Ryan Holiday loves to write. He has published several books within the past decade, including "The Obstacle Is the Way" and "Ego Is the Enemy". One of his more prominent pieces of work 'The Daily Stoic' was published in 2016 after our mutual connection Steve Hanselman began encouraging him to write a one-page-a-day philosophy book.

Two million copies translated into 30 languages later, 'The Daily Stoic' was a success. In addition...

I first brought him on in 2013 to talk about why not caring about what others think is a useful skill to have as a creator in any field (translation: he penned a LEGENDARY blog post called 'the subtle art of not giving a f*$k' - which went crazy viral and later inspired a best selling book by Mark Manson...).

Whether it's agreeing going to the South China Sea or to Sundance festival or the grocery store. 2. Devour popular culture. Examine the work of other artists, movies, books, magazines, the interwebs. 3. Take pictures of things. I photograph things I see in the world that inspire me and use them for reference. 4. Scribble ideas. On a notepad, ipad, or whatever. 5. Share your ideas with others. Better ideas often come from a conversation. Give and receive. It's...

The following is pulled from his 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I admit to have gleaned a few important morsels out of this book when a coach made me read it in college.
