COURSE
Stoicism: An Introduction & Contemplation
With Silas Day
Stoicism is a school of philosophy that hails from ancient Greece and Rome in the early parts of the 3rd century, BC. It is a philosophy of life that maximizes positive emotions, reduces negative emotions, and helps individuals to hone their virtues of character. Yet how does it do this? who are its masters and what makes it so universally well-received? Through this course, we will take a look at its history, its tents, and its major figures who are all the way from a slave to the Emperor of Rome.

I have been doing the daily stoic and reading how to think like an emperor. This was great shedding more light on stoicism.

Thank you for this insight into Stoicism. Any more information you have would be appreciated. I'm currently reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. And The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday as my daily reading and meditation.
