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.
