How to Use Social Media

October 19, 2026 · 8 min

In this episode, I'm talking about how to use social media as a Stoic, although I should probably begin by admitting that I really don't like social media. I think these platforms have made it far too easy for uninformed opinions to become…
How to Get Over Your Ex

October 11, 2026 · 7 min

How to Stop Masturbating

How to Journal Like a Stoic

September 30, 2026 · 8 min

A Reflection on "Inner Peace"

September 4, 2026 · 9 min

Marcus Aurelius famously reminds himself that we don't need to retreat to the countryside or the seashore to find peace. In this episode, recorded from my new office in an old textile mill in Dundee, I reflect on why I think Marcus was…
How to have healthy self-esteem

August 24, 2026 · 14 min

A healthy Stoic practice requires an accurate view of yourself. Think too little of yourself and you misunderstand your capacities; think too much of yourself and you do the same. In this episode, I explore self-esteem through a Stoic lens…
How to defend your standards kindly

August 19, 2026 · 16 min

In today's episode I discuss whether pursuing a dream is a Stoic thing to do, and how to talk about your ambitions without accidentally insulting the people who don't share them. Before digging in please be aware of all the ways this…

About the show

Stoicism the pursuit of perfect moral character. If this is not what you understand the objective of Stoicism to be, then you do not understand Stoicism properly. If you would like to understand Stoicism properly, you should join Stoic author and public philosopher Tanner O. Campbell, every week, right here, to explore various aspect of Stoicism from an orthodox, but practical perspective. Practical Stoicism is 100% independently owned, entirely ad-free, and produced by a real live human being who knows what he's talking about.
