Canon

Galloway: young men who focus on systemic unfairness (real though it is) become paralyzed. The Stoic move: acknowledge the system is broken, then focus entirely on what you can control within it.
Galloway repeatedly emphasizes that exercise is the single most important habit for young men — it improves mood, confidence, discipline, and health simultaneously. 'The ROI on exercise is infinite.'
