Stoicism is Not a Dead Philosophy
from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks · host Jon Brooks
Someone pointed me to a Tucker Max tweet calling Stoicism a dead philosophy, backed by a study suggesting that a naive endorsement of Stoic ideology might actually be bad for wellbeing. It is a serious challenge, so I wanted to take it seriously.In this one I dig into the study itself, into the claim, and into the common misreadings of Stoicism underneath both. The real question I am chasing: does Stoicism do more harm than good, or is something getting lost in translation?The tweet: twitter.com/TuckerMaxThe study: psyarxiv.comFree 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
