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.

Most “men’s advice” teaches tactics. In this conversation, Adam Rice shares a deeper path: becoming untriggerable, relating consciously, and integrating the masculine and feminine so you can lead, love, and live without the drama spiral.
We cover how to spot ego flares in your body, the language of conscious communication, why intimacy beats performance, how to use rituals and rest without sliding into apathy, and when (and how) plant medicines are used in a safe, ethical container.
You’ll learn:
- A 3‑step trigger protocol you can use mid‑argument
- The difference between performance sex vs. intimacy‑building sex
- Right Thought • Right Speech • Right Action—applied to daily life
- How to challenge a partner without escalating
- Why rest and “softness” are part of true masculine strength
- Ceremony vs. recreation and the role of integration
