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
Work/Life Balance is an Illusion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Work-life balance gets talked about as if it were a fixed point you could reach and hold. I think that framing sets us up to fail. In this one I share how I actually approach it.
It should be useful for anyone busy who wants to get more done while carrying less stress. Along the way I point to a few things that shaped my thinking, including Alain de Botton on success, Greg McKeown on essentialism, and Henry Cloud on boundaries.
