Understand The Core Principles Of Stoicism

Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that cultivates resilience and mental toughness in adversity. At its core, Stoicism teaches that we cannot control external events, only our responses to them. Stoics train themselves to manage emotions, differentiate between what is in our control and what isn’t, and use reason to overcome destructive passions. We can find inner peace by living virtuously and calmly, accepting what we cannot change.
