On Inner Speech, Stoicism, and the Ethics of Self-Talk. Modern therapy treats symptoms while ancient Stoicism builds character. Discover why Epictetus (born 50 AD) anticipated CBT by nearly 2,000 years, how your inner dialogue creates your reality, and why the most radical healing isn't cognitive correction but existential reorientation. Break free from performance metrics and rediscover wisdom that transforms suffering into freedom. —#WritingCulture— by Ellis Zeitmann @ThinkZeit #InnerSpeech #Stoicism #AncientWisdom #MentalHealthPhilosophy #ExistentialHealing #Philosophy #Psychology #Writing #MentalHealth #Stoicism #Books #Self-Improvement #Mindfulness
