Episode 3606: Ryan Holiday explores how anxiety, often invisible and normalized, drains our lives more than any luxury ever could. With wisdom from Stoic philosophers, he reframes anxiety as a habit we can unlearn, freeing ourselves to reclaim peace, presence, and perspective. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ryanholiday.net/this-is-my-most-expensive-habit/ Quotes to ponder: "Anxiety turns the hypothetical into the actual. It drags us into a future that doesn’t yet exist and forces us to live out every worst-case scenario in vivid detail." "Today, I escaped from anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions, not outside." "It’s not events that upset us but our opinions about them."

The real obstacle isn’t a lack of passion but fear, expectations, and misplaced priorities. Instead of endlessly searching, start doing what excites you, even if it doesn’t seem practical at first. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/screw-finding-your-passion Quotes to ponder: “If you have to look for what you’re passionate about, then you’re probably not passionate about it at all.” “The problem isn’t passion. It’s never passion. It’s priorities.” “A child does not walk onto a playground and say to herself, ‘How do I find fun?’ She just goes and has fun.” Learn more about your ad choices.
