I Lived Like a Stoic for 7 Days: The Honest Truth

Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire through plague, war, and betrayal, yet remained legendarily calm. How? By diligently practicing Stoicism. To find out if his 2,000-year-old philosophy still works today, I decided to live exactly like Marcus Aurelius for 7 days, reconstructing his mental regimen from his private journal, Meditations. From conquering smartphone distractions through digital asceticism to practicing the "dichotomy of control" and mindfulness meditation, I tested this ancient wisdom against our modern, chaotic world. The results surprised me: my productivity soared and my baseline anxiety dropped significantly. However, I also discovered a major downside to absolute, cold tranquility. Watch to find out if Stoicism can actually make you happier—or just more peaceful!
