About my guest Jamie Ryder:

Mental health advocate Jamie Ryder grew up in Manchester, UK, with a comic in one hand and a Stoic quote in the other. Now he writes stealth help books where ancient wisdom and battles meet pop culture and personal growth lessons. Because self-improvement is more fun with a few fight scenes.

His latest book is History's Greatest Philosophers: Classical Wisdom for Modern Times. The book will help you apply practical philosophy to build better mindset and mental health habits.
