Stoicism is the most misunderstood school of philosophy. Right down to the way we use it in the English language. This beautiful school of thought, designed to help us live a virtuous life in service of others has been bastardized and corrupted by marketers.
This video is specially important to me because I've studied Stoicism for years and found great comfort in its teachings. It pains me to see it misunderstood and used as some sort of selling point for a hyper-masculine "macho man", stiff upper lip lifestyle -- which is scientificaly proven to lead to suffering. Hopefully, this video helps you understand 3 key principles within Stoicism, and delineates it from the naive understanding which leads many astray. - Mikey Posada
