Abstract: Abstract This chapter draws upon the key lessons of Stoic philosophy to achieve workplace well-being and human flourishing. Humanity is passing through one of its toughest and uncertain times in recent memory. A tiny virus has shaken the whole edifice of human endeavors, underscored the fleeting nature of human structures, and has highlighted the precariousness of our organizations and institutions. The COVID-19 pandemic has also reignited the need for spiritual and moral transformation, both at the personal and professional levels. It has also heightened the need and concern for human and organizational well-being and flourishing. This chapter concludes with the perspective that we all need to work humbly together with each other, albeit with Stoic equanimity and calm, to combat the after-effects of the pandemic and stay constructive and strong-willed. Only then we can hope for a shared, sustainable future for humanity.
