Stoicism is the pursuit of Virtue (Aretê), which was defined by the Ancient Greeks as "the knowledge of how to live excellently," Stoicism is a holistic life philosophy meant to guide us towards the attainment of this knowledge through the development of our character. While many other Stoicism podcasts focus on explaining Ancient Stoicism in an academic or historical context, Practical Stoicism strives to port the ancient wisdom of this 2300-plus-year-old Greek Philosophy into contemporary times to provide practical advice for living today, not two millennia ago. Join American philosopher of Stoicism Tanner Campbell, every Monday and Friday, for new episodes.

Improving Your Self-Esteem The Stoic Way [Edited]
Apparently this episode got uploaded only in part. I'm sorry it took me nearly a month to realize it (been busy with the new baby), but this is the full episode. Thanks for letting me know and for being patient.
In today's episode of "Practical Stoicism," I tackle the deeply personal and often challenging topic of improving self-esteem. At its core, low self-esteem is a lack of self-approval, a revelation that can evoke a powerful emotional response in many of us. As we delve into this subject, I guide you through an introspective journey, starting with the acknowledgment of our self-disapproval and moving towards understanding and eventually overcoming these feelings. By differentiating the aspects of ourselves that we disapprove of for our own reasons versus those influenced by external expectations, we embark on a path to genuine self-acceptance. This episode not only seeks to deepen your understanding of self-esteem from a Stoic perspective but also to provide practical steps towards cultivating a healthier relationship with yourself.

Living And Thinking Minimally As A Stoic Who Values Simplicity
In today's episode of "Practical Stoicism," I explore the concept of living simply, not in the sense of minimalism as it's often portrayed—with a focus on physical belongings and a Scandinavian design aesthetic—but in the realm of simplifying our thoughts and, by extension, our lives. While Stoicism isn't about adopting an aesthetic of minimalism, it does advocate for simplicity over complexity in many aspects of life. I delve into how living simply, in a Stoic sense, means focusing on what truly matters, reducing unnecessary mental clutter that leads to physical clutter. By reflecting on Seneca's admiration for Scipio Africanus's modest bathhouse, I illustrate the beauty of simplicity and the Stoic pursuit of focusing on essentials. This episode challenges contemporary culture's superficial grasp of ancient philosophies and invites you to embrace true simplicity by prioritizing virtue and rational choices over material excess.

Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast on Stocism
Having gotten even further through this podcast, I thought I'd return to update my review and say that it has only gotten better over time.
Tanner started off reading through Meditations and adding his own commentary, then later started gradually introducing Seneca and Epictetus (if you don't know who they are yet, don't worry, Tanner introduces them when it makes sense to).
Tanner experimented and learned over time. He tried at one point to put something out every day and collaborate with other podcasters and Stoic academics, but listened to feedback and scaled it back to something more manageable.
I've listened through to the beginning of 2024 so far, and up to this point Tanner has interviewed a lot of interesting and quite well known Stoic authors like Donald J. Robertson and Kai Whiting, which has been fantastic to listen to. I've listened to Robertson's books on Audible too thanks to this introduction.
There is a Patreon and free Discord community, though I haven't taken part in either, sounds great and I'm sure would be worth it if you really get into the philosophy.
Tanner just seems like a genuinely nice guy.
Tanner is about to take a paternity break (congrats Tanner!) so now would be a great time to catch up if you're just discovering this podcast.
An essential Stoicism podcast
Anyone who is interested in Stoicism will benefit from this podcast. No misguided bro-icism. No shallow interpretations. No “just be emotionless and harden up” BS. Real, insightful examination of Stoic texts and concepts aiming to help us to actually apply Stoic philosophy in order to develop our character. Seven days a week. Tanner and his collaborators actually walk the talk in order to make the world a better place.
Short eps make learning easy!
Tanner has a great way of speaking and is very informative. The shorter length episodes really help keep my attention on such a vast subject.
