A Hellenic philosophy popularised by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius in his collected writings, “Meditations”.

In an absolute nutshell, it’s learning to not let shit you can’t control occupy your thoughts or bother you, but instead to strive for a life well lived, whilst practicing self control and moderation in all things.

The hype’s because a few influencers got their hands on it and started quote mining it for content whilst practicing exactly none of its tenets.
