Stoicism In Sickness and In Health

Stoics believe 

that the state of one’s 

health, 

wealth, 

status 

are not linked 

to one’s

happiness. 


Eudaemonia 

To achieve happiness and bliss regardless of the circumstances life has thrown one’s way. 


Happiness is about 

Virtue 

Courage

Goodness 

Temperance 

and 

Living in harmony with the 

Natural Way.
