Even though Marcus Aurelius wrote it 2,000 years ago - his insights on Stoicism still carry strong weight today. Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. Even though it is over 2000 years old, more and more people are discovering how Stoicism is not only relevant to modern times, but can be applied in very simple, yet strong ways.

    I spent two decades of my life living like an irresponsible, broke and pathetic loser. I realized over a year ago that change can only happen with discipline, enormous sacrifice/trade offs and some luck. Even then, change is slow, gradual and painful. I've learned to set aside all expectations of outcome and simply do. That journey led me to these videos on Stoic philosophy (as a way of coping with the rapid changes occuring in my life on a daily basis). I'm reading Meditations right now and will admit many chapters have moved me to tears (it's silly I know). When I picture Aurelius, with the weight of the world and an empire on his shoulders writing with such humility, discipline and honesty it really puts things in perspective for me. I'm midway through chapter 6 and it's easily one of the best self help books I've read.

    Do all the Stoics teach--in short, live an exemplary life. And still die, most probably of painful cancer or heart disease (1 in 3 odds) ... or a horrible accident (1 in 10 odds). And probably die when you are most happy. No ... the Stoics didn't call it; the Absurdists did. Therefore, if you can imagine Sisyphus happy, you are on your way. Best to drop religion, unrealistic philosophy, superstitious spirituality and face facts with as much courage and dignity as you can muster.
