Right Thing, Right Now: The Stoic Virtue We Avoid

In this Mere Mortals book review, I tackle Right Thing, Right Now by Ryan Holiday, the third in his Stoic Virtue series. It’s a slower, deeper, more reflective book centred on justice, the virtue that’s hardest to sell and hardest to live by. I share why this wasn’t my favourite read, but why it might be the most meaningful one for the long game of life.00:00 – Intro & Context on the Stoic Virtue Series  00:30 – Book Stats: Length, Release Date, Structure  01:13 – Theme of Justice & Ryan’s Intentions  02:00 – Why Justice Isn’t a Popular Topic  02:56 – How This Book Differs from Others in the Series  04:04 – Tone, Chapter Layout & Personal Reflections  04:39 – Breakdown of the 3 Sections: Me, We, All  05:18 – A Slower, More Reflective Reading Experience  06:24 – Ryan’s Personal Notes & Writing it for His Kids  07:12 – Why Justice Becomes More Important with Age  07:55 – Final Thoughts & Rating (7.5/10)  08:13 – Who This Book is For (and Not For)  09:01 – Recommendations & Legacy Focus  09:19 – Political Themes & Why Some Might Not Enjoy It  10:00 – Closing Comments & Call to Action  Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/Xs9DjsurFqTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast
