Welcome to The Philosopher’s Compass podcast!I’m your host, Meredith Alexander Kunz. I’m the creator of The Stoic Mom Substack, helping parents and kids benefit from Stoic philosophy, and the co-author of the books Beyond Stoicism, and Live Like a Philosopher.

Robertson. Donald is a psychotherapist and author, and one of the founders of the Modern Stoicism nonprofit. He’s also the founder and president of the Plato’s Academy Centre in Athens. He is the Author of Stoicism and the Art of Happiness, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, Verissimus: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, and How to Think Like Socrates.

mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:26:09

Welcome to the second episode of The Philosopher’s Compass podcast!

Practical Stoicism with Brittany Polat

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

lundi 16 juin 2025 • Durée 34:47

Welcome to the first episode of The Philosopher's Compass podcast, with your host Meredith Alexander Kunz (creator of The Stoic Mom Substack and co-author of Beyond Stoicism and Live Like a Philosopher)! Thanks for joining me in this exploration of meaning and purpose through practical philosophy.

In this episode, I talked with philosophical writer Brittany Polat, co-author of Stoic Ethics: The Basics and Journal Like a Stoic, to explore the benefits of applying Stoicism in everyday life. Brittany and I are both mothers and independent writers/scholars who care about living by our philosophy - which has helped create real change in how we think about our actions and choices.

This wide-ranging discussion touched on what we, as 21st century people, tend to misunderstand about Stoic philosophy and ancient philosophy in general, and about Brittany's interest in Confucianism. We also delved into the sense of purpose that Brittany has gained from pursuing practical philosophy, and the work we've done to build our own life's purpose statements. Hope you'll enjoy this free-flowing conversation with one of our great modern Stoics!

The Philosopher's Compass, Episode 6 - Sharon Lebell

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mercredi 5 novembre 2025 • Durée 58:16

Join me - your host, Meredith Alexander Kunz - for this conversation with Sharon Lebell, an author, musician, and modern philosopher best known for The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness - an outstanding translation of the ancient Stoic Epictetus. When it appeared in 1995, it was ahead of its time - there was no "modern Stoicism." Sharon's book, a contemporary interpretation of Stoic wisdom, helped launch the popular Stoic revival. Through her writing, music, and speaking, Sharon helps people live with greater clarity and purpose. I loved speaking with her and learning from her in this episode of The Philosopher's Compass!
