Stoicism is an ancient philosophy that originated in Greece over 2,000 years ago, and its teachings have left ripples throughout the world ever since. I’ve been exploring the ideas of Stoicism on the Practical Stoic Podcast for over two years now, and it’s been an amazing journey which has taken me to the very limits of my own understanding.
On the Practical Stoic Podcast I speak with prominent philosophers, psychologists and theologians in order to try and extract the essence of Stoicism, as well as other philosophies and religions. Listen intently, and attach your listening to action so that you can see just how powerful Stoicism can be for you in your life.
