In our interview with Daniele Bolelli we said how there is a certain class of people who can’t be placed in a single category. Their interests and accomplishments span multiple industries and fields and are often at complete odds with one another. David “DHH” Heinemeier Hansson is one of them. He is the creator of the widely popular programming framework Ruby on Rails, he is the founder & CTO at Basecamp, he is a New York Times best-selling author, a Le Mans class-winning racing driver, as well as a talented photographer. David has also been an outspoken critic of many so called “best practices” in Silicon Valley—from the growth at all costs mentality to the cult of workaholism. It turns out, he is also a deep admirer and student of the Stoics. We’ve seen references to Stoicism in his writing online but it was only after his interview on the Tim Ferriss podcast that we understood how deeply DHH has studied Stoic philosophy and how big of a part it played in his life.
In the interview below DHH shares some of the most important techniques from Stoicism that help him cope with success, achieve tranquility, key book recommendations and much more.

Can you tell us how you first encountered Stoicism? Was it a specific book or author? Do you remember your reaction?
