Sad, Bored, Anxious? Maybe You've Got Weltschmerz

What does Weltschmerz mean? Where does it come from? And what can we do about it?

In times of hardship, it’s not an unnecessary exercise to fortify our minds with philosophical ideas, so we don’t slip into the trap of panic. Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius had some valuable insights on how to do this.
