Stoicism flourished throughout the Roman and Greek world until the 3rd century CE, and among its adherents was Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. It experienced a decline after Christianity became the state religion in the 4th century CE. Since then, it has seen revivals, notably in the Renaissance (Neostoicism) and in the contemporary era (modern Stoicism).

From Wikipedia
Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that flourished in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.[1] The Stoics believed that the practice of virtue is enough to achieve eudaimonia: a well-lived life. The Stoics identified the path to achieving it with a life spent practicing the four cardinal virtues in everyday life — prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice — as well as living in accordance with nature. It was founded in the ancient Agora of Athens by Zeno of Citium around 300 BCE.

Wiki

The Stoics are especially known for teaching that "virtue is the only good" for human beings, and that external things, such as health, wealth, and pleasure, are not good or bad in themselves (adiaphora) but have value as "material for virtue to act upon".

The ideas are good but there are some I draw the line.

For example:

How to make people instantly like you -
I am into previous lives. I don't want people following me again. So why would I want them to follow me if they like me?
Also sure it is good if you are getting a promotion, more money BUT then you alienated and create negativity with other co-workers who are more qualified to do the job then I am. Wouldn't this be Validating the Ego on the material level?

9 ways to deal with people who don't respect you -
I cannot fix Mental Health, I could guide them but it is up to them if they are willing to play the game to be better. 95% of people don't want to play the game.

Yes I worked on myself but it was a rough, tough, coughing journey, walk or climb.
