How to Get Over Your Ex
In this episode, I'm talking about how to get over your ex, particularly when a relationship ends that you valued more than the other person did. Breakups can be especially difficult because, unlike losing someone to death, you have to watch someone you once shared a life with go on living theirs...

How to Stop Masturbating
This week, I’m answering a question I genuinely never expected to cover on Practical Stoicism: how do you stop masturbating? More specifically, what do you do when masturbation has stopped being an ordinary sexual behaviour and become something compulsive that you no longer feel reliably able to...
-
How to Journal Like a Stoic
In this episode, I’m challenging one of the most common assumptions in modern Stoicism: that journaling is somehow an inherently Stoic practice. Marcus Aurelius wasn’t keeping a daily diary, Epictetus wasn’t assigning journal entries to his students, and the kind of expressive writing we now...
-
How to Think About Lindsay Clancy
In this episode, I take on the Lindsay Clancy case, but not to tell you what you should think about her. Instead, I use this extraordinarily difficult case to explore how a Stoic should think when confronted with terrible acts, mental illness, questions of responsibility, and our very human…

How To Live Forever
Most of my listeners are somewhere between 35 and 45, which means quite a few of us are reaching the age when mortality starts feeling a little less theoretical. In this episode, I explore one reason the idea of death can trouble us that has less to do with fear and more to do with something…

A Reflection on "Inner Peace"
Marcus Aurelius famously reminds himself that we don't need to retreat to the countryside or the seashore to find peace. In this episode, recorded from my new office in an old textile mill in Dundee, I reflect on why I think Marcus was theoretically right but practically wrong, at least for those...
-
How to have healthy self-esteem
A healthy Stoic practice requires an accurate view of yourself. Think too little of yourself and you misunderstand your capacities; think too much of yourself and you do the same. In this episode, I explore self-esteem through a Stoic lens and explain why accurate self-knowledge matters to our...
-
How to defend your standards kindly
In today's episode I discuss whether pursuing a dream is a Stoic thing to do, and how to talk about your ambitions without accidentally insulting the people who don't share them. Before digging in please be aware of all the ways this podcast is able to exist without ads or formal sponsorship:...

-
How to stop procrastinating
In this episode, I explore procrastination from a Stoic perspective and argue that it isn't a problem of laziness—it's a problem of judgment. Drawing on Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and my own experience with ADHD, I explain why we often mistake temporary discomfort for a good reason to delay action....
-
How to Stop Caring What People Think
In this episode, I explore why criticism from other people affects us so deeply—and why, from a Stoic perspective, it often shouldn't. The episode begins with a chance encounter in a Starbucks that led me to reflect on something many of us experience: the discomfort of feeling judged. Whether…

Get the archives: https://www.stoicismpod.com/the-archive/ In this episode, I explore what overthinking actually is from a Stoic perspective—and why most advice about it misses the point. We often think we're "thinking things through" when we're lying awake replaying conversations, imagining...

You Cannot Be Just a Stoic
In this episode, I take aim at what I call “stoa shaming”—the habit of pointing out someone’s failure to be perfectly Stoic as a way of dismissing both them and the philosophy. You’ve seen it. Someone loses their temper, struggles with their weight, or makes a mistake, and the response is…

Trailer [Updated January 2026]
Welcome, to Practical Stoicism. This podcast is for the prokoptôn: the person making moral progress. In Stoic philosophy, a prokoptôn is not a sage and is not expected to be perfect. Sagehood is likely unattainable. What matters is direction, not arrival. Practical Stoicism rejects popular...
