🎙️ The Stoic Revival: Why an Ancient Philosophy is Reshaping the Modern World

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?

🔥 Can its teachings help us break free from the attention economy?
🔥 How do ancient thinkers like Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus compare to modern philosophers like Byung-Chul Han?

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.
