What does a purposeful life actually look like day to day?

from The Stoic Compass

Three ancient and modern thinkers — Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi — debate what purpose actually means when you're living it hour to hour, not dreaming about it. You'll hear why good intentions fail, what self-deception looks like in disguise, and why the purposeful life often looks boring from the outside. By the end, you'll have a single practice: one specific action each day that serves what matters most to you, done before anything else can replace it.📖 Pay Attention by C.
