Jon Brooks teaches Stoicism as a daily practice, something you train the way you'd train a skill in the gym or on the mat. He's spent over a decade testing these ideas in his own life: through meditation, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, coaching, and the usual 3am arguments with his own mind. His podcast, The Stoic Handbook, has reached over 500,000 downloads and featured conversations with thinkers like Donald Robertson and Jules Evans, exploring what actually works when you're anxious, reactive, or stuck. His meditations on Insight Timer are built around one idea: you don't need to control what happens to you. You need to get better at what you do next.

Thank you, I needed this guidance today. How to let go, and how to care about things in a healthy way are indeed a practice.

Just what I needed this morning. Sometimes I'm overcome with worry, and not just worrying about the future but also replaying the past with what-ifs. Whenever that question comes up, "what would you tell your 20-year old self?" It is always "don't worry so much!" And when I think of my deathbed it is always, "I wish I hadn't wasted so much of my life worrying." It's a terribly difficult pattern to break. But I commit to asking myself "Is this up to me?" and acting accordingly. Thank you for the gentle and nonjudgmental thought practice. 🙏

I’m so inspired after this course! I even took the time to read The Enchiridion by Epictetus while in this course, just to understand more. Thank you for such a wonderful introduction to Stoic philosophy and practices. I know I’ll come back to this course again.

Oh I just love that ending, "may you have a virtuous day". It's such a simple statement, but it invites a magnificent orientation to live, to BE, while being, and to observe this one finite precious day. Thank you so much for that perspective shift.
