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?

🔥 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.
