Episode 3606:
Ryan Holiday explores how anxiety, often invisible and normalized, drains our lives more than any luxury ever could. With wisdom from Stoic philosophers, he reframes anxiety as a habit we can unlearn, freeing ourselves to reclaim peace, presence, and perspective.

Quotes to ponder:
"Anxiety turns the hypothetical into the actual. It drags us into a future that doesn’t yet exist and forces us to live out every worst-case scenario in vivid detail."
"Today, I escaped from anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions, not outside."
"It’s not events that upset us but our opinions about them."
