- I particularly liked this book as a good resource for daily reminders of the Stoic principles. Here's a short description form the author:
For anyone who has found a philosophical home in Stoicism, but still struggles to integrate the ancient lessons into their day-to-day life, this might be the book for you. Practical Stoicism is a collection of short essays to help bridge the gap between the essential teachings of the great stoic philosophers and the things we must do, in the here and now, to achieve the fulfilment they promised.
Dip into any chapter whenever you need a quick reminder of how to move your philosophy out of your head and into your life."

I suppose this isn't very stoic, but I found myself irritated and at wits end by the low level quality of videos and bad voices on CZcams and elsewhere. But then all of a sudden, I find your channel, its high quality instructional content, and clear narrating voice. Finally. Thank you!!!
What did u do with the frustration. Did u smash your phone, laptop or tablet, did u write a letter to youtube, or did just observe the frustration and go find videos like this that are better quality?
Its not unstoic to feel emotion. Its how u respond and act etc. You're not un Stoic for being frustrated 😎👍 Youre a human being!
What I did was Pause, Assess the comments, Then decided to post here
True stoics are vegan. They’re able to use their skills to remain disciplined instead of giving in to habits which cause death to innocent animals whom we have never met and who have never committed a single evil towards us. After all, we were born vegan. We never wanted to hurt animals. We can return to our roots and be kind again.

Thank you for making it easier to find chapters.

Thank you good sir!
Awesome Thank You
I bought it on audible. I find your narration absolutely captivating. Like Donald Robertson. Both, concerning stoicism, violently capture the mood of the philosophy. Thank you so much for continuing your work. Mood makes or breaks a book. It remains or is lost by the speakers delivery. On this subject, no one is more fitting to do the task. You sir were born to deliver the message of the Stoics. None can move a man's heart, by words, as well as you. Well done.
are you into military history? if so I will tell you about a ww2 audio book.
Cling to tooth and nail to this rule: "Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and knowing that fortune behaves as she pleases, doing what is in her powers to do".
A rare, precious, and practical video that can actually lift humanity. Thank you.

Mr.Robert Homer, it's always pleasure to hear your voice. You are one of the best between narrators here.
Sent it to my brother on messenger. Hopefully he's well and so is everyone here. Thanks. I feel blessed.
Words of wisdom to follow throughout life, often easier said than done, but every day we strive to do the right thing according to stoicism, the easier it becomes, change the things we can and worry not about the things we have no control of, we all make mistakes, after all we are but human, even if only in flesh, so we struggle to understand what it means to be but human, peace!!
Vivimos en un mundo y una época en que todavía no hemos aprendido a hacer pleno uso de nuestras capacidades. Pero en nuestra mano está empezar a aprender el mejor modo de manejar esas emociones que nos ciegan y que nos impiden sentir el tremendo potencial que está disponible en nuestro interior.
Amazing work. This guide is needed. Shared with my Stoic Group.
I love you, thank you again for sharing both a wonderful book, and your wonderful voice.
Excellent...clear....pragmatic...real application to "daily life". In gratitude!
Can you possibly do a video on speech and verbal clarity? You perform these audios masterfully and it would be interesting to learn about having voice clarity and balancing pronunciation.
Very interesting suggestion, I'll give it some thought.
Patient is needed
A truly Homeric voice.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you so much for posting this!

Stoic knowledge was taught to me by great teachers from senior high through high school
That is what is lacking in our USA education
We learn from Plato Socrates Shakespeare and great poets from all over Kafka A s
I shared this notes to three of my family who actually would follow you on CZcams or other plot form
1.Knowing and doing what you know you ought to do, because that is your purpose for the moment, whether you like it or not.
Thank you
9:50 - That's a computer programming check suggestion - its code plus syntax. Its about our programming. Deep study is knowing the reasoning well for that topic or suggestion.
17:00 - You can still work for a position for a long time and yet lose it, or not have the position that's best.
Is the competitiin ended? I'll do it anyway because I really appreciate this channel. I'll share it on my Twitter account.

Review your impressions. Say to the impression: Impression is all you are, not the source of the impression. [I'm in control]. If its not in our control, be ready with the reaction (moved here). Then test and access it with your criteria, ask: is this something that is or isn't it in our control, If its not in our control [then] its none of our concern. (later in the book) It cannot touch the you that matters, but your considered [reasoned] response is yours to control.
To add: I'm in the drivers seat, where I have control of my perception. Because I have partial control of my impression and I've had the right action and a response. (later in the book) Because I haven't lost my cool, I'm a better person having been responsive & I admit to the faults which I am not always the best at withholding from me.
(Even later in the book) Pause, assess, then decide. Review your responses so you are even better at being able to draw from them in the correct manner. Review your stoic books, maxims, quotes, basics e.t.c so you are "Pulling the right response with minimal effort."
Nice I like!
Idk about this sleep thing in the beginning. My take on it is that as long as you're truly asleep you actually need it. You body wouldn't let you be unconcious if it felt IT didn't need it. But a bit less sleep is not such a bad thing I guess, especially if you have to be present somewhere.
It's all different if you're Just idling in bed or if you always to to bed too late.
Agreed. The body knows how much sleep to have. Best thing is to not use an alarm in the morning, and to go to sleep at an appropriate time the previous day using a good routine.
It's not literally about getting up early, it's about not lying in bed, procrastinating. It's a metaphor.
Shared on Facebook. I would love to hear the whole book. Thank you for all you do! I have been greatly enjoying your reading of Seneca!
you have philosophical voice
Sent to all my WhatsApp groups👍
Just a question - if visualisation is so powerful in bringing things about in your life, might not it be dangerous to meditate each day on the worst outcome imaginable?
I'd say visualisation works by focusing your intention on a desired outcome.
Negative visualisation isn't intention it's just consideration.
I agree with your question as I have read time and time again that your outcome is what you think about regardless of it being positive or negative.
But still I believe in the power of attraction and I focus on a desirable result. Stoicism has taught me that powers beyond my control will throw obstacles to hinder my progress. What I do about those obstacles I DO have control over even if it’s only having a good attitude about it.
So, in short, visualize a positive outcome, but in the reality of life “expect everything” and “ be ready for anything”.

Umm, as far as Stoics go, try this: doing the right thing, the right way. Then turn around and let the right way illuminate what is to be illuminated, and eliminate what is to be eliminated. On the spot, as the teachers say. Thanks.
Anyone else starting to realize that Robert Homer is the voice of your Daemon?

Not a single stoic has ever written about not eating meat.
