Channel Intro

On this channel I record audiobooks of the original Stoic materials written 2000 years ago. I also do book summaries and create guided daily routines.

[@VoxStoica]

I've also made a 15 hour Guided Mandarin course here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6qxqJeCq9t0qNU

[@VoxStoica]

Haha, well perhaps if I'd got a post-uni job in ancient Rome rather than China I might have.

[@mmka5434]

Your "Marcus Aurelius Summary" is one of the most excellent things I have discovered on KZbin. And, I express gratitude towards your work.

[@bigboi980]

This channel has been an absolute blessing, and I have gained a vast quantity of mental wealth, and health from the readings that this man places here, for free, for all. I recomend listening to his readings of Seneca's moral letters. The teachings in these ancient texts have helped me get through some of the darkest times I have ever faced. Do you fear death? Do you worry about the misfortune that may have befallen you? Just listen to just a few videos that this man has produced on the subject, and I'm certain you will find some new (or rather old) ways of looking at your life's conundrums, that is sure to help you along your path in life. Thank you vox, I can never repay you for all your hard work, I may not be here today without it.

[@mvuyisogqwaru2409]

Broooo that voice was made to be heard, man!

[@mikecook_author]

I have listening to your Seneca playlist the past couple weeks. Incredible! Thank you for making these videos.

[@deansawich6250]

Thank you for all your efforts. This is an amazing channel for stimulating the mind and soul. ❤❤❤

[@MightyAfricans]

I absolutely love your narrations, I listen every morning to Mediations of Aurelius and also the Enchiridion of Epictetus. A true treasure. All the best Mr. Homer.

[@Kimomaru]

I love this channel, I listen to your audiobooks every day. This was one of my original introductions to philosophy, along with Academy of Ideas, and it's a true asset - an oasis from the constant cacophony of brainless nonsense that prevails in popular culture.

[@Fernuhdo_e]

Your channel's awesome, I genuinely appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Thanks for the amazing topics, owe you a Beer 🍺

[@gruntardo7519]

Thank you for your effort to shine ancient wisdom within the current world. Truth is always truth regardless of era.

[@A.Y.11]

Thank you so much Robin. Your efforts have literally changed my life. I no longer give others the power to affect my peace of mind. This is thanks to you.

[@campsitesweden]

Your narration voice is one of the best Ive ever heard! Thank you for sharing it with us! 👍

[@rationalistfaith]

Just discovered this! Allah I Hafdak 🤲 Stoicism and your voice are both necessary in this always potentially arduous life.

[@student_of_Improvement]

I listen to your recorded works of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca on a daily basis. You are doing great work and have contributed to stoicism so much! Keep at it and just know that you help a lot of us :)

[@jean-chritophedesjarlais8435]

When I first heard you recite Seneca I was a bit set back by how fast you spoke, but I got used to it and listened to the whole 124 letters with delight. But then, listening to a French version where the person spoke a lot slower, I got convinced that slackening the pace increases the effect. Seneca does encourage Lucilius to speak slowly btw.

[@VoxStoica]

Yes, narrating too quickly is a bad habit, especially in my earlier recordings.

[@diegolikescode]

Thanks for your work, improved a lot my quality of life, and your voice really fits the theme of the reading, I can't thank you enough.

[@bootesvoid1275]

Hello Sir! I just wanted to thank you for the awesome work you put in this channel! I just wanted you to know that your work is immensely appreciated!

[@bernardbonnici6887]

Thanks, the way you read these books is very impressive. A very clear voice which ideal to digest every word which is important to grasp stoicism.

[@TiredofEarth]

You have a great calming voice for audiobooks. its a joy to listen to.

[@Yoshimitsu882]

Your channel is such a valuable resource. It makes so much valuable information so much more accessible. I'm genuinely very thankful that I found it

[@cgarcia4487]

Thank you for your uploads.

[@pablodarko84]

Thank you for your amazing work maestro, I wish you an abundant and fulfilling life. My best regards from Lima Peru.

