The Daily Stoic

What is Stoicism? REBT was mainly formulated through Albert Ellis’ research into the history of Stoic philosophy, therefore, there is a strong correlation between Stoicism and REBT\cbt. Here, you will find definition of Stoicism & 9 Stoic exercises to get you started on living the life of a modern day Stoic. I like to think of these strategies as “ancient solutions for modern day problems”!
