"In Meditations, we have Marcus Aurelius writing notes to himself about who he wanted to be, what he expected of himself. In Book X, he writes about how he never wants to be overheard complaining\\u2014not even to himself. In Book X, he talks about greeting death cheerfully, bravely, because what choice do we have?

But as we\\u2019ve said before, to talk about something is one thing, to do it is another. That\\u2019s what makes Marcus Aurelius so inspiring."

Ryan describes why Marcus stands out amongst the Stoics on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.
