Stoicism was made for times like these. In fact, Marcus Aurelius wrote Meditations, his seminal work, during the Antonine plague.

Over the last 100 years the world has been zombified. Coronavirus is a wake up call. And like an early morning alarm, most people just want to go back to sleep.

They’re terrified of what’s to come and don’t know how to handle the uncertainty.

But stoicism, as always, is there for you to lean on. Stoicism will help you not only weather the viral storm, but help you use it to your advantage.
