What are the marks of genuine goodness — and how do you know if you have them?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate where genuine goodness actually lives—in your actions, your psychology, or something beyond both—and why the person who announces their virtue is almost always fooling themselves. You'll learn the one test that cuts through self-deception: what do you do when goodness costs you something and no one will know? By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of what to actually watch for in yourself, and a small practice that exposes the difference between performing goodness and becoming it.📖 Pay Attention by C.
