Use These STOIC Virtues to Achieve GREATNESS | Ryan Holiday on Conversations with Tom
Maybe the person that risked their life to help a total stranger in a time of need comes to mind as being courageous. But courage manifests in many ways than not just the physical acts that we default to. Ryan Holiday joins Tom to discuss his new book, Courage Is Calling. He explains how courage is ongoing.It\u2019s about the moments and opportunities that are presented where you choose to act in courage, or you show up reckless without regard, or you choose the cowardly thing in that moment. Ryan unpacks having courage, acting in courage, and where it falls in the spectrum between being reckless and being a coward. Even the term coward seems harsh when you realize you may be guilty of acting cowardly at different points in your life. You\u2019ve chosen to \u201csave face\u201d and look after your personal safety and benefit at some point, and it\u2019s okay, we all have. Ryan further explains through his personal experiences that doing the courageous thing is not always self-evident, and that these moments will present themselves. This is a great jumping off point to exercise your courage muscle, do the heroic things and start living to a higher standard today.\xa0Order Ryan Holiday\u2019s new book, Courage Is Calling: https://amzn.to/3i0XRmD\xa0\n\nSHOW NOTES:\xa0\n0:00 | Introduction Ryan Holiday \n0:21 | Why Live by Virtues \n7:57 | Intuitive Nature of Courage \n13:08 | Put Yourself Out There \n19:28 | Inspired Cynical Ideas \n28:51 | Integrate Truth & Courage \n35:18 | Responsibility to Past Lessons \n41:29 | Middle of Reckless and Coward \n48:02 | Is It Reckless Or Cowardice? \n1:00:52 | Failing to be Courageous \n1:08:11 | Not Acting Courageous \n1:15:59 | Get More Courageous \n1:21:34 | Courageous is Contagious \n1:31:17 | Ryan\u2019s Heroes & Standards\xa0\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\xa0\nButcherBox: Sign up at ButcherBox.com/impact and get 2 lbs of ground beef FREE in every order for the life of your membership. \nSmileBrilliant: Go to smilebrilliant.com and use coupon code IMPACT \nCuriosityStream: Go to https://curiositystream.com/impact and use code IMPACT to save 25% off today, that\u2019s only $14.99 a year. \nHigherDOSE: Go to HigherDOSE.com/impact to save $75 on the Infrared Sauna Blanket or Infrared PEMF Mat. \nThryve: Get 70% off your at-home gut health test at trythryve.com/impact \nFour Sigmatic: Get up to 40% off + FREE Shipping on Mushroom Coffee bundles at Foursigmatic.com/IMPACT \nAthletic Greens: Go to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase! \n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
