Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying continue to discuss the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

Ryan Holiday, bestselling author and author of Daily Stoic, discusses practical ways to find stillness and apply the insights of stoic philosophy in the midst of COVID-19 chaos. Ryan discusses the importance of taking back a feeling of control, the benefits of structure and routine, and the idea of being prepared for anything.

• Auditing how the world (and its leaders) are handling the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of stoic philosophy [44:15];
  
• Asserting control and using routine to find stillness in an environment not conducive for it [52:15];
  
• Why you should find a way to exercise, especially now [58:30];
