Hardcore Stoicism

by Tacitus Kilgore

A short, aggressive self-published take on Stoicism for men: discipline, control, indifference to opinion. It borrows the vocabulary and misses the ethics; we include it to say so.

you want to see what 'Broicism' looks like in order to avoid it.

Skip it if…

you want actual Stoicism; read Epictetus or Pigliucci.

Try instead: The Life We Are Given →

Three things you will actually use

  1. Stoicism is about virtue, not toughness.
  2. Indifference to externals is not indifference to people.
  3. Check sources.

Do this first

Read the Enchiridion instead.

Our verdict

Broicism; read the sources.
