Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self - mastery virtue and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire.
