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.

Stoic Morning Energy Boost: 5 Minutes To Wake Up Ready
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some mornings you do not need calm. You need to wake up. This 5-minute Stoic practice is built for the mornings when your body is out of bed but your mind has not followed.
You will move through five rounds of power breathing to flood your system with energy, then a short visualisation of yourself moving through the day ahead with purpose. No easing in. No extended relaxation. Just a sharp, deliberate start.
The anchor is a line from Seneca: we do not lack time, we waste it. This practice makes sure you do not waste the first five minutes. Stand if you can. Press play before your phone gets a chance to set the tone.
