...that people are doing the best they can

Wisdom is the most elusive of the Stoic virtues, and that is why @RyanHoliday saved it for the last book in the Stoic virtue series. You can still get signed copies and original manuscript pages at dailystoic.om/wisdom

4 brutally honest reminders from Seneca:

1. Most suffering is self-inflicted
2. Stop putting things off
3. Stop acting like you’re going to live forever
4. Seek out challenges
