My issue is that it seems that this "modern stoicism" always seems to be coupled with another toxic ideology. At least from what I've seen online.

- SomeOldThrow 7y agoI had assumed this referred to "A New Stoicism", which was published in 1998, but looking around amazon there seems to be this self help culture that's cropped up around the term.
- bobthechef 7y agoIt seems to be a phenomenon across the board. Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc, etc, all have silly modern counterfeits floating around. Think of how a Hindu belief like "I am God" may be read by a traditional Hinduism vs. some New Agey American counterfeit Hinduism. In Catholicism, there's even the heretical cluster of views under the name of Americanism[0]. Not that this article gets stoicism right either.
