The Marcus Aurelius Quote Steven Pressfield Couldn’t Ignore

In today's episode, Ryan and Steven Pressfield (instagram.com/steven_pressfield/?hl=en) 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 (thepaintedporch.com/products/the-arcadian?_pos…) turns into a conversation about the hero’s journey, the ideas we carry with us for decades, and reincarnation.
