About this episode
In this Mere Mortals Learnings episode, I unpack the raw insights from Right Thing, Right Now by Ryan Holiday. This book, focused on the Stoic virtue of justice, might not be his most thrilling but it’s undoubtedly the one that digs the deepest. From power and personal responsibility to kindness and selfishness, these lessons challenge you to live with purpose and integrity, especially when no one is watching.00:00 – Intro: What This Episode Covers00:34 – Ryan’s Style: Stories Over Theory01:33 – Take Responsibility (and Ask Better Questions)03:18 – It's Your Turn to Make the Fire04:22 – Be an Open Book: Secrets, Shame, & Integrity05:23 – Treat People Right When It’s Hard06:26 – Realise Your Potential: Do Your Best, Become Who You Should Be07:48 – See Every Person as an Opportunity for Kindness08:16 – Power: What You Do When You Can Do Anything09:18 – Gandhi’s 7 Blunders of Humanity10:05 – Afterword Reflections: Wisdom Comes With Age11:12 – The Hidden Cost of Success12:10 – Final Reflections & Justice in the Real WorldConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast
