Courage is the idea that I can change things, whether it's this tiny situation or it's some globally complex situation.
In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer welcomes Ryan Holiday, a renowned author and modern Stoic thinker, to chat about fear, hope, and courage. The conversation kicks off with the well-known parable of the two wolves, which sets the stage for a deep dive into how our choices shape our lives. Ryan Holiday discusses the idea that courage isn't a one-time act but a series of decisions we make every day.
He argues that courage is essentially about taking risks, whether it's facing physical danger or risking social fallout. With stories ranging from historical figures to personal anecdotes, Ryan emphasises that we don't need to be fearless; we just need to start. Ryan's insights on courage are both enlightening and relatable. He touches on how fear often stands in the way of courage and how overcoming it requires a conscious effort to act despite it.
He also explores the four cardinal virtues—courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom—and explains how they can guide us towards a life well-lived. The episode isn't just a philosophical discourse; it's peppered with humour and real-life examples that make these complex ideas accessible to everyone. Ryan's tales of heroes, whistleblowers, and everyday acts of bravery remind us that courage is found in the most unexpected places—sometimes even in our own backyard.
As the episode wraps up, you're left pondering your own crossroads—will you choose comfort or courage? It's a question that resonates deeply and might just inspire you to take that leap of faith in your own life. So, if you're ready to feed your good wolf and explore what courage truly means, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
