Episode 3760:

Ryan Holiday explores the timeless virtue of sangfroid, the art of keeping calm under pressure, and how it has shaped the success of leaders, athletes, and creatives throughout history. By cultivating composure in moments of chaos, he shows how anyone can transform setbacks into strength and approach challenges with clarity and confidence.

Quotes to ponder:

"Anyone can be cool in the calm. Anyone can be disciplined when things are going well. But being calm and disciplined in chaos? That’s true coolness."

"This is what sangfroid means: cold blood. It’s the art of keeping your head while everyone else is losing theirs."

"The person who can keep their cool when others cannot is a force to be reckoned with."
