Stoicism is a timeless ancient philosophy which can teach you just that. Unlike many religious and new age thinking methods, Stoic teachings provide a clear road map on exactly “How” to think, not simply “What” to think. Thus giving its practitioners a way to better deal with the misfortunes and hardships they face.

James Daugherty is an intelligence expert & former CIA Spy who specializes in all forms of human behavior. But there’s one trait which is critical to a productive life, obtaining a pragmatic & stable mindset. He’s a huge proponent of the Stoic philosophies, from being exposed to highly stressful & testing situations over the years. A Stoic mindset is not a luxury for a field agent, but a necessity.

  • Exactly what Stoicism is & where this timeless wisdom came from
  • The trials and tribulations of its forefathers - Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus & Seneca
  • How to cultivate the RIGHT human virtues & controlling emotions

  • How to deal with modern day demands using “The Art of Acquiescence”
  • Seneca’s rules to eradicate stress - lessons from the Greeks
  • Practical tips on Problem Solving, Perseverance & Pragmatism
  • The most effective Daily Stoic Meditations and Affirmations

… and much more.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

James Daugherty is an Ex-CIA intelligence expert who specializes in all forms of communication and elite human performance.

He majored in Forensics & Psychology at Florida State University before being recruited into the FBI in 1994, initially as an analyst working a desk job. He quickly graduated to a Special Agent working more complex and dangerous cases in the field before joining his latest employer - the CIA.

Now retired, James has resisted the university lecturing roles and advisory law enforcement positions in exchange for a more low key life with his family on the West Coast. He does take on occasional private consultancy work however prefers to spend his days walking the dog and writing about his trials & tribulations in the field as an American spy.

He never realised how much the skills he acquired over his 20 years in the intelligence game would help people in civilian life. His writing is a combination of fascinating anecdotes, clever tactics/tricks along with the scientific rationale to back up his advice.
