I really enjoy the practical approach and how to apply the Stoic principles to our daily lives.

I’m new to Stoicism but the more I learn, I’m struck by the overlap of some Buddhist teachings and Stoicism like the interconnectedness of all things, as one would appreciate with practicing The View from Above. I would love to hear your comments about this.

Appears to distill wisdom not only from a place of knowledge but also vast life experience .

This podcast is interesting and thought-provoking for people just learning about stoicism or anyone looking to strengthen their resiliency and mental health in general. The only constructive criticism I would add is that the sound quality could use an upgrade. I often need to turn this podcast up much louder than others to be able to hear what he is saying clearly. Still if five star podcast in my opinion.

I am so grateful for this podcast. I never really leave reviews, but this one warrants it. I use the techniques all day, every day.

Absolutely love the podcast. I’ve recommended it plenty of times!

I am so grateful I stumbled upon John’s podcast. I appreciate the way he explains concepts and makes stoicism feel down to earth and tangible. I value his guided meditations on very specific topics which allows a practical application on so many meaningful concepts. Please keep up the wonderful work. I am happy to be a premium member. Thank you for all you’re doing.

Writing another review hopefully to get Jon out to more people on the app. Very well put together stoic lessons.

I still remember doing a 100 mile bicycle ride. A couple. It for sure builds character. I’ve never forgotten them as I had to dig deep inside myself.

voice is so soothing i legit work while playing it and i relished to the same episodes over and over 👍🏽 first time really getting into podcast too so i liked this

Updated review - Jon resolved the issues I had very much ti my satisfaction. I continue to be a big supporter and fan of his work. His content and manner of delivery has always been 5 star. As has been his response to some unfortunate technical and communication issues I had. I paid $63 for a premium subscription a couple of weeks ago. And while I have access to the subscriber version of the podcast episodes themselves, I don’t have access to the additional premium as promised by Mr. Brooks - courses, AMA, etc. Those features are hosted through Supercast who is only recognizing premium subscriptions paid for directly with them, and not the ones through Apple. When I contact Supercast they appeared surprised to learn that Mr. Brooks was selling the premium subscription through Apple. Supercast was unwilling to give me premium subscriber credentials and told me to contact Mr. Brooks directly. I did, twice, without any response. Seems to be a conflict between Supercast and Mr. Brooks that I am now stuck in. I enjoy Mr. Brooks’ podcasts and just want access to the other content for which I paid.

What I live is the practical application to modern life. Jon gives his personal anecdotes as well as draws from the ancient stoic texts to weave a great narrative. I love it. These are all sub h good reminders to try and practice daily.

Love Jon’s stoic thoughts and meditations! So helpful

Jon Brooks is profoundly gifted with his handle on information and with his approach for delivery. This podcast has been a true sanctuary for me… has helped me immensely with my practice. After listening over a month or so to every episode (some as many as 3-4 times) the choice to switch to the premium (paid) podcast has felt just right—- Tone, production style, substance… all so good… HIGHLY VALUED!

Nice short podcasts and feels like good complement to the Daily Stoic podcast.

These lessons have been a game changer for how I process my thoughts. Jon does a great job of explaining the tenets of stoicism and helping you apply them to current circumstances.

Thank you for showing me the power, beauty, and spirituality of stoicism

Easily the most thoughtful podcast on stoicism out there

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.

I’m new to Stoicism and found this podcast from Apple’s recommended podcasts. I’m glad I found it. Highly recommend.

He puts practice over theory just like musonius. He lays out a systematic exercise to follow so you can perform them effectively. Its best to give someone the ability to use the tool then explain why the tool works. He give the minimum effective dose necessary to help you become either a better stoic practitioner or even better ; a better human being. I only need to teach you the steps to shift a manual car to be able to learn to drive it , not explain what the gears do every time you shift and what happens when this or that happens. If you’ve been struggling with performing stoic exercises please listen to him, allow him to take you under his wing through this medium.

I didn’t here him give credit to Jocko, before playing his recordings/ advice.

I’ve only listened to one episode so far, but I will definitely continue listening. I love the practical approach to applying stoic methods of thinking and living. He jumped right in and got his hands dirty and fit lots of great info into a short episode. Thank you!
