How Desire Takes Control: Three Stages Of Stoic Practice

from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks · host Jon Brooks

Desire becomes a problem when wanting an external result starts to run your life. This episode maps three stages of attachment and three ways the Stoics worked with desire so it loosened its hold. I originally used the word enlightenment loosely. The subject is more ordinary than that: noticing when a preference has become a demand, separating what you want from what you need, and getting less yanked around by outcomes you cannot control. Use the framework on one desire that keeps stealing your attention.Free 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
