About Us

Hi, my name is Adhish Ghale. I’m a former British Gurkha, and I’m on a mission to build a Stoicism brand that helps people develop a stronger, calmer and more resilient mind.

As you can see, our brand is called Stoic Note, because our very first product is a Stoicism journal. But this is only the beginning. We want to grow beyond the journal and continue creating products and content that help both men and women develop a more Stoic mindset and become better versions of themselves.

Throughout my life, I’ve had many moments where I struggled to control my emotions, especially when things didn’t go the way I wanted them to. Then I came across Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

That book completely changed the way I looked at life.

I didn’t just fall in love with Stoicism as a philosophy, I became fascinated by the people who lived by these principles. So many other historical figures faced war, loss, failure, pressure, uncertainty and adversity, yet they continued to move forward.

I realised something: we have thousands of years of lessons from people who have already faced many of the challenges we face today. Their stories helped me change the way I think, deal with challenges and take control of what I can control.

And that’s where the idea for Stoic Note was born.

I want to take the lessons, principles and stories of the past and make them practical for modern life so that we can learn from those who came before us and build a stronger mind for whatever comes next.
