What Does It Mean to Invest in People Without Seeing Returns?
from The Stoic Compass
When you give to someone and get nothing back, are you generous or naive—and does it matter? Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi untangle the hidden contracts we carry into acts of generosity, examining why we keep score even when we think we don't, and what it actually means to let go of a gift once we have given it. You will leave understanding the difference between bitterness and grief, and with a single question that can change how you invest in people for the rest of your life.📖 Pay Attention by C.
