This is What You Do With Your Freedom? | A Strong Soul Is Better Than Good Luck

Ryan Holiday reflects on how humanity, since Prometheus, has developed technology to free us from backbreaking labor, yet we often squander that freedom on trivial pursuits. He argues that a strong soul — cultivated through Stoic practice and virtuous action — is better than good luck, because external fortune is fleeting while inner character endures. The episode challenges listeners to use their freedom intentionally rather than wasting it on distractions.
