What did Stoicism evolve into?

I’m not big into philosophy, but recently I’ve started reading some of the ancient stuff. Among that stuff I’ve taken a particular interest in Stoicism, specifically the writings from Marcus Aurelius. 


What did these ideas evolve into? Can anyone tell me who are the people that took ideas from Aurelius/Seneca etc. and built off of them? Also, is stoicism still something that’s practiced in the field of philosophy? By that I mean, are there a significant number of academics who refer to themselves as stoics?

Tons of things. cognitive behavioral therapy. Parts of christanity. Neostoicism. There are modern people who claim to be stoics, some even in academia, but the connotations of what it means to be one aren't entirely the same anymore. Philosophy schools in the classical sense aren't really how modern philosophy is done.

If you want to learn about how to practice it in modern day there is a godo book called stoicism and the art of happiness that both details its classical beliefs as well as how to make it useful today. And it is written by a professional therapist.
