Stoic Challenge is a short introduction to stoicism. Stoics are not immune to emotion. However, they view setbacks as growing experiences. Stoics acknowledge that we are often more negatively impacted by our response to a setback than the setback itself. We get angry at others that led to our set back - even when there is little that can be done now. If instead, we just take them as a growing experience, we are able to move on much more quickly from the setback. By not wasting effort at getting mad, we can move on more quickly and be happier.
