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.

A Stoic Life: Real-world Applications of Stoic Principles with Donald Robertson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Donald Robertson describes Stoicism as "a kind of psychological toolbox", full of strategies for handling anxiety, anger and pain, and that framing runs through this whole conversation. We trace the history of the philosophy and pull practical use out of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca rather than treating them as museum pieces.
One note: I originally recorded this a few years ago for the HighExistence podcast and never shared it here, so it is new to the Stoic Handbook feed. We work through some of the key Stoic texts and how to actually apply them in daily life, which is the part that tends to get skipped.
