Thank you for letting me joining this group. Stoicism has helped me to reach out more and more personal goals. I’m grateful for being within a community with the same mindset. I also wrote a small guide (with stoic habits ) that I published in Amazon a few months ago . Would you be interested in reading it if I publish it here? Have a wonderful week everyone! Really excited to be part of this amazing group.

This is the Skool community for Practical Philosophy -- Let me know if you have been to a meetup in person and if not, where you're located!

May was an interesting month in the history of Practical Philosophy… On May 30th, 2024, we started the Practical Philosophy Vancouver chapter. For the first 2.5 years we just had the three groups. Minding our business. Then we opened CDMX in early 2024 and Vancouver was the 5th group. That was a turning point. After that, within a few months we had opened up another 5 or 10. One year later and we have 5x’d that number with over 25 chapters. It seems that Practical Philosophy has become an actual movement. During this month of May, 2025, we added new chapters in Montreal, Doha Qatar, Cagliari Italy and Saltillo Mexico. As well as the revival of our San Francisco chapter. For June, we have similar growth happening. What we must keep in mind, while all this exciting growth is happening, is that although growth in numbers is good, we MUST make sure that we are optimizing for the best discussions that we can have. That we are building something beautiful is evident, yes. That it’s quite massive, also yes. But that our main focus must be on the quality. When the initial exponential growth happened, it got into our head a little bit. We lost our humility for a brief period. We’ve made adjustments and remain conscious that we must maintain that humility. It’s been a balance because you also want to maintain your frame and yeah … that’s a whole other topic. Too humble is as bad as too arrogant. But we just try to keep in mind that our indicator for impact is not so much based on bodies through the door, but how well we are facilitating discussions that involve critical thinking and communication. That’s our goal. How is it that we can build a community built on honest and transparency? That’s the question we must ask. Things will continue to change, but with our focus on open discussion and connection through community, we believe that Practical Philosophy will continue to grow and change the lives of people all around the world. It started as a hangout, it has since become a movement. We are riding that wave together, and as long as we keep our focus on quality discussions, we will continue to be a space where people can connect with other deep thinkers.
