Jon Brooks teaches Stoicism as a daily practice — not as philosophy you read about, but as 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 — not about Stoic theory, but about what actually works when you're anxious, reactive, or stuck. His meditations on Insight Timer have reached millions of listens. They're built around one idea: you don't need to control what happens to you. You need to get better at what you do next.

More a reflection than meditation in my experience. I liked it. It was quite thought provoking and straightforward.

I truly don’t understand why Epictetus isn’t part of basic primary education across the world. What a gift. Thank you much for sharing his teachings in such a clear and lucid manner. 🙏🏾❤️
