Yup you aren't wrong. But there is a HUGE cottage industry around this sort of thing, be it self help books or other forms. I don't have exact figures but I'm under the impression Ryan has made a LOT of money off using the angle of stoicism/The Obstacle is the Way (he even has a book titled this) to offer the idea of inspiration for those who want it but can't seem to find it. Does it actually work for people? Hell if I know, and the industry that has any hope of gathering that data doesn't want to know because if the answer is no and it gets out their entire money engine dies.