The coolest Cat(Guy) in the game, hands down. "And that why I lost my lamp." Still the butterest joint I've heard other than my Mother's voice.

[@sethlifelong4250]

I really enjoy your content! I must have listened to many of them several times but i must say it scares me to hear you speak and see you at the same time. Its like hearing sin tzu, musashi, and all the other dead personas manifest in a living mans body. Its different. But you do a fantastic job all the same. Thanks for all the timeless books you have brought to life. Some of us dont have much use of our eyes but our ears are a window to other worlds.

[@irfanatic2404]

Best narrator on KZbin! Keep up the great work.

[@kitchenconfessions7136]

I stumbled across your channel some time ago and I really have enjoyed istening to your audio books - thank you

[@youtubevancedsongs721]

Thank you for your work. I love your channel and listen to it constantly. Learning to better my self and my life.

[@henryluyombya]

You introduced me to Stoicism, and not only do I have a change in my life, but I also fell in love with your channel because of the value you bring. Almost every morning, I start my day with your recordings. Thanks Vox Stoica for changing lives including mine. Much love from Prince Edward Island, Atlantic Canada via Uganda.

[@LFC303606ACID]

Nice little studio, no wonder your voice comes across as clearly as it does. Thanks for all the work you do.

[@stevesearle9144]

Wow! Just the other day I was wondering if your channel had an "about" video. This answered every question I had about it. Thanks!

[@falken5688]

Hi robin. After you exhaust the works of the stoics, I would recommend Plutarch's Moralia, and also you could do the rest of Plato's dialogues. You may also do readings of Plotinus and others like Iamblichus and porphory, but they may be a bit too "metaphysical" for this channel.

[@sofitocyn100]

your voice is so perfect and your content is a true gem hidden behind the mediocrity of youtube. Glad I found you

[@markpol3445]

Very grateful for the work that you do. You also have a great voice, seeing you talk in sync with your lips is a strange thing after listening to hours and hours of only your voice. My fav is your narration of the Meditations. The intonation of your speech seems to naturally emit wisdom. Thanks again!

[@philosophy.wyn-christian]

thank you for your free content videos!! It helped me a lot in my self development journey!

[@merkinsniffs]

You are fantastic and one of the best voices I’ve ever listened to keep up the good work

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

I listen to your Marcus Aurelius everyday at work. It's a way to live.

[@mariamurmis4915]

Thank you.

[@baronsecuna]

Thanks for all your hard work

[@danieldacanay8466]

Its a really good thing youre doing here. One day when the world decides to be strong again, it will look towards people like you.

[@huseyincokalak9288]

Oh man, that ending... ❤

[@arishali9248]

Seneca has a nice apartment.

[@simonmonto]

Thankyou for the work you do for us modern stoics in training. I've never thought about buying someones Patreon but I would love to support you and your channel if I could? It kinda seems anti-stoic ironicly but if you had the "join" button on KZbin I would slap it straight away!! Thanks again from NewZealand!!

[@Conquistadoom]

"Stay a while and listen" he's Cain the Healer!

[@HareKrsna1]

Nice. Thanks for sharing. You should do an audio book on Srila Prabhupada: A Friend to All by Her Grace Mulaprakriti devi dasi.

[@aaronjohnstone2800]

Hi Vox, I would love it if you did the Nicomachean ethics by Aristotle.

[@moneybagg2346]

Thank you for all the good Audiobooks! 🙏 are you able to monetize them here on youtube?

[@VoxStoica]

No, KZbin consider it "reused content"

[@BlySS93]

You should keep uploading on Spotify. It would probably help spread the channel

[@theprussian4616]

So this is the guy I've been listening to telling me about Marcus Aurelius

I’m wondering just how accurate are the translations from the original ROMAN text

Hi love you work. Could you do a recording of Ralph Waldo Emerson work.

@@kimyunmi452 ​ Yes it's unfortunate. It's demonetized for "reused content" because the majority of my my videos are narrations of public domain books I didn't write.

You really got to be a gigachad to make a channel intro and then just stop making videos
