Journal Like a Stoic

While Stoicism offers age-old wisdom, it is hardly a relic of the past. Today, people from all corners of the globe look to Stoicism to find solace, curb reactivity, and achieve their greatest ambitions. In Journal Like a Stoic, Stoicism researcher and expert Brittany Polat, PhD, provides 90 days of journaling for the modern Stoic to ground themselves as they deepen their self-exploration, find discipline, cope with grief, or simply seek change (or to endure it). Whether you’re coming to Stoicism for the first time or returning to its guidance, this course will support your path to fulfillment with practical, empathic wisdom that’s endured for millennia.

Key takeaways:

• Build a consistent journaling habit — the book offers a 90-day program to turn Stoic reflection into a daily ritual. 

• Gain emotional clarity and calm — journaling helps you process emotions, reduce anxiety or grief, and face life’s uncertainties with acceptance. 

• Increase self-awareness — by reflecting regularly, you learn about your inner critic, habits, and reactions — and can begin to consciously reshape them. 

• Accept life as it unfolds — one course in the book is dedicated to “the road to acceptance,” helping readers embrace life’s unpredictability with equanimity.

• Live with virtue and purpose — later sections guide you to align daily choices with Stoic values: wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice. 

• Track growth and progress — the structure lets you observe how your mindset, behavior, and interpretation of events evolve over the 90 days. 

• Make Stoicism practical and personal — by answering thoughtful prompts and writing your own reflections, you turn philosophical ideas into lived experience.
