Hey, it's Ryan.

So we were talking other Stoic-themed novels, and you only knew about Man in Full.

Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic Podcast.

I told you this that back in February, I had to fly to Hawaii to do a little chat with a lady named Oprah.

Yes.

There are many more.

Okay.

One of which I told Oprah about, because she loves your book.

That hasn't come out yet, but another honor happened to me on that trip, which is that I did a virtual talk to the team at the Irwin Army Community Hospital in Fort Riley, Kansas.

So obviously, one of the most famous probably stoic novel is Hamill's A Man in Full, which is very Epictetus-themed.

But have you read Walker Percy's The Moviegoer?

It was a group that included more than 150 health care staff members, both military and civilian providers, who all serve at that hospital.

No, so his character, Aunt Emily, is very stoic.

And before I hopped on the talk, I heard a bunch of them were listeners of the Daily Stoke podcast, which was really cool.

Let me find it, if I can find this.

So on today's episode, I wanted to bring you some of their questions.

He has this amazing passage.

Some of these are men and women in uniform questions.
