The Stoic Approach to Ever Changing Life | Adit Upadhye | TEDxYouth@TISB

Adversity. Success. The journey of life is such that sometimes we rise and we fall; there’s no still moment in life,especially in the 21st century. In an ever changing world, we must question: who are we? What success do we chase? What failure do we wish to avoid? And finally, what can we control in this ever changing world? The Ancient Greek philosophy of Stoicism unfolds the complexity of our life; commonly used in cognitive behavioral therapy, leadership, politics and self help books, Stoicism is a guide on how to find intrinsic growth, happiness and motivation in an ever changing world.
Currently a student at TISB, Adit Nikhil has shifted schools over 10 times, lived in 5 cities and experienced a range of cultures. During the pandemic, Adit commenced on a journey of practicing Stoicism, an Ancient Greek philosophy with practical applications in our modern world. Along with his academics and philosophy, Adit is also the founder of Tech4All, a youth-led charity that provides underprivileged children with technology. He has won the Diana Award and the IB Innovators Award for his impact-driven service to his community and his leadership in Tech4All. Presently, he is writing a book on Stoicism and leadership, integrating the ancient words of wisdom for the future leaders of our world. Adit looks forward to sharing his experience of practicing Stoicism and the relevance of this philosophy for a holistic, successful and happy life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This talk really broke down the key components of Stoicism right to the quantum level, translating it in a fine way to how it can be used in daily life - if only Marcus Aurelius was alive to see this! Extremely proud of you Adit, keep up the good work man.

For someone who has a bald eagle profile pic, I can see why you think this is an impressive feat.

Is stoic approach same as detachment to result (essentially the philosophy of Geeta) ?
