The Shipwreck That Created Modern TherapyAñadido:
Did you know the founder of Stoicism lost everything before he changed the world? Zeno of Citium was a wealthy merchant until a shipwreck destroyed his cargo and his fortune. He arrived in Athens with nothing, broke, desperate, lost. Wandering the streets, he stumbled into a [music] small bookshop and heard someone reading philosophy. In that moment of total ruin, he discovered his true calling. That financial disaster led him to create Stoicism, a philosophy that would guide Marcus Aurelius and shape modern therapy. Sometimes losing everything is how you find what really matters. Your breakdown might be your breakthrough. [music]
