wow this video is awesome.

Amazing video! We need more like this :) more organic

You may find the writings of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross interesting.

The guy talks about stillness and wear an Iwatch , with every second of incoming notifications. yeah dude , a guy talking about stillness should wear a plain ,silent Rolex watch

This is basically the metaphor of Fight Club. Your value isnt defined by the people or things around you.

LOLOL the easter egg at the end

Really great discussion/ Q+A! I have been dabbling in ideas of this realm for a while. I think its so wonderful to finally be seeing some resources out there that really put into words why Im focusing so hard on downsizing and doing less as a means to accomplishing more. (for my personal ideas of what that looks like at least) My brain is so much more at peace, and it makes all the other parts of my life more enjoyable and manageable.

Everything must be minimized

They texting multi dudes globally

Girls texting a lot ....

Concerntate and dedicate then get money get girls

But this philosophy is even older. In India, when you do Pranayama the breathing exercises that are part of Yoga, the silence and stillness are an integral part. Meditation is also one of these. Also, when you eat food, focus should be completely on the food. No other noise other than your mouth chewing the food, this has been completely forgotten.

Okay but what about the key to happiness in a normal world

4:42 wow ... almost all rings closed :-D

This is a brilliant conversation. I feel like I’ve found a very thought provoking gift in this channel. Thanks Matt for having these conversations.

Matt’s eyes pop in this lighting 💎

Enough isn't weak , it isn't settling , it's an extreme kind of power .
That's the best part of the video .

James Smith PT mentions this guys books a lot, think I will have to get a copy.

Matt you should be on tv, I'd defo watch this everyday. Oh wait, youtube exists nvm.

To date the hardest thing for me to do thus far in life is to "be still"

bring him back!!!!!!! on the ground up show

That is such a douchebaggery watch on the right hand

It is like no womans thought before, like all philosophs are men XD.

The finale with Diogenes, amazing!

Any good books for someone who hates the world and themselves? Based on the war of art, I feel intense resistance all day and cannot take action and hate myself because of the lack of action. Daily work and family requirements take up most of the time. I have so much I want to do and no time to get started. Every day is a repeating cycle of job, family time/chores, resistance, anger, repeat.

So two guys worth a lot of money telling us it doesn't matter if you have a lot of money....

Talking about Stillness while impatiently rolling a pen listening to the other person.

Nothing better than listening to 2 intelligent man talk

I feel lucky that at a very young age some how I was an admirer of intellectual people like the Great philosopher and I also would try to find the answers on my own to the questions I had about life on my own. My view of what is happiness has change through out the years and now at 54 years old I feel I know the answer. Great video Matt!

"I have young kids, so I don't need an alarm." I was always wanting to sleep in until forever when I was a kid, so I do NOT understand this. I'm talking even as a young child around 7 or before that, I liked sleeping in and staying up late. I was a night person, and night people usually have the night gene. So being a kid, does not mean you're going to wake up early.

Gracias Matt por el excelente trabajo que haces 👍

One of my children are definitely getting name Seneca

i love this whole thing! so much good content

I was with everything till he brought up slaves in a conversation about focusing on what you can control 🙃

Vs life in lockdown

Part of this video made me realise something. When you buy something, you should do so with the assumption that it won't aimpress anyone or be noticed, and see if you still want the thing.

Thank you for this video, i really love it.

Currently reading this book! Im so excited to have found this. But its 2am :( ill come back later 😃

*d'youknow what I mean*

Great interview. So much value. Thankyou.

I have watched too many hours of you just in bed....

15:31 I do gluten.

Matt can I know which camera you’re using ?

16:34 excuse me? Have more girlfriends? 🧐😛

Ikrr😂😂

Essentially what He is trying to convey to us it's to live in harmony with himself in it modern world.

Money may not make you happy but you have time to think about your happiness if you don't have to think about your money.

Very good interview!

This might be the best video I've ever watched on YouTube. Thanks Matt & Ryan.

We are taught from a young age that we need lots of money in order to be something. We should be taught what makes you happy go do that. Money makes life easier but it will never make you happy because as is said if money is your chase for happiness at what point do the numbers end where you feel fulfilled. Probably never right..

philosophy as a practice!!! I love that

Costantly comparing myself to others and feeling inferior and in pain for nearly 3 years and it has nearly ruined my life . I am watching this to see how to stop the pain .

i don't mean to be salty, but ok, i understand, stoicism, great key, but then again, why if world and society that is the source of all this disaster, keeps going blatantly at whim? c' mon.

oh wow i have Ryan's book, it's nice to see his face and hear him talk about his life :)

The key to happiness. I heard someone say, "Happiness comes from growing and giving." I've found this to be true over and over and over again.

Asking myself how Ryan is able to wear this massively distracting watch.

Awesome video! Thank you

Your content is spectacular.

Sporting of Ryan Holiday to sit so still at the very end... :)

This interview is such amazing content, it's the kick in the butt to head to Patreon and finally figure it out.

Physical work, fasting, storing up sexual energy, sun exposure, dancing, singing, prayer and stillness, was a part of day to day slavery life in america. It produced the best athletes, dancers and musicians the world has ever seen.
