Stoa Conversations: Stoicism Applied
Stoicism: Endurance and Character
This chapter explores the Roman Stoic ideal of immovability and endurance, as articulated by Marcus Aurelius, urging individuals to frame challenges as opportunities for personal growth. It emphasizes that adversity is not inherently damaging; rather, it is one’s perception and reaction that define the experience of misfortune.
