What is the difference between ambition that serves you and ambition that destroys you?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why some ambition drives you forward while other ambition devours you from within—exploring whether your goals belong to you or to an old fear you haven't faced. You'll learn to spot the difference between ambition rooted in genuine values and ambition that's really running away from something, and walk away with a single honest question that reveals which kind you're actually living.📖 Pay Attention by C.
