“Beginning in 2023 I found The Daily Stoic to be a refreshingly informative and helpful podcast while making my morning commute. It helped me reframe my thinking and improve my interpersonal thoughts, reactions and emotions. After finishing all the archived episodes, I began listening to Ryan...”Read full review »

“I really love the host and appreciate him sharing the wisdom of stoicism. However, I wish this podcast had more consistent structure. I listened to one show that was promoting a book - I thought it was going to be an interview with the author, instead it was 4 minutes of ads, a brief description...”Read full review »

“This is a long interview. But, when Ryan finally starts asking questions and listening to Adm. Mcraven, about 40 minutes in, it is outstanding. I wish Ryan would talk a little less and listen more while interviewing- but I think he talks a lot because he’s excited and passionate. For those that...”Read full review »

“I’ve searched for a long time for something that would help me stop overthinking the things in my life that don’t matter.
Why spend so much time worrying what others think, why fixate on how others have wronged me, why do I regret my reflexive and emotional reactions to events when I’ve had a...”Read full review »

I appreciate both the long-form book and bite-sized newsletter formats, and the podcast adds extra dimensionality to...”Read full review »

“Not only does this give bad and often dangerous mental health advice, it boils down to “buy my books”. For example, in one recent 3 minute episode, there are two full plugs to purchase his products and little else.”

“The content is great and so beneficial but, maybe it’s because I live in the UK, or I don’t watch TV anymore, but the amount of adverts and endorsements is getting way too much.

“5 min ads in every 10 min podcast. Info is good usually, but presentation is sometimes sloppy and lacks coherence.

This one also had an irritating beat playing in the...”Read full review »

“I found this podcast after listening to Meditations. I really enjoy the interviews. The short episodes that have an equal amount of ads, not so much. I skip those now. I read, “Loving What Is,” a couple years before listening to Meditations and Byron Katie’s work is a way to stoicism.”
