Master your judgments, conquer your impulses, and build an unshakable core.
Stoicism is not a set of academic theories; it is a Toolkit for Survival. Founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium after he lost everything in a shipwreck, Stoicism transforms the fundamental pain of the human condition into a source of energy. It teaches that while you cannot control the wind, you are the absolute master of your own sails.
Unlike modern 'happiness' which depends on external events, Stoic Eudaimonia is a state of flourishing that is independent of fortune. It is achieved through the alignment of your Prohairesis (volition) with the needs of the cosmos (reason).
Seeing the world as it is, not as your fears wish it to be.

"Objective judgment, now at this very moment. Unselfish action, now at this very moment. Willing acceptance—now at this very moment—of all external events. That's all you need."
— MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS
