Ryan Holiday Instagram - “It never ceases to amaze me: We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.” — Marcus Aurelius

The Stoics knew that each of us was born inherently unique. Well before an understanding of the science of DNA, they implicitly grasped that never before and never again will our combinations of genetics exist—that we are singular. And that one of the worst things a human being can do with this rarest of rarities is to give it up. To not be our singular selves.

BE YOU. Be the only one of you in the whole world. That’s where the fun is (you don’t have to fake anything). That’s where the value is (when we are like everyone else, we are replaceable—by definition). Embrace who you really are. Embrace what makes you unique. Embrace your weirdness. Because chances are it’s special.

Ryan Holiday Instagram - I’ve lived on a rural country road for many years. It’s unpaved and unmaintained by the county or the state, lined with trees, and more frequently crossed by deer and jack rabbits than people. It’s a throwback to an older, simpler way of life.

It’s also a throwback to a scene I’ve always remembered from Mad Men, where Don Draper and his family finish their picnic and then nonchalantly throw all their trash into the grass below.

My experience walking and running and biking and driving on this road has been to witness the return of that attitude. People dump tires and old mattresses. They dump debris from construction sites. They dump beer bottles and candy wrappers. They dump illegal deer kills and for some inexplicable and alarming reason, a lot of dead dogs.

At first, this just pissed me off — especially because the nails kept giving me flats. It made me angry at humanity and the place that I lived. I tried calling the police and animal control and my local politicians — of course, they did nothing. I put up cameras which did nothing. I despaired about the climate and the future. I thought about moving.

But then one morning on my walk with my kids, a thought hit me that was both freeing and indicting. How many times do I have to walk past this litter, I thought, before I am complicit in its existence. Even if I moved to a place where this didn’t happen, I thought, it would still be happening here. Marcus Aurelius was right when he said that you can also commit injustice by doing nothing.

So I started cleaning it up. The tires went into the back of my truck—and I paid to have them properly recycled. I tossed nails and screws into the trash. I’ve put on face masks and gloves to scoop up dead dogs, which I burned or took to the back of my ranch to decompose in a less disruptive place.

I can’t say the experience is pleasurable and it’s not exactly saving the world, but it is empowering.

I talk in my new book “Right Thing Right Now” (you can preorder it at the link in bio) that Justice is about starting small and doing what you can to save people from trouble or pain—and that these little things add up.

Ryan Holiday Instagram - I’m sorry…
Ryan Holiday Instagram - Total surprise. I told my publisher five years ago when I started the series that this one would be the toughest sell. I’ll take it as a sign of encouragement about the world that a book about justice could debut at #1 NYT. So grateful to everyone for the support. Also congratulations in advance to @jamesclear for reclaiming it next week, I’m sure :)

Ryan Holiday Instagram - I never have the right answer when people ask how many books I've written, so I took this picture to reference.

It’s been a good pretty good run since 2012!
Ryan Holiday Instagram - The Obstacle Is The Way.

From my conversation with @chriswillx on @modernwisdomlife
Ryan Holiday Instagram - It was a long flight to Australia but well worth it. I would have flown twice as long if that’s what it took to be able to swim in some of my favorite swimming pools in the world.

The Icebergs pool in Bondi was wonderful. The pools at Manly and South Curl were incredible, especially at golden hour. I even got a quick indoor swim in the Melbourne Public Baths.

Ryan Holiday - 7K Likes - “It never ceases to amaze me: We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.” — Marcus Aurelius

The Stoics knew that each of us was born inherently unique. Well before an understanding of the science of DNA, they implicitly grasped that never before and never again will our combinations of genetics exist—that we are singular. And that one of the worst things a human being can do with this rarest of rarities is to give it up. To not be our singular selves.

BE YOU. Be the only one of you in the whole world. That’s where the fun is (you don’t have to fake anything). That’s where the value is (when we are like everyone else, we are replaceable—by definition). Embrace who you really are. Embrace what makes you unique. Embrace your weirdness. Because chances are it’s special.

Ryan Holiday - 6.7K Likes - I’ve lived on a rural country road for many years. It’s unpaved and unmaintained by the county or the state, lined with trees, and more frequently crossed by deer and jack rabbits than people. It’s a throwback to an older, simpler way of life.

