The Daily Stoic Meditations (Part 1.1: The Discipline of Perception-Clarity)

Updated as of:10/07/2022

Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman's The Daily Stoic has been part of my everyday morning routine since September 12, 2022. And for a deeper internalization on Stoicism and to contribute in restoring Stoicism to its rightful place as a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom, I decided to share my two cents about my learning and own experiences. (By the way, since I started at September, I just called the 'January' Part 1.1.)

After the section of my 'Favorite phrases and topics', and 'Overall Opinion', the videos related to my learning experience are attached consecutively. I do hope you enjoy learning alongside me and I would greatly appreciate any comments you may want to share too!
