Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Stoicism?

    Stoicism is an ancient Greek school of philosophy. It taught that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge and that perception is the basis for true knowledge, and to favour positive emotions regardless of the ups and downs of fortune, pleasure and pain.

  • Most modern forms of self-help are ultimately indebted to the Stoics, as is cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), the leading evidence-based form of psychotherapy.

  • The stoic app is for anyone that would like to learn more about stoic philosophy.

  • The stoics were not against emotions, but rather focused on ways to maximise their positive emotions over negative ones.

  • Stoicism is not a religion in the common sense, and modern practicing stoics come from every walk of life and religion.

  • In a recent study at the Affective and Cognitive Neuroscience lab at Birkbeck, training based on the stoic principles reduced emotional vulnerability in those at risk of anxiety and depression.