It’s also a throwback to a scene I’ve always remembered from Mad Men, where Don Draper and his family finish their picnic and then nonchalantly throw all their trash into the grass below.

My experience walking and running and biking and driving on this road has been to witness the return of that attitude. People dump tires and old mattresses. They dump debris from construction sites. They dump beer bottles and candy wrappers. They dump illegal deer kills and for some inexplicable and alarming reason, a lot of dead dogs.

At first, this just pissed me off — especially because the nails kept giving me flats. It made me angry at humanity and the place that I lived. I tried calling the police and animal control and my local politicians — of course, they did nothing. I put up cameras which did nothing. I despaired about the climate and the future. I thought about moving.

But then one morning on my walk with my kids, a thought hit me that was both freeing and indicting. How many times do I have to walk past this litter, I thought, before I am complicit in its existence. Even if I moved to a place where this didn’t happen, I thought, it would still be happening here. Marcus Aurelius was right when he said that you can also commit injustice by doing nothing.

So I started cleaning it up. The tires went into the back of my truck—and I paid to have them properly recycled. I tossed nails and screws into the trash. I’ve put on face masks and gloves to scoop up dead dogs, which I burned or took to the back of my ranch to decompose in a less disruptive place.

I can’t say the experience is pleasurable and it’s not exactly saving the world, but it is empowering.

I talk in my new book “Right Thing Right Now” (you can preorder it at the link in bio) that Justice is about starting small and doing what you can to save people from trouble or pain—and that these little things add up.

They dump beer bottles and candy wrappers. They dump illegal deer kills and for some inexplicable and alarming reason, a lot of dead dogs.

At first, this just pissed me off — especially because the nails kept giving me flats. It made me angry at humanity and the place that I lived. I tried calling the police and animal control and my local politicians — of course, they did nothing. I put up cameras which did nothing. I despaired about the climate and the future. I thought about moving.

But then one morning on my walk with my kids, a thought hit me that was both freeing and indicting. How many times do I have to walk past this litter, I thought, before I am complicit in its existence. Even if I moved to a place where this didn’t happen, I thought, it would still be happening here. Marcus Aurelius was right when he said that you can also commit injustice by doing nothing.

So I started cleaning it up. The tires went into the back of my truck—and I paid to have them properly recycled. I tossed nails and screws into the trash. I’ve put on face masks and gloves to scoop up dead dogs, which I burned or took to the back of my ranch to decompose in a less disruptive place.

I can’t say the experience is pleasurable and it’s not exactly saving the world, but it is empowering.

I talk in my new book “Right Thing Right Now” (you can preorder it at the link in bio) that Justice is about starting small and doing what you can to save people from trouble or pain—and that these little things add up.

Ryan Holiday - 5.6K Likes - @caseyneistat and I met when I was launching my first book on Stoicism. Ten years later we are still running together and I am celebrating the launch of the new book today by not thinking about it and doing the final edits on the ten year anniversary edition of Obstacle Is The Way. Also we are old and slow now.

Ryan Holiday - 5.4K Likes - The one rule to life.

This is core theme of my new book: “Right Thing, Right Now: Good Values. Good Character. Good Deeds.” I’ve actually got a whole chapter dedicated to it titled “You Just Have To Be Kind”.

The book comes out June 11th, but when you head to the link in bio you’ll receive exclusive preorder bonuses (available for a limited time). I hope you’ll check it out.

Ryan Holiday - 4.3K Likes - Total surprise. I told my publisher five years ago when I started the series that this one would be the toughest sell. I’ll take it as a sign of encouragement about the world that a book about justice could debut at #1 NYT. So grateful to everyone for the support. Also congratulations in advance to @jamesclear for reclaiming it next week, I’m sure :)

Ryan Holiday - 4.2K Likes - I never have the right answer when people ask how many books I've written, so I took this picture to reference.

It’s been a good pretty good run since 2012!

Ryan Holiday - 3.8K Likes - It was a long flight to Australia but well worth it. I would have flown twice as long if that’s what it took to be able to swim in some of my favorite swimming pools in the world.

The Icebergs pool in Bondi was wonderful. The pools at Manly and South Curl were incredible, especially at golden hour. I even got a quick indoor swim in the Melbourne Public Baths.
