> Can we really use Stoicism to make our lives better, or is it just a ruse to sell more books?

A few takeaways from reading about the Stoic philosophy:

- Focus on what you can control.

- Amor Fati. The love of fate. Transmute everything into a lesson to be learned and something to grow from.

- If it's bearable, endure it with wisdom and grace.

- Does it agree with natural law? Is something in line with nature? If it's an abomination, leave it immediately.

- Memento mori. Remember you will die. Live every day as if it's your last. Don't postpone.
