AI Summary
5 min readIt has been 522 weeks—3,652 days, over 87,000 hours, more than five million minutes—since The Daily Stoic was first published. In that decade, the world has seen a pandemic, wars, political unrest, economic turmoil, natural disasters, and the rise of AI. In your own life, you may have gotten married, had children, moved, changed careers, lost or gained weight, quit or started habits, experienced successes you could not have imagined in 2016 and difficulties you could not have anticipated. And yet, as Ryan Holiday explains in this episode, we are still working on our tempers, still worrying about the future, still trying to figure out what is worth our time and attention, still needing reminders about what we control and what we do not. So much has changed. So little has changed.
