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.

Excellent. It was short and doable, which improves the probability of one not forgetting too much and applying a lot. Thank you.

It’s a practical and informative talk that serves really well the purpose of its title. So, I got what I came from and it was much more than I expected. Excellent quality as usual. Thank you.

Be sure to take notes! This talk makes sense and it revealed a lot about me. I’m convinced that by learning and practicing these methods I could see a huge improvement, not just in how I communicate with others, but in my overall satisfaction with my life.
