Emotional Resilience
TAKE-AWAY: Emotional resilience is about developing the ability to withstand and adapt to life’s challenges, setbacks, and disappointments. According to Stoic thought, our emotional reactions stem primarily from our beliefs, judgments, and thoughts about events, rather than the events themselves. By managing your emotions more effectively, you can minimize the negative impact of adversity.
