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.

Habits of a Warrior: A Guide to Serious Play with Eric Brown
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Eric Brown is back, and this conversation is about the unglamorous engine room of change: habits. As he puts it, "your daily disciplines cast a vote for the person you want to be and the person you're becoming." Eric is the co-creator of Phoenix Culture and the creator of Warrior 100, both built around discipline and wellbeing.
We get into self-discipline as something you build rather than something you have, why community makes practices like meditation and training far more likely to stick, and the idea of identity-level change, where you stop trying to do the behaviour and start becoming the kind of person who simply does it. Plenty of practical talk about fitting it all into a real life, too.
