I was first introduced to stoicism by Dr. Drew, of all people. I was in college and I was invited to a small, private summit of college journalists that Dr. Drew, then the host of Loveline, was hosting. After it ended I asked him “I heard you read a lot. What should I read?” He told me to check out the stoic philosopher Epictetus.
