Today I am joined by Officer Bill Mauro to discuss his new book The Stoic Cop.  Bill found himself in a rut of depression working night shift before he found stoicism.  After reading into stoic philosophy he was able to pull himself up out of the hole he was in.  Bill realized that embracing stoicism as a law enforcement officer was drastically needed but could not find any literature or guides, so he decided to create that guide himself.  Enter The Stoic Cop, an easy to read and understand guide on why stoicism is important in the LEO field and how you as a cop can use it.  If you are interested in purchasing a copy of The Stoic Cop follow the link in my bio.
