," Holiday draws from the lives of historical figures such as Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gandhi, and Frederick Douglass. Their examples of kindness, honesty, integrity, and loyalty serve as models for ethical living. Through these stories, readers discover the transformative power of adhering to a moral code and the pitfalls faced by those who lack a well-formed conscience.
