Welcome to The Practicing Stoic

Discover the power of stoicism and how it can transform your life. Embrace the wisdom of ancient philosophers and learn to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience. Let us be your guide on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Perhaps the most enduring question of ancient philosophy is How to live? There are many questions the modern thinking individual might ponder. How to be happy, for example. Or, how to be authentic, or just, or kind. At The Practicing Stoic we hold that if you can answer the enduring question, How to Live, the other questions will answer themselves. For clues to answering that question we turn to the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.

Modern life is noisy, distracting, cruel, and chock full of just plain difficulty. Political discord, social injustice, climate change, social incivility—everywhere you turn another challenge confronts. For the lover of wisdom—and that is what the word philosophy originally meant—there are tools by which to confront these challenges. These tools not only afford a means by which to better manage one’s existence, they afford us the opportunity to flourish.

This is the path of the practicing stoic, the path of ethical living, personal fulfillment, and rewarding social engagement. Welcome to our community.
