How do you know if you're genuinely wise — or just think you are?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate whether self-examination can ever reveal true wisdom, or whether the very act of judging yourself prevents honest judgment. By the end, they agree on what actually matters: not whether you are wise, but what happens inside you when you discover you were genuinely wrong.📖 Pay Attention by C.
