The LIVE UPDATED course for 2025 starts Nov. 10th

Philosophy isn’t about big words. It’s not about impressing people at a university. For the Stoics, philosophy was about one thing: becoming a better person. A better parent, a better professional, a better human being. That’s what Stoicism is - and it’s why it’s still relevant 2,000 years later.

But the question is: how do you actually learn it? How do you make it part of your life?

That’s why I created Stoicism 101: Ancient Philosophy for Your Actual Life.

It’s a 14-day course where I’ll guide you - personally - through the core ideas of Stoicism.

Who the Stoics were. What they believed. How they built resilience.

How they handled stress, failure, and success.

And most importantly, how you can use their timeless wisdom in your own life, starting today.

I’m Ryan Holiday. I’ve written books like The Daily Stoic, The Obstacle is the Way, and Lives of the Stoics. I’ve had the privilege of teaching Stoicism to NFL locker rooms, to leaders at Fortune 500 companies, even to military units preparing for deployment.

But I didn’t learn this in school - I had to learn it the way the Stoics themselves did: through mentors, through practice, and through daily study.

That’s what Stoicism 101 is built to give you - not lectures or abstract theory, but a daily, practical way to learn and live the philosophy, the same way the Stoics approached it themselves.

Over 14 days in Stoicism 101, you’ll get:

  • Daily lessons from me in your inbox - more than 20,000 words of new material.
  • Two exclusive recorded Q&A sessions where I answer real questions about applying Stoicism.
  • A printable 14-day calendar to help you stay on track.

It’s like sitting down with me each day, walking through the greatest hits of Stoic philosophy, but with a focus on real-world application.

Seneca said, “How much progress shall I make? Just as much as you try to make. Why do you wait?”

Don’t wait any longer. Join me for Stoicism 101 and let’s begin this journey together.

I can’t wait to see you inside.

"The lessons about focusing on what’s in our control and letting go of the rest hit me so profoundly that I’ve started applying it to everything—work stress, family drama, even those chaotic days when nothing seems to go as planned. Now, when life throws me a curveball, I’m not spiraling; instead, I focus on what I can change, and the rest? That’s for the universe to figure out."
