Building upon many years of privately shared thoughts on the real benefits of Stoic Philosophy, Liam Milburn eventually published a selection of Stoic passages that had helped him to live well. They were accompanied by some of his own personal reflections. This blog hopes to continue his mission of encouraging the wisdom of Stoicism in the exercise of everyday life. All the reflections are taken from his notes, from late 1992 to early 2017.

Stoicism and Stockdale for Memorial Day
It is perhaps appropriate on Memorial Day to offer two short talks given by Admiral James B. Stockdale, on how Stoicism related to his experiences in the military. They are well worth the read.
