    One of the most useful podcasts around
    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.

    New favorite podcast
    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.

    Endurance
    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.

    Ordered Premium But Not Able to Access Premium Materials Through Supercast Host
    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.

    Good advise on how to apply stoic principles
    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.

  • AwndruWu
    So grateful
    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!

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

    Game changer
    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.

    The best podcast
    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.

    Solid, easily digestible Stoic breakdowns
    I’m new to Stoicism and found this podcast from Apple’s recommended podcasts. I’m glad I found it. Highly recommend.

    Listen and practice
    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.

    Amazing
    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!
