How do you eliminate stress without eliminating ambition?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why ambition and stress feel inseparable, and discover that the real problem is not the work itself but the story you've attached to it—the belief that your worth depends on the outcome. You'll learn how to separate productive pressure from corrosive anxiety, and how to redirect your effort toward what is actually yours to control, rather than toward outcomes that grip you with fear.📖 Pay Attention by C.
