Ryan Holiday (The Daily Stoic) joins Rainn Wilson to connect Stoicism’s deepest roots to spirituality, from the Logos and justice to the common good and service. They explore how ancient practice becomes modern medicine for anxiety, purpose, and resilience, and why journaling and radical acceptance still work.

So excited to see Ryan Holiday speak about the spirituality of Stoicism!

I’m actually studying Philosophy as a graduate student. Today I find the Stoics to be an indispensable part of what is commonly understood as the story of philosophy.

And I would not be of that mind if it was not for having worked through the Daily Stoic Journal.

Thus, I’m very grateful for what Ryan H has done for us!

I love this crossover! Ryan and his books have helped me immensely over the years. Great conversation!

Loved this conversation! It is neat to consider the interface between Stoicism and spirituality – which we don't often hear about – and to feel validated in my intuition about the Logos, being equivalent to the Word, being also an approximation to the Tao. I think you're right, all of these great spiritual traditions and schools of thought in antiquity, tho vastly different on the surface, are all trying to describe and understand the very same underlying universal Truth.

Two of my favorites ❤ You both serve as distant father figures to me as my father has been gone from this world for some time now. I deeply appreciate the work you do with yourself and others that gives me masculine guidance I will always seek.
