    Men Are Reading Less Fiction. That’s A Problem. | Steven Pressfield

    Men may be looking for answers in all the wrong books.  In this episode, Ryan is joined by bestselling author Steven Pressfield to talk about how great fiction can teach us about courage, honor, sacrifice, and the human experience in ways that facts and advice often cannot. Steven Pressfield is an American author of historical fiction, non-fiction, and screenplays. Steven wrote for 27 years before he got his first novel published. During that time he worked 21 different jobs in eleven states. Steven taught school, drove tractor-trailers, worked in advertising and as a screenwriter in Hollywood. He worked on offshore oil rigs, and picked fruit as a migrant worker.  You can follow him on Instagram: @steven_pressfield and check out more of his work on his website: https://stevenpressfield.com/ 📚 You can grab signed copies of Steven’s books at The Painted Porch: Turning ProThe Daily PressfieldPut Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants To BeThe War of ArtThe Warrior EthosA Man At ArmsGates of Fire The Arcadian 🎟️ DAILY STOIC LIVE | Ryan Holiday is coming to a city near you! Grab tickets here |  https://www.dailystoiclive.com/ 🎙️ AD-FREE | Support the podcast and go deeper into Stoicism by subscribing to The Daily Stoic Premium - unlock ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content: https://dailystoic.supercast.com/ ✉️ FREE STOIC WISDOM | Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
