Reviews

The practical application to real life really helped me understand, embrace and implement the lessons. Biggest takeaways for me were renewed focus on my own personal resilience and acting with poise in tough situations. Thank you very much for this course!!

Excellent as always. Nice selection of tools and he is not shy mentioning other contemporary stoic teachers.

Enjoyed this course immensely and learning more about Stoicism. It seems to resonate most with me through my practice. I a excited to take more of Jon Brooks’ courses.

Ideal follow on from the other stoic courses I've done with you. Great ideas for daily practice.

What a beautiful course! If your thoughts often overwhelm you, and you want to make sense of the chaos of life, start here.

Very good course. Lots of immediate practical applications. Thank you.

Jon continues to provide us with insights and practical exercises from Stoicism which can be readily applied in day to day life. He’s become an anchor in my daily meditation practice. Thank you, Jon!

I’ve done many courses now and I’m always happy to have a reminder of the stoic virtues constantly. It shapes my daily practices and complements my daily stoic medation. Thank you for putting the time and effort into this idea that changes the life of, I’m sure, many people around the world.

This was an incredible course. Highly informative with well structured exercises. I connected more deeply to it than I expected.

This course gave me clarity with the techniques, something solid to hold into, as I try to live the life I am called to. Thank you!🙏

I like learning about Amore Fati. It helps me draw the line of worrying about the worst case scenario, too much versus being blindsided and feeling overwhelmed.
I really liked this course because it showed me that I have already been doing some of these practices and I am on my way to becoming of what I expect from myself. Also, knowing that tons of other people are studying stoicism makes me feel included, which I have really been looking for.

Great course! I look forward to practicing the stoic principles daily & will revisit this course to reinforce and enhance my understanding.
Thank you! 🙏

Im learning to love my fate - really loving it. ♥️
Thank you for this inspiring course. It's very easy to understand the speaker, no distracting background music, and the material is well presented.
Very much appreciated. 🙏

As a journalist and a person in recovery since 1999. I have been researching and searching for my own peace in a new kind of melting pot, “God.” This course was exactly what I needed. It was grandly crafted, and one I'll return to again. Thank you for forwarding your wisdom!

Stoicism: The Sacred Art of Staying Teachable While the World Burns.
Stoicism isn’t just a philosophy. It’s a spiritual punk band that’s never broken up. It’s a religion for people who dislike religion but still light candles to Marcus Aurelius when their siblings gaslight them. It’s the practice of remaining teachable while the universe throws curveballs at your head.
The Stoics, including Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, weren’t just philosophers.

They were spiritual stuntmen, performing high-wire acts of dignity over pits of despair. They didn’t preach from mountaintops. They wrote from exile, from slavery, from the imperial throne, and from the bathroom mirror at 3 a.m., whispering, “You’ve got this. Even now.”

The Holy Trinity of Stoic Grit.

Seneca was the original burnout sage, a statesman with a death wish and a pen dipped in acid. He taught that suffering is mainly a hallucination. “We suffer more in imagination than in reality”. Which is precisely what I tell myself before opening emails from my angry family.

Epictetus was born enslaved and became a philosopher of freedom. His teachings are a spiritual boot camp: “It’s not things that upset us, but our judgments about things.”

He’s the patron saint of boundary setting and the spiritual bouncer at the door to your peace.

Marcus Aurelius, the emperor who journaled his way through war, plague, and betrayal, wrote Meditations like a man trying to stay human in a world that rewards cruelty. “Kindness is invincible,” he said, and I believe him because I’ve seen kindness survive probate court.

Stoicism as a Religion for the spiritually never-ending students.

Stoicism has all the trappings of religion:
Sacred texts: Meditations, Discourses, Letters to Lucilius; each one a liturgy of grit.

Daily rituals: Morning reflection, evening review, and the sacred art of not replying to toxic texts.
Moral exemplars: Not saints but sages who remind us that virtue is the only actual currency.

Divine order: Logos—the rational structure of the universe, which feels like God’s blueprint for emotional sobriety.

It’s a religion for those who light candles to clarity, who pray by journaling, and who find holiness in holding their tongue.

Teachability, kindness, and the Gonzo Journalist Gospel.

Stoicism isn’t about being a stone. It’s about being a sponge with boundaries. It’s about remaining teachable while the world tries to turn you into a bitter oracle.

The Stoics practiced radical humility, compassion through justice, and love through wisdom.
They didn’t just endure adversity—they metabolized it. They turned exile into poetry, betrayal into clarity, and death into a footnote. They were the original emotional alchemists.

As Hunter S. Thompson might’ve said if he’d read Epictetus: "Buy the ticket, take the ride—but for God’s sake, don’t confuse the rollercoaster with your soul."

Final Benediction
To live stoically is to walk through fire with grace, to remain teachable in the face of cruelty, and to choose kindness when vengeance would be easier.

It’s to write your memoir in the ashes of your expectations and to feed others with the bread of your hard-earned wisdom.

So light a candle to Marcus. Bake a metaphor for Seneca. And whisper to Epictetus when your boundaries are tested: “I am not what happens to me. I am what I choose to become.”

Jon is a brilliant teacher. I have taken several of his courses and I learn something new every time. He has the ability to make it easy to understand and make the changes in your life. Thank you for sharing.

I had never heard of stoicism as a practice. I had heard of Marcus Aurelius yet didn’t realize. I’m not sure how I happened upon this challenge either to tell you the truth, perhaps the ratings.
Anyways, I found it incredibly helpful & will incorporate the practices, not only in my own life, but share them with my students. I am a student/teacher of Yoga, Taoism, Christianity and Zen Buddhism. I like how this weaves into all of that yet I believe this actually gave me more confidence and clear direction. Letting life flow, but also setting boundaries and taking action seems clearer and I’m sure with practice will only increase. Thank you🙏🏼🩷

This course was another gem, Jon! I'm grateful for your shared wisdom. This course helped me to move past setbacks with a reframed mindset, among many other tools I've learned along the way. I enjoyed philosophy when I was in college & hearing your courses reminds me of my passion & thirst for knowledge about stoicism & how those ancient practices are still extremely helpful in the modern world we live in today. Thank you very much! 🙏🏻

Outstanding course. The SPQR method has been a game changer in my life.

A grounding experience with tangible tools to apply daily to improve the quality of my thoughts.

Powerful, accessible framework I intend to reflect on. It’s already helped me build perseverance through some of my current needs and challenges
