Yes. Much of it is mentally healthy.
Delve deep and it’s a hopeless religion. Tim Ferriss is a fan, and speaks of it frequently.

The synopsis in that article makes a lot of sense:

as Marcus Aurelius put it, "Choose not to be harmed and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed and you haven’t been."

That and a lot of the other quotes line up very well with my own biases. I'll have to learn more...

Stoics are definitely on to something. I never regret staying calm and pragmatically handling situations.
