"I turned years of Stoic practice into a method for choosing without dread"

Tanner Campbell

Tanner Campbell

Public philosopher, orthodox Stoicism specialist, course creator, and co-author of What is Stoicism? A Brief and Accessible Overview.

I created this app from my own course and method, Overcoming the Anxiety of Choosing, which I built, taught, and sold as a video lesson, workbook, and final test. I wanted to turn the relief people find in the course into something they could use whenever a difficult decision starts looping in their mind.

My approach is grounded in orthodox Stoicism, especially the framework of roles developed by Panaetius and preserved through Cicero's De Officiis. Instead of asking whether an option will guarantee a good outcome, this app helps you ask whether choosing it would be faithful to the roles you have deliberately identified for your life.

I've practised Stoicism for more than ten years and taught it for five, including through one-to-one work with mentees who use this exact framework. I'm also the co-author of What is Stoicism? A Brief and Accessible Overview, and my course is currently going through CPD approval. The method is sourced from the actual texts rather than from simplified pop-Stoicism.

I built this app to make the process practical: clarify your roles once, test each option honestly, weigh conflicts when roles collide, and close the cases you keep reopening. My hope is that it helps you make a sound choice in the present, move forward with less dread, and stop treating every decision as a threat that must be solved perfectly.

What should I focus on today?
03:49 AM
Today, focus on naming one decision, testing each option against your four roles, and closing the case once you have a faithful choice. This matters because clear principles can end deliberation without requiring certainty about the outcome.
03:49 AM
I only have five minutes today and a decision is already making me anxious. Can you shorten today's activity without losing the essential method?
03:50 AM
Absolutely! I'll adjust today's activity to a five-minute role check: name the decision, test your strongest options against each role, and choose one surviving option so you make progress without reopening every detail.
