About Jon

I’m Jon Brooks—meditation teacher, Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu purple belt, and host of The Stoic Handbook podcast. After using Stoic principles to work through anxiety and grief, I started distilling the philosophy into five‑minute practices busy people can use right away.

My guided tracks on Insight Timer have 145k+ plays, and the podcast—downloaded 474k+ times—features conversations with leading thinkers such as Donald Robertson and Henry Shukman. Across platforms, a community of 20k+ podcast followers and 4k+ YouTube subscribers resonate with a calm, no‑fluff approach.

Through the Stoic Handbook Membership and the live Askesis cohort, I help members translate ancient wisdom into daily habits that cultivate resilience, focus, and purpose. Off‑mic you’ll find me on the mats, exploring how Stoicism meets movement and breath.
