What happens when a 2,000-year-old philosophy becomes the answer to modern anxieties?
In an era of economic uncertainty, social fragmentation, and an overwhelming digital landscape, Stoicism has made a stunning comeback. But is this resurgence a genuine pursuit of wisdom, or is it merely a coping mechanism for a world in crisis?
This episode dives into the psychological resilience of Stoicism, its clash with Epicureanism, and the ongoing debate over whether its principles offer true empowerment or quiet resignation.
🔥 Is Stoicism a philosophy of strength—or an excuse for passivity?
Join us as we break down the philosophy’s rise, its applications in therapy and neuroscience, and its surprising influence on Silicon Valley, the self-help industry, and modern minimalism.
