Ryan Holiday is fantastic at condensing large and seemingly surface-level ideas such as "Seek Relationships" or "Control Your Anger" and expanding upon them in a way that truly makes you want to change those undesirable ways. In today's daily book quote episode, I break down an excerpt from Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday where he mentions bathing in beauty, looking at the world through the eyes of a poet, and letting earth's overwhelming presence nurture and replenish you. Stillness is the Key is a book highly inspired by Stoic philosophy so if you're looking for a way to enter that realm or expand your current knowledge, you should check out the book.  Free Weekly Newsletter (Click Me) The Book Basement Bulletin is a free weekly newsletter in which every Monday, readers receive book recommendations as well as three weekly useful tools or pieces of media that I have found throughout the week.
