When Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Crisis
What if the same techniques that helped a prisoner of war survive seven years of torture could help you manage a difficult Monday morning? James Stockdale, shot down over Vietnam in 1965, survived unimaginable brutality by mentally reciting passages from a long-dead Greek philosopher named Epictetus. Meanwhile, across decades and continents, a university student in 1990s Britain discovered that the "cutting-edge" cognitive therapy saving him from crippling panic attacks was actually recycled Stoicism-2,000-year-old wisdom repackaged in clinical language. This isn't nostalgia for togas and marble columns. Ancient philosophy emerged as practical medicine for the soul, designed for real people facing real suffering. The Stoics weren't armchair theorists-they were slaves, soldiers, and exiles who needed mental tools that actually worked. Today, as we doomscroll through anxiety and chase happiness like it's a product we can purchase, perhaps the most radical thing we can do is ask: what did they know that we've forgotten?
