Life occurs in the mind. We filter each experience through the lens of our past, perceiving the world as a product of our emotion – not truth.

Stoicism, a Greco-Roman philosophy founded by Zeno in the 3rd century BCE, teaches that we can train our minds to see beyond these emotions; that through the use of reason, we can enhance our perception of life. Named after the Stoa Poikele – meaning ‘painted porch’ – where Zeno taught in Athens, Stoicism was created as a practical philosophy for everyday life.

It is a philosophy that we can use to increase our happiness, productivity, patience, and love for humankind.
