What is actually in your control?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi sit down to debate one of philosophy's most practical questions: what do you actually have control over, and what are you fooling yourself about? They push back on each other — on the difference between self-mastery and passivity, on whether unconscious forces quietly run the show, and on what it really means to let go. You'll walk away with a clearer sense of where your energy is worth spending and where you're wasting it. 📖 Pay Attention by C.
