Ep. 170 | You Don't Have to Keep the First Thought You Have
from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

Viktor Frankl writes in Man's Search for Meaning: "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." This is an episode about the space between what happens and how you respond — and the freedom that lives there.
