Videos
Video essays on applied Stoicism calm, sourced, and made to be watched more than once.
The Practical Philo is, first, a YouTube channel. Each essay takes one idea at a time a Stoic thinker, a practice, a popular misconception and works through it properly: the original source, the modern application, and the specific technique. No hype, no thumbnails shouting at you.
The channel
What’s coming first
The opening slate of essays:
- Why Stoicism Is Not Positive Thinking. What the philosophy actually asks of you.
- Memento Mori. The practice that quietly changes how you decide.
- Amor Fati. What Nietzsche borrowed from the Stoics.
- Marcus Aurelius on Kindness vs. Anger. The side modern Stoicism skips.
- Stoicism for Burnout. A practical guide for high-performers.
If a video opens a question, the writing goes deeper, start with Marcus Aurelius, Memento Mori, Seneca, or Stoicism.
