100 Tips For A Stoic Life

Allan John (What Is Stoicism?)
About this episode

It’s obvious to say, but important nonetheless: if we’re to make progress toward a more Stoic life, we have to regularly practice the principles of the philosophy.


And if we’re to regularly practice the principles, we’ll first need to understand and remember them.


The French philosopher and historian, Pierre Hadot, wrote of the importance of keeping our philosophical principles “at hand” so that we’re able to use them in response to the events we face, as if immediately answering a question we’ve been asked.


With that in mind, I have compiled a list of 100 short tips to help you achieve the benefits of practicing Stoicism.
