Stoicism is an ancient (yet timeless) philosophy from the Greek and Roman era.
Basically, Stoics cultivate the basic virtues of Courage, Wisdom, Temperance and Justice, which lead to lasting happiness, success, love and all good things in life.
“The man who has virtue is in need of nothing whatever for the purpose of living well.”
replyFamous stoics include the philosopher Seneca and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius
I’m about 1/2 way through reading “How to be a stoic”, so far its a good introduction.
replyI haven't read that, but I bet it's good. Massimo has been writing on the subject since I learned what Stoicism was.
replyIf you're interested, feel free to sign up to Stoa Central. Really, I would love to have some intelligent people to have discussions with.
