How Do You Build Something That Outlasts You?
from The Stoic Compass
Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate whether building a lasting legacy is about disciplined action, understanding your hidden motives, or releasing your grip on the outcome entirely. You'll learn why most people build the wrong thing for the right-sounding reasons, and why what actually survives you has less to do with your ambition than with the honesty underneath it. By the end, you'll know how to distinguish between building something meaningful and simply constructing a monument to your own fear.📖 Pay Attention by C.
