Top 5 Stoic Handbook Podcasts of All Time

Level up in practical wisdom

Hello fellow Stoic ⚔️

The Stoic Handbook started out as a passion project of mine where I could share my favorite ideas in Stoicism and also innovate upon those with modern understandings of learning and psychology.

This month, the Stoic Handbook podcast has surpassed 10,000 downloads. Which is quite unbelievable.

Below I’m going to share the top 5 downloaded posts of all time so far.

It’s also been quite amazing to see some of the reviews. Two that I read that came this month said:

“Wow. Easily the most thoughtful podcast on stoicism out there”

And…

“The best podcast. I have been a student of stoicism for 15 years and this is the best app for those familiar with the writings and want a refresher. I appreciate how you do the meditations. Also, your voice is perfect for a guided mediation. I am grateful to have found this. Thank you.”

This is extremely motivating. Building on my podcast…

💡 In 2 days, I’m going to be releasing Stoic Anxiety Mastery. A course featuring 15 video modules, professionally recorded guided meditations, psychological writing exercises, and live workshops.

The aim of the course is to help you use Stoicism to completely transform your relationship with fear, worry, anxiety, and doubt.
