See how the four weeks unfold.
What you'll experience
Four weeks moving from what the Stoics actually taught to a daily routine you keep β because a philosophy only pays out if it is practised.
Stoic Acceptance
The awareness to accept what is rather than fight it β saying yes to what arrives.
Emotional Resilience
Endure stressful situations without being overwhelmed, so nobody can push your buttons.
Virtues to Live By
Courage, patience, self-discipline, perseverance and reasonableness, developed deliberately.
Off the Roller Coaster
Reduce negative emotions, find tranquillity, and stay calm in the middle of a storm.
Daily Stoic Routines
Morning and evening practices that turn the philosophy into how you actually live.
Where most of us are
Does any of this sound familiar?
Traditional schooling never addressed how to actually live. The ancient schools of philosophy did nothing else β and most of us could use one.
β
Other people decide your mood
A comment, an email, a delay β and the rest of your day belongs to whoever caused it.
β
You spend energy on the uncontrollable
Worrying about outcomes that were never yours to determine, while the part that was goes unattended.
β
Adversity arrives unprepared for
What is philosophy for, if not to make ready for the things that may come upon you?
β
You've read about Stoicism
Quotes, threads, a book you half-finished. Knowing it and living it turn out to be different skills.
Theory into action
Jonas's whole approach is the step most people skip β putting the wisdom from the page into practice. Twenty short lessons, each with a daily task, so the reading becomes a habit rather than a highlight.
What changes
Resilience, confidence and calmness.
What matters if you want to flourish is who you are and what you do. Everything else β the traffic, the strangers, the leaking washing machine β is outside the decision.
Timeless wisdom, made usable
Gain resilience, confidence and calmness from a philosophy that has been stress-tested for two millennia.
Values you actually hold
Develop courage, patience, self-discipline, perseverance and reasonableness as practice rather than aspiration.
Emotional resilience
Strengthen it to the point where other people can no longer push your buttons at will.
Routines that hold
Daily practices that improve your awareness and your actions in a world that offers neither.
Based on The Little Book of Stoicism.

The curriculum
Four weeks. Understand, accept, endure, practise.
The sequence is deliberate: the ideas first, then the harder work of accepting what is, enduring what comes, and building the routine that keeps it going.
Week 1Stoicism 101: An Introduction to the Philosophy
What is Stoicism all about, where does the philosophy come from, who were its main characters and what was their goal in life? Week one covers the core ideas, and arrives at the central claim: what matters if you want to flourish is who you are and what you do. The simplest strategy for expressing your highest self is focusing on what you control β and taking responsibility for your own flourishing by being response-able in the present moment.
Week 2Stoic Acceptance
Stoicism is demanding β it asks you to express your highest self in every moment, and life has a habit of catching you off guard. What you need is a particular awareness in the present so you can accept rather than fight what is. This week is about saying βyesβ to life's challenges, which turns out to be an invaluable skill in the art of living.
Week 3Stoic Resilience
What is philosophy for, if not to prepare yourself for the things that may come upon you? Week three is about emotional resilience β enduring stressful situations without being overwhelmed. What do your expectations and desires have to do with frustration and disappointment, and what can you do about it? The Stoics were not idle; they prepared mentally and physically to face adversity with calm and a trust in their own resilience.
Week 4Stoic Routines
Stoic philosophy is a highly practical matter, and its benefit can only be reaped if it is practised in everyday life. The final week focuses on exactly that. Our primary responsibility is to look after ourselves properly, so that we may flourish and thereby support the people around us. An aspiring Stoic looks for the truth and is willing to learn, apply and reflect β and then repeat.

What is Stoicism, in practical terms?
An ancient philosophy concerned with how to live rather than with abstract theory. Its central move is separating what is up to you from what is not, then investing your effort entirely in the first. The course covers where it came from, who its main figures were, and what following it actually looks like day to day.
Do I need to have read the book?
No. The course stands on its own and week one starts from the beginning. If you have read The Little Book of Stoicism, this is the author walking you through applying it, which is a different thing from reading it again.
How much time will I need?
Six hours of on-demand learning in total, across twenty short lessons over four weeks. Each lesson comes with a daily task designed to fit into your existing routine rather than compete with it.
Can I start anytime?
Yes. Start whenever you are ready and work at your own pace. Lifetime access to the videos and notes means you can revisit or restart a week at any point.
What will I gain?
Across the four weeks you will:
- Gain resilience, confidence and calmness from the timeless wisdom of Stoicism
- Develop values to live by β courage, patience, self-discipline, perseverance, reasonableness
- Strengthen emotional resilience so others cannot push your buttons
- Get off the emotional roller coaster, reduce negative emotions and gain tranquillity
- Create daily routines that improve your awareness and your actions
Is Stoicism about suppressing emotion?
No β that is the most common misreading. Stoic practice is about stepping outside your thoughts and being aware of them rather than imprisoned by them, so that emotion informs your response instead of deciding it. Week two on acceptance and week three on resilience are both built around this distinction.
Do I need any background in philosophy?
None. Jonas writes and teaches in a deliberately practical rather than academic style, and every concept is built from the ground up.

How long do I have access?
Lifetime access to all twenty lessons and the accompanying notes, so you can return whenever you need a refresher.
Is this a substitute for therapy or medical care?
No. This is educational content about philosophy and everyday practice. It is not therapy, diagnosis or treatment for any condition, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional.
