Is there such a thing as being too good — too giving, too patient, too available?

from The Stoic Compass

When does generosity become a trap? Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why people give until they are empty, what they are actually hoping to receive, and the difference between choosing to give and being driven to give by fear. You will learn to recognize the ledger you are keeping in secret, understand what need your endless availability is really protecting, and discover whether the relationships you sustain can survive the moment you finally set a limit.📖 Pay Attention by C.
