Stoicism Misunderstood as Joyless Endurance

Is Stoicism all about being strong and serious? Is it too pessimistic and always looking for where things can go wrong, where the next challenge or struggle is? Today I want to talk about the softer side of Stoicism, and how many of the tools the Stoics teach us can actually lead us to joy.

“To live happily is an inward power of the soul.” 

— Marcus Aurelius
