Practicing Stoicism in the 21st Century

In this talk, I explain what Stoicism is—and what it isn’t.  I describe its birth in ancient Greece and Rome, its fall into obscurity during the 20th century, and its remarkable renaissance in the last two decades.   Along the way, I describe the psychological insights of the ancient Stoics, explain how modern philosophy has confirmed those insights, and show how they can form the basis for development of strategies that we can put to work in daily life.
