The Iron Stoic: Strength of Mind and Body
A short, practical book about training the body and steadying the mind, born out of Stoic thinking and a very personal health journey — old philosophy that has already survived a couple of thousand years of bad advice, put to work where it counts. No transformations, no secrets — just the work, described plainly, and reasons to keep doing it on the days you'd rather not.
Written for people who like their philosophy usable and their training honest.
One honest note: this book talks about training, but it isn't medical advice. Check with a doctor before starting anything new — that's the Stoic move.
