How to Become a Stoic in the Modern World

We’re all pretty used to rain. We’re either prepared for it with an umbrella or raincoat or just get wet. Rarely does it genuinely upset us. But what about when it rains for days, and the streets flood, so you can’t go outside? Or when you realize you can’t afford the interest rate on that home you want to purchase? How do you react when your investments plummet in value? Or you’re laid off without severance? These are genuine modern problems that plague us at every turn. Problems that haunt our nights with nightmares and fill our days with despair. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can learn to remain grounded despite all the problems plaguing our society today. This is how to become stoic in the modern world.
