What Does "For Its Own Sake" Really Mean?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate what it truly means to act for its own sake—whether it requires conscious discipline, psychological integration, or the release of self-examination altogether. Through their disagreement, you'll learn to recognize the hidden transaction running beneath most of your actions and discover a simple test to know whether you're acting freely or still collecting payment in the form of recognition.📖 Pay Attention by C.
