Stockdale, the Stoic

Stockdale, the Stoic

One way of being able to embody a stoic mindset means being able to focus on what is under your control and not obsess about what you can't change. It also means learning through experience and sometimes that means learning through suffering, and reframing that experience. Dr. Joe Thomas discusses ADM Stockdale's return with honor principle in light of stoicism.
