Heya. I’m Eric Ruth. Nice to meet you.
I survived a lot, but I wasn’t living. I was lost, caught in a cycle of self-destruction, lies, avoidance, and blame. I hurt people I cared about. I sabotaged myself. And worst of all, I convinced myself that none of it was my fault.
Then I found Stoicism. Not the social media/Silicon Valley version you may have seen in memes or heard someone mention in a bar. This is the real deal. This philosophy demands brutal honesty, self-discipline, and radical personal responsibility. The kind that says, "No one is coming to help you besides you.”
To call yourself a practicing Stoic requires actions rooted in virtue and journaling, the greatest tool for self-examination I’ve ever found. Day by day, entry by entry, I rebuilt myself. Not fleeting motivation. Not a personal opinion on how to find happiness. Not luck. A proven system.
This approach isn’t about hand-holding or feel-good affirmations. It’s about doing the work that will get results in your life.
