Front cover of The Stoic Teacher: Stoicism for teachers

The Stoic Teacher

Ryan Racine understands teaching and he understands stoicism, but most importantly, he understands the connection between the two. In addition to sharing wise and profound ideas of where teaching and stoicism overlap and how to leverage both, in The Stoic Teacher, Racine also provides us with resources and activities to help us improve and deepen our own understanding, wisdom, and practice.

— Dan Tricarico,  Author The Zen Teacher: Creating Focus, Simplicity, and Tranquility in the Classroom

Ryan Racine’s short book deftly distills Stoic theory and practice for busy teachers so they can start applying it to their lives ASAP. 

— Gregory Lopez, Author A Handbook for New Stoics

Author Ryan Racine translates some basic principles of ancient stoic philosophy into a framework for self-analysis and introspection that rivals some of the most popular modern books from cognitive psychology.

Pericles Silly Adaptation

Pericles for Students

“The concept is original and the execution brilliant. This is Dr Seuss meets Shakespeare, with all the joy of the former meshed with all the intrigue of the latter.” — David Crystal, author of Shakespeare’s Words and How Language Works.

But bottom of the all-time list
Of Shakespeare’s not-so-greatest hits
The play which always fails to please
The poor, unfortunate Pericles.
But before you stand and leave you a seat
I have to say our play’s a feat
Of editing and derring-do
To bring only the best to you
In forty minutes, not one sec more
Your jaws will be upon the floor.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream for Students

“The concept is original and the execution brilliant. This is Dr Seuss meets Shakespeare, with all the joy of the former meshed with all the intrigue of the latter.” — David Crystal, author of Shakespeare’s Words and How Language Works.

Good evening. Welcome to the show
Midsummer Night’s Dream, I’m sure you all know?
It’s a famous work by Will the Bard
But his language can be kind of hard
So this evening we will do our best
To simplify old William’s text.
As you can hear, we’ll speak in rhyme
And cut two hours off the running time.”
