Stoicism is a philosophy that has been popular for centuries, but in recent years it has seen a resurgence in popularity. This can be attributed to the increasing interest in the philosophy among both academics and the general public. There are several reasons for the renewed interest in Stoicism, one of the main reasons is that it offers a practical approach to dealing with life's challenges such as stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. Additionally, the Stoic approach to emotions and the emphasis on self-discipline and mindfulness aligns with the modern trend of personal development and self-help. The popularity of Stoicism has also been driven by the works of contemporary authors and thinkers who have written about the philosophy in an accessible and relatable way. Stoicism is being read, studied and discussed in different circles, from self-help groups, to coaching circles, to therapy groups, to the military, to business, and the list goes on. This has led to a growing number of books, articles, workshops, and online resources dedicated to the philosophy, making it more accessible to people than ever before.
