Most people never ask themselves how they ought to live. Instead, the default philosophy for those who aren't religious has become "enlightened hedonism." In other words, trying to maximize pleasure, social status, and wealth. Sadly, this philosophy just doesn't lead to a good quality of mind or life.

Famous Stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus recognized that our thoughts and beliefs create the world we inhabit, not external circumstances, and so reasoned that we ought to take responsibility for our minds.

Stoicism isn't for entertainment; it's a way of life that teaches us how to be happy by using reason and logic. You can think of Stoicism as a systematic framework for seeing the world clearly and living a great life. To learn more about Stoicism: https://www.fitmind.com/blog-collection/stoic-mindset.
