The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks
You've read the books. You know what Marcus Aurelius would do. But when life gets hard, the philosophy disappears. This podcast is for people who want to close the gap between knowing Stoicism and actually living it. New episodes every Monday.
The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks
From Tim Ferriss to Marcus Aurelius: "WhatIsStoicism" Creator, Allan's Philosophical Journey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Allan built WhatIsStoicism, and in this episode he tells me how he got there: from a Tim Ferriss podcast and William Irvine’s A Guide to the Good Life into a daily practice that reshaped how he works and lives.
We spend most of the conversation on journaling, the Stoic technique that stuck with Allan more than any other. He shares how he actually started, why rereading and creating content deepen the learning, and how he connects Stoic ideas to entrepreneurship and ordinary modern life. There is even a thread about what caring for a dog teaches you about the philosophy.
