Over 2000 years ago, the Greek began creating a system of ideas that the Romans would later refine into Stoic philosophy. The building blocks of Stoicism can be found in every psychology textbook and every video, article, book, seminar, or workshop on personal development. Stoic teachings have held up very well over the millennia, spreading quietly and usually unacknowledged under the guise of a religion or various schools of psychology. One thing that has allowed Stoicism to endure is that so many of its ideas seem common sensical when laid out in front of you. Yet each concept would be difficult to come up with and follow all on your own. Stoicism clearly and plainly connects the dots for you, laying out exactly the makings of a good life. Bear & Forbear seeks to make these teachings even more accessible to the modern world, while preserving the beauty and nuance of the ancient texts.
