Most people don’t fail at Stoicism because they don’t know enough.
They fail because they don’t practice enough.
In this episode, I talk about why I stopped buying Stoic books, why fiction pulled me back into reading, and how the real work of philosophy happens far away from the page.
We explore the gap between knowing and becoming, why mastery takes decades—not weeks—and why repetition, not insight, is the true currency of growth.
If you feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” this episode is for you.
