How I Overcame Anxiety Using Stoicism: Interview with Jon Brooks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I spent years trying to heal my own anxiety, working through a long list of approaches before Stoicism and CBT finally gave me something that held. This interview is where I talk about that openly, and about the course I built out of it, Stoic Anxiety Mastery.
My friend and colleague Nic Stubbs interviews me: who the course is for, why I made it, how it works, and why so many people drawn to spirituality avoid the research-backed cognitive tools that actually move the needle. Nic put it like this:
“I’ve spent the last 7 or 8 years of my life with the prime objective of healing my anxiety and I have looked at so many different modalities. This course is the one course that I would recommend to anyone who is dealing with anxiety.” Nic Stubbs
