Stoicism for getting unstuck.
I'm Tanner O. Campbell. I write, podcast, and teach practical Stoic philosophy — the ancient kind, made workable for the life you're actually living.
“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.”
— Epictetus, Discourses, 3.23
What people are saying
“I was a very anxious person when I first began working with Tanner. After the first month I found myself a lot less anxious. Stoicism isn't a cure for anxiety, but it is surely the best tool I've found for managing it. And Tanner has been the absolute best at teaching me how to use that tool."”

“I didn't know what to expect from mentoring with Tanner, but I'm incredibly glad I did it. The level of his personal involvement is hard to overstate. It's actually him you're working with, not like an AI chatbot. Not that I expected that, Tanner! Highly recommend this program!”

Silence isn't always complicity
There’s always someone to shame, some atrocity to speak out about, some protest to go to, some big stink to make over some immoral goings on somewhere on the planet, always some conversation we’re told we must participate in lest we be part of the terrible awful evil thing that is the focus of the conversation.
