Publisher's Synopsis
Stoicism is the popular antique Greek philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens while it was precariously in the third century BC. To be stoic is to be in the eye of a hurricane-to remain still and calm in the middle of whirlwinds of chaos and destruction. It's just not a philosophy but a way of living that transforms the lives of many.
There are some morals of Stoicism, such as prudence, fortitude, justice, and moderation.
It has been practiced by many great people, one of whom was the Roman king Marcus Aurelius. The emperor was a paradoxical example of stoicism. Another famous historical person was Epictetus, and beyond him, there are many more examples.
Many other things happen to a stoic person, such as a renewed admiration for reality, a higher sense of justice, believing in themselves, and a better attitude towards life in general. Simply put, stoicism enlightens the mind and promotes better living through adopting self-control over devastating thoughts. It is the art of balancing human thoughts and emotions.
