I don't know. It certainly is an interesting intellectual movement. Bertrand Russell wrote scathingly of Stoicism in his History of Western Philosophy [1], to which Massimo Pigliucci, the author cited above in the comment, responded [2]. I tend to be sympathetic to Russell's critique now, as Stoicism did not "work" for me.
