What does the Stoic tradition say about failure — and why does it change everything?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate what failure actually means—is it something to strip of meaning through discipline, a wound to excavate and understand, or simply a natural bend in the shape of things? Through their disagreement, you'll learn what the Stoic tradition really says about failure: that it reveals where you've placed your identity, and that what remains of you after loss is the only thing that was ever truly yours.📖 Pay Attention by C.
