Riding With The World
This is the sixth post in my 12-part series exploring the Stoic principles behind The Stoic Rider — a book that blends philosophy, bikes, and the bloody-minded joy of doing difficult things on two wheels.
Stillness Isn’t What You Think
This is the fifth in a 12-part series exploring the philosophy behind The Stoic Rider—a book about life, motion, and the lessons motorcycles teach us when we’re paying attention. In this post, we dive into the paradox of stillness in motion, and why calm isn’t found in retreat—but in how you ride through the chaos.
Memento Mori: Remember You Must Die
Fourth in a series of blogs as excerpts from The Stoic Rider book. A reflection on death that’s anything but morbid—this chapter explores how remembering life’s impermanence can sharpen focus, awaken joy, and pull your dreams out of the “someday” folder. Memento Mori isn’t about fearing death—it’s about finally, fully, choosing to live.
Amor Fati – Love of Fate
This is the third in a twelve-part series exploring Stoic wisdom through motorcycling. In this post, we dive into the powerful idea of Amor Fati — the love of fate — and how embracing what is, rather than wishing for what was, can reshape the way we ride and live. It’s about learning to meet the road exactly as it comes — gravel, glory, and all.
Choose Your Line
The second in a ten-part blog series exploring Stoic wisdom through the lens of motorcycling. In this post, we look at how choosing your line — on the road or in life — isn’t about control, but clarity. Even when the path is foggy, uncertain, or steep, your response shapes the ride. Because sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is pause… and steer deliberately.
The Obstacle is the Way
This is the first in a ten-part blog series exploring Stoic wisdom through the lens of motorcycling. Ancient philosophy meets real-world riding to reveal insights into navigating challenge, choice, and change — on the road and in life.
The STOIC RIDER – a new kind of journey
Blending ancient Stoic philosophy with the raw, sometimes ridiculous lessons I’ve learned from a life on two wheels, The Stoic Rider is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, afraid, or uncertain… and chosen to move forward anyway.
