"Read his work to understand how to make sense of the challenges inherent in living a good life." As I read your work, I am applying the lessons you learned: What can I learn about the wisdom of the greats that can offer anchors in my today and tomorrow lived life?

Such great writing, besides the underlying message, Latham. Thank you for introducing me to Ryan Holiday (I know, which rock am I living under, right?)

Thank you Karena. I'm so grateful for your support and help as I have been learning to write. This ended up being a very personal piece - I think I curated myself as much as Ryan's work. I'm glad you like it

Great post Latham and you've inspired me to read smarter. I read a lot but I jump from book to book and don't sit with them long enough to absorb and action the lessons and wisdom within. I'm going to try stretching myself and reading above my level.

Thank you Robert. It was a ton of research but I really think it captures why I’ve been so inspired by Ryan in an honest and heartfelt way.
