Sit Down With Walter Isaacson and Ryan Holiday
In today's episode, Ryan Holiday sits down with legendary biographer Walter Isaacson for a wide-ranging, deeply thoughtful conversation recorded live at the Texas Tribune Festival. They talk about Walker Percy and The Moviegoer, how Stoicism shows up in fiction, and why the ancient virtues still matter in the modern world. They talk through Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Viktor Frankl, and why history tends to outlast the noise of the present moment. đ Grab signed copies of Walter Isaacson's books at The Painted Porch: https://www.thepaintedporch.com/ Elon Musk by Walter IsaacsonSteve Jobs by Walter IsaacsonLeonardo Da Vinci by Walter IsaacsonBenjamin Franklin: An American Life by Walter IsaacsonEinstein: His Life and Universe by Walter IsaacsonThe Greatest Sentence Ever Written by Walter IsaacsonWalter Isaacson: The Genius Biographies: Benjamin Franklin, Einstein, Steve Jobs, and Leonardo Da Vinci (Boxed Set) đ This holiday season, give the gift of Daily Stoic Premium | https://dailystoic.supercast.com/gifts/new đ  The Daily Stoic New Year New You challenge begins January 1, 2026.
