You Fought The Wall and the Wall Won | When Self-Discipline Becomes a Vice

In this solo episode of The Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday reflects on two Stoic themes: the futility of fighting immovable obstacles and the danger of excessive self-discipline. Using the metaphor of a wall that cannot be beaten, he explores the wisdom of accepting what lies outside our control. The episode also examines how a virtue like self-discipline can become a vice when taken to an extreme, drawing on the Stoic emphasis on moderation and practical wisdom.
