The Dangers of Individualism and the Power of Community

Self-made success, individual freedom, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps—these ideas have become the cornerstone of many modern cultures, especially in the West. But is this individualistic mindset really working for us? Today, we’re taking a look at why excessive individualism can be harmful, how it isolates us, and what Stoicism has to say about our interconnectedness and shared humanity.

“The wise man will never shut himself up within his own skin; he remembers that he is born for the good of all mankind.”

—Seneca
