Stoicism

Embrace the power of inner strength and resilience through the wisdom of Stoicism.

Concept

Stoicism, with its emphasis on resilience, self-control, and acceptance of the present moment, remains highly relevant in today's fast-paced world. Its principles of mindfulness and rational thinking continue to inspire individuals seeking personal growth and inner peace.

Methodology

Stoicism teaches us to focus on what we can control and accept what we cannot. Through thought experiments like the "dichotomy of control" and the "view from above," we learn to cultivate inner peace and resilience.
