I really enjoyed reading this article as an overview of both what ideas of stoicism are practically applicable to our daily lives, but also for the historical sense of how the Greeks and Romans saw it.
Perhaps it glossed over some of Stoicism's less correct beliefs, the "physics" that the article refers to. However, the part that has always drawn me to the subject is how much the Stoics got right about consciously managing your emotions in a healthy way. The part about distinguishing indignation/rage from having a strong sense of justice really resonates with me given some of the more recent social controversies.
