And from reading that article, it seems that they got it all wrong, its all about virtue and your inner citadel, not about "bringing the pain"....

But if you want to really know what Stoicism is really about, here are some links

The book by Irvine mentioned in the article is also pretty good, but it's pretty clear the author didn't read it since it then proceeds with a complete mischaracterization of what Stoicism is about.
