This Is How You Release Your Anxiety | Quality Over Quantity

In this short meditation, Ryan Holiday invites listeners to honestly confront the cost of their anxiety — in happiness, presence, and peace of mind. The episode frames anxiety as self-created, a product of our judgments and attachments, and therefore within our power to release. The title’s second half, 'Quality Over Quantity,' reinforces the Stoic priority of focusing on what truly matters rather than wasting energy on the uncontrollable.
