The Stoic Rider: Philosophy in Motion

What can a motorbike teach us about living with courage, clarity, and purpose? Quite a lot, as it turns out.The Stoic Rider is an unconventional journey into ancient wisdom and modern motion. Blending the timeless principles of Stoic philosophy with the raw reality of the open road, Louisa Swaden offers readers a fresh take on how to navigate life's challenges with grit and grace.From land speed records on sand to long-distance tours and soul-testing setbacks, Louisa's story isn't just about motorcycling-it's about saying yes to life. Each chapter explores a Stoic principle-like Amor Fati, Memento Mori, and The Obstacle is the Way-paired with vivid real-world riding experiences that bring those ideas to life.This book is for anyone who's ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or off-course-and is ready to ride with intention. With dry English humour, heartfelt reflection, and practical insight, The Stoic Rider invites you to check your mirrors, choose your line, and remember: Time is precious. Don't waste the ride.
