Does your social circle elevate your virtue or silently anchor you to mediocrity?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate whether the people around you lift you toward virtue or quietly keep you stuck in mediocrity—and they disagree sharply on whether the problem is your circle, your psychology, or your lack of direction. You'll leave knowing that the real question isn't who surrounds you, but whether you've been honest about what they're actually doing to you, and what you're willing to do about it.📖 Pay Attention by C.
