With the 500-word daily newsletter, that’s a little more than two books a year of free content delivered straight to email inboxes around the world every morning. We’ve essentially created the largest Stoic library in the world. Hundreds of hours of video on [the great Stoic works](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXPDIskRO0c&t=364s), [the rules the Stoics lived by](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heh5XLwZVOY&t=183s), [Stoic habits](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhYVdeXvLYg), [Stoic don’ts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8QWtNqQYlE&t=8s), and [Stoic questions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8QWtNqQYlE&t=8s) for a better life. Hundreds of thousands of words across articles on the Big 3 ([Marucs Aurelius](https://dailystoic.com/marcus-aurelius/), [Seneca](https://dailystoic.com/seneca/), and [Epictetus](https://dailystoic.com/epictetus/)), timeless Stoic strategies [for happiness](https://dailystoic.com/how-to-be-happy/), [dealing with stress](https://dailystoic.com/stress-relief/), [getting and staying motivated](https://dailystoic.com/motivation/), [overcoming procrastination](https://dailystoic.com/procrastination/), and [handling rude people](https://dailystoic.com/5-stoic-tips-for-handling-rude-people/). A lot of people have seen that stuff as a result. We’ve done something like 63 million [views on YouTube (4.4 million hours watched)](https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic), and we hit 1 million subscribers to the channel in March. [The podcast](https://dailystoic.com/podcast/) does around 5 million downloads a month (well over 120M downloads). [The email](https://dailystoic.com/) goes out to over 650,000 subscribers every morning…and has been sent something like 450 million times.

The Stoic answer is to do stuff that matters. Make things that matter to people, that help people.
