Detailed explanation-1: -Stoicism is a school of philosophy that hails from ancient Greece and Rome in the early parts of the 3rd century, BC. It is a philosophy of life that maximizes positive emotions, reduces negative emotions and helps individuals to hone their virtues of character.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stoicism is a philosophy of action. Take action. Eliminate the unnecessary stress and the frivolous action (i.e. worrying about what is not up to you).
Detailed explanation-3: -Stoic philosophy leaves us with no causal power to impact events, only at best the ability (so far unexplained) to voluntarily accept our leash and accommodate ourselves to the inevitable. This may provide a false sense of solace to some, but it isn’t exactly an empowering perspective on life.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike modern academic philosophies, Stoicism is a practical philosophy of life for guiding people in living well. So, in addition to learning theory, Stoics engage in exercises and practices to remind them of how to act in everyday life and master the Stoic virtues.
