Stoic Lessons From The Odyssey w/ Ryan Holiday
Podcast: The Rich Roll PodcastPublished On: Mon Aug 03 2026
Description: Ryan Holiday is a bestselling author and a leading voice in modern Stoicism. This conversation explores Christopher Nolan's interpretation of Homer's Odyssey and the moral truths the poem was built to transmit. We discuss why interpretation is the assignment, the hubris Nolan left out, unreliable narrators, the sirens as confirmation bias, perseverance versus persistence, and many other topics. Odysseus, it turns out, is working the twelve steps. Ryan is a great mind. And the movie is a masterpiece. Enjoy!
