Where Modern Stoicism Goes Wrong

Stoicism has exploded in popularity, but has modern self-improvement completely misunderstood it? In this episode, we debate 5 claims about modern Stoicism, from whether it's become nothing more than productivity advice and social media quotes to whether it's being used as a tool for wealth, status, and emotional suppression instead of character and virtue. We also discuss the influence of the manosphere, the commercialization of Stoicism, and why the philosophy may be more relevant today than ever, if we return to what the ancient Stoics actually taught. If you've only encountered Stoicism through short-form content, this conversation might change how you think about it. #Stoicism #SelfImprovement #Philosophy #MarcusAurelius #PersonalGrowth #Mindset #Psychology #Discipline #Virtue #MentalHealth #Learning #Podcast
