Anyone that has never heard of this I think they should take a look at the idea of it.
Hope this helps outher people like it has helped me massively! All about he importance of mental strength and I personally am really lacking in self drive and self worth… Can any of you relate and can see this helping you? I think it’s all things we all can benefit from thinking about 
Love you all 
Been watching these Stoicism videos on YT myself every now and then. Lots of things that would’ve been really helpful to me 30 years ago, like dealing with (avoiding?) toxic people/relationships, handling rejection, etc. Having self-respect…things I lacked in my younger years.
I often listen to similar clips on stoicism to start my day. I find them extremely helpful. 
I’m going to check this out
I just started this a week’ish ago. Very good so far.
One of the last great philosophers and stoics.
I’m really glad someone dropped this here…Good reading.Has helped me immensely over the years…very reflective
I prefer the act of reading more than listening, but I had some credits on Audible and decided to get the two suggested titles in here. 
pretty much my favorite book of all time
Me too.
It is not a tradition I have a lot of familiarity with but this thread spurred me to look it up. In particular I am interested in peering past the early impression I have of stoicism - a bunch of ancient men delivering audiences abstractions about how they think lives should be lived (I can’t get excited about that, for the same reason I can’t get excited about superhero movies: I already know the key events and heroes and villains of the plot; the only thing that will be (sort of) new is the special effects, the delivery, the showmanship, and for me that’s not worth the investment to pay the admission price and dive deeper into the movie, when I could use that two hours to do something that for me personally would feel more impactful and transformative) - and instead I’m very interested in the messy and multidirectional situations of stoicism playing out in day to day human life with injustice, inequality, (self)censorship and (self)limiting or (self)liberating behaviours, and other ways philosophies and principles get messy in practice.
(Messy things are interesting 
)
I found this article from political theorist Lisa Hill which is an interesting read on how stoicism, at least at the level of theory and (in some places and times) in practice, can be seen as an (ancient) first wave of feminism. Hill makes some thought-provoking observations about the ways stoic writers’ attention to women as compared with (for example) slaves introduce some complications and contradictions to stoic ideas about who is a person, what rights and responsibilities come with that, and what significance that has in practice.
What stood out to you about the book you give above? (The Art of Living) What are some the points and proposals etc that caught your attention?
