The Marcus Aurelius Quote Steven Pressfield Couldn’t Ignore

The Marcus Aurelius Quote Steven Pressfield Couldn’t Ignore

In today's episode, Ryan and Steven Pressfield discuss one of Marcus Aurelius’ most striking lines: “Life is warfare and a journey far from home.” What begins with the epigraph to Steven’s new novel The Arcadian turns into a conversation about the hero’s journey, the ideas we carry with us for decades, and reincarnation.
