    Chapter 1: What is Stoicism?

    Stoicism is an interesting idea from ancient times that has really translated over to modern times. It came out during a time of great turmoil in ancient times, a time when emotions could get out of hand and life was not a predictable thing like before. The tenets that come with Stoicism often work well with times that are tough, times of misunderstanding and conflict, which is why it can sometimes work so well in our modern times.

Stoicism often talks about how we are not the ones in control of, and that we can’t rely on, the external events that go on around us. But we can control how we respond to these events.

    Stoicism is a pretty simple philosophy, but in many cases, it can be hard to stick with. It works to remind us that the world is unpredictable and that our moment in life is pretty brief. It works to teach us how to be strong and steadfast and that to find true happiness with our short time on this earth, we need to be able to control ourselves.

    It also recognizes that many people are unhappy in life, but the source of this dissatisfaction is not in having too little money or not having enough stuff, it is with our dependency on our emotions and acting out right away, rather than using
