Stoicism is a school of philosophy that arose during the Hellenist era. It was created by a philosopher named Zeno of Citium in the year 300 BC in the ancient city of Athens. These ideas were quickly adopted by the Cynics as well as by Socrates. It caused controversial arguments among the Academics, Epicureans, and Skeptics. The word “Stoicism” comes from the Greek words Stoa Poikile (the Painted Porch), a large marketplace in the country. It was there that Stoics from different parts of the country met and conducted philosophical teachings. Soon after its creation, Stoicism spread to Rome where it blossomed.Discover Stoicism:The First Two TopoiHistory of StoicismChrysippus' StoicismThe Stoic Practices of Marcus AureliusEpictetus' StoicismSenecaModern StoicismThe Importance of StoicismStoic PrinciplesPrinciples for Developing an Unbendable MindIf you are ready to learn and improve your mindset, this book will provide you with philosophy, history and self-help.You have power over your mind – not outside events.
