A New Substack Page


Occasionally, some kind and thoughtful person asks if there is a way to offer donations for the writing on the Stoic Breviary blog. Those who know our whacky family will also know that none of this was ever done for any financial profit, and that publishing these reflections has been a labor of love, not an exercise in selling a brand. 

Still, the Stoic can always appreciate a bit of money, as long as he knows how to make good use of it. We are deeply grateful for any assistance in keeping this project going. 

The original print book is still for sale on Amazon, as well as two short Kindle texts on the Liberal Arts and the Good Life. 




The only spot on social media where A Stoic Breviary has any traction is Tumblr (go figure!) where tips can be offered, if you are so inclined. 

Finally, we were recently encouraged to start a Substack page for A Stoic Breviary. After some hesitation, it is now up and running. 


The idea here is that there will be regular free content, but also a paid option, which will include the full run of the original Stoic Breviary book, and ultimately a revised and cleaned-up version of some of the reflections on Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Musonius Rufus, and Seneca. 

Now we don't think it right to demand payment for philosophy, following the example of Socrates. This is why anyone who is struggling financially has always been sent a free copy of the original book, and why this creaky Blogger site will continue to offer the original entries, warts and all. 

However, if you wish to support A Stoic Breviary with donations, the Substack page exists as a convenient means for that very purpose. It is an option for the generous soul, not a requirement. 

Thank you for reading along!
