    In the spirit of changing things I can change, can I offer some feedback on the reader experience here? I get an email from Modern Stoicism in my inbox telling me the next issue of The Stoic is available. I’m subscribed to The Stoic. If I click the link, I come to this article, which takes me to a link where I can subscribe to The Stoic again. Nothing on either site gives me a clue about how to get my hands on the magazine itself. Given the overlap in the teams, could you have a look at improving things please?

        The problem seems to continue. We just identified this as a problem originating from one of our service providers. They have not fully fixed it. I Will let you know when it is fixed. Thank you for your patience.
