Break Out and Break Free

We live in the freest time in the freest places in the history of the world. Yet many of us feel far from free. We are slaves to vices and devices, to our schedules and our poor self-talk. We’re reactive. We look at the world through the lens of other people’s vision for success, often in things we have no interest in. We are chained down in a prison of our own making and it’s high time for us to break out, to break free.

But how? The answer comes from Marcus Aurelius and the fact that it came from such a busy man with so many obligations and responsibilities should not be forgotten:

If you seek tranquillity, do less. Or (more accurately) do what’s essential – what the logos of a social being requires, and in the requisite way. Which brings a double satisfaction: to do less, better.

Because most of what we say and do is not essential. If you can eliminate it, you‘ll have more time, and more tranquillity. Ask yourself at every moment, ‘Is this necessary?’

This, Marcus said, was the simple recipe for improvement, for happiness, for freedom. Simple, but of course, not easy. Which is why we’ve set up an awesome, transformative 21-day challenge to help you do less and do it better. The Daily Stoic Freedom Challenge will help you earn freedom from:

-Minor decisions

-Inner turmoil

-Bad habits

-Wasting time

-Complaining

-Distraction

-Grudges

-Smartphone addiction

We’re going to break down your days and rebuild them for freedom. To maximize your impact and bring you closer to living your best life.

“The challenge is the best investment I’ve made for myself so far this year.”

- Eric Hokanson. Past participant.

Participants will get:

✓ 21 Custom Challenges Delivered Daily (Over 25,000 words of all new original content)

✓ 21 Custom Video Messages From Bestselling Author Ryan Holiday

✓ Printable 21-Day Calendar With custom daily illustrations to track progress

✓ Group Slack Channel For Accountability and Community

✓ Day 21 Wrap-Up Live Webinar With Bestselling Author Ryan Holiday

So much of what we think we must do, so much of what we end up doing is not essential. We do it out of habit. We do it out of guilt. We do it out of laziness or we do it out of greedy ambition. And then we wonder why our performance suffers. We wonder why our heart isn’t really in it.

If you could do less inessential stuff, you’d be able to better do what is essential. The Daily Stoic Freedom Challenge will help you rip off the chains of obligation to things that are inessential and bring a sense of tranquility and purpose to your life. You’ll get a taste of that tranquillity that Marcus was talking about. A double satisfaction.
