Pretty much everyone's career starts the same way: with grunt work. Not just the cliched fetching of coffee, but other lowly tasks: taking notes in meetings, preparing paperwork, scheduling, intensive research - even flat-out doing your bosses' work for them.
I recorded this clip in August of 2022 while writing my next book in the Stoic Virtue series: “Right Thing, Right Now”. The book comes out in June but we’re doing a bunch of preorder bonuses for whatever format you grab over at dailystoic.com/justice!
Work hard, take it seriously, embrace your ambition. And when you're not doing that, do something - whatever it happens to be - that taps into the part of you that makes you forget about all the rest of it.
Because we make ourselves deaf to feedback, because we overestimate our abilities, because we become consumed with ourselves, we end up subjecting ourselves not just to the inevitable stumbles or difficulties of life but catastrophic, painful failures.
Perfectionism rarely begets perfection or satisfaction - only disappointment.
Realism and self-honesty are the antidote to ego, hubris, and delusion.
The next book in @RyanHoliday's The Stoic Virtues Series—Right Thing, Right Now: Good Values. Good Character. Good Deeds. is available for preorder! Get yours here: dailystoic.com/justice This book is a powerful antidote to the moral failures of our modern age and a manual for…
A creative pursuit is a lot like a military operation. It takes discipline, foresight, research, strategy, and, if done right, ends in total victory.
We want to matter. We want to be important. We want to have freedom and power to pursue our creative work. We want respect from our peers and recognition for our accomplishments. Not out of vanity or selfishness, but of an earnest desire to fulfill our personal potential.
The great law of nature is that it never stops. There is no end.
We must be willing to roll the dice and lose. Prepare, at the end of the day, for none of it to work.
The great law of nature is that it never stops. There is no end.
The 10th anniversary of my book The Obstacle Is The Way is coming up this year. If you haven't read it or want a refresh, here's my summary of the book. Check out the limited edition leather-bound version of The Obstacle Is The Way here: dailystoic.com/obstacleleather
Don’t waste a second looking back at your expectations. Face forward, and face it with a smug little grin.
New episode with @cduhigg on The @dailystoic Podcast: "How To Be A Supercommunicator" Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/how…
The world might call you a pessimist. Who cares? It’s far better to seem like a downer than to be blindsided or caught off guard.
The path of least resistance is a terrible teacher.
It’s okay to be discouraged. It’s not okay to quit.
If you want momentum, you’ll have to create it yourself, right now, by getting up and getting started.

He was one of the most prolific artists of all time. In an interview in 1993, Cash talked about his process and how he'd increase the probability of being able to write a song:…
Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca the Younger...& Ryan Holiday of Bastrop, TX. @lrnlrsn on modern-day Stoicism: “Recognize that you can control your perception of a situation; act ethically; death is coming for you, so don’t waste your days on Instagram.” texasmonthly.com/arts-entertain…
For @TexasMonthly, I interrogated @RyanHoliday at his dreamy Bastrop bookstore (and sat at his dreamy Joan Didion table!!) to find out why everyone is a Stoic now texasmonthly.com/arts-entertain…
"One of the dangerous things that can happen when you succeed at doing something a lot of people told you was a bad idea…is that you stop listening when people tell you your ideas are bad." @RyanHoliday ryanholiday.net/2-years-of-les…
Obstacle is the way!! @inkyjohnson @RyanHoliday
“Failing to sound exactly like the person you want to sound like is a wonderful way to sound like yourself...You try to sound like who you want to sound like, and you just always end up sounding like you.” — John Mayer Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!
I once asked @RyanHoliday about his writing style. He credited his favorite writers. “The key is that no one has the same combination of influences,” he said. “It feels like me because I’m the only person to combine my interests in my way.”
Paul McCartney was asked if he has someone in mind when he writes songs.
Lesson: study and imitate the greats. Hunter S. Thompson famously typed out his favorite books, word by word. While he was once doing this, a friend asked, "What the fuck are you typing The Great Gatsby for? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.”
The simplicity of McCartney’s piano lesson made me think of “The Threshold Theory,” which holds that above a certain level, things like knowledge and skill do not really correlate With creativity. x.com/bpoppenheimer/…
The Genetic Studies of Genius is one of the most legendary studies in all of psychology. The longest-running study of its kind, it found a surprising relationship between intelligence and creative genius…
Paul McCartney can’t read or write music. An incredibly simple 113-second display of his creative genius:
"Whenever I want to write a big song, I can't...That's when I get writer's block—when I try to write a song to fill the entire galaxy...But if I write about something the size of a glass of water—a week later, I notice it's got the universe in it." — John Mayer
@nateliason has a great article on two kinds of people: • People who fill their work with time • People who fill their time with work Nat goes on to propose that a good goal is to get to a place where you don't think about Productivity—how to get more done in less time:
In his book, My Life With Charlie Brown, Charles Schulz writes about a question people would constantly ask him. They would visit him in his studio, see what he was working on, and ask, how far ahead do you work?
"It is great to find something you enjoy doing...Because whatever it is, if you like it and do it right, you will get paid to do it anyway." — Richard Feynman Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!
@RyanHoliday once told me, "the work has to be the win." “You control the effort," he says, "not the results." "So ultimately, you have to love doing it. You have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.”
Before he was a big-time comedian, Hasan Minhaj was asked if he thought he was going to become a big-time comedian:
Quentin Tarantino didn't go to film school. Instead, he obsessively studied his favorite filmmakers:
In the elimination game of the 1997 NBA Semifinals, Kobe Bryant shot 4 airballs late in the game. His team lost 98-93. He was asked about how he handled this humiliating season-ending performance:
“One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important.” — Bertrand Russell Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!
