Stoicism Is a Practice, Not Just a Philosophy

from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks · host Jon Brooks

You can read every word Marcus Aurelius wrote and still fall apart the first time someone cuts you off in traffic. That gap, between knowing and doing, is what this clip is about. Donald Robertson, one of the leading Stoic authors and a cognitive-behavioural therapist, makes the case that Stoicism is something you train, not just something you study.We dig into the common misconception that reading about it is enough, and what it actually looks like to practise the ideas until they show up when you need them. Short, but it reframes how to approach the whole thing.Free 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
