Building Resilience: Stoic Practices for Overcoming Anxiety
from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks · host Jon Brooks
Anxiety is the thing I have spent the most time wrestling with, so this episode is less a lecture and more a report from someone still doing the work. I share what actually helped me, where Stoic practice fits, and the difference between fear and anxiety: fear is a sane response to a real threat in front of you, anxiety is your mind running drills against threats that may never come.I also point to the books that did the heavy lifting for me: "When Panic Attacks" by David Burns, "Stoicism and the Art of Happiness" by Donald Robertson, and "A Guide to the Good Life" by William B.
