What should you never give away freely — and why?
from The Stoic Compass
Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine the one thing you give away most freely without realizing it: your judgment about what matters. Through their debate, they reveal how you surrender this faculty daily—to other people's opinions, to old patterns of seeking approval, to the simple pressure of discomfort—and why recovering it is the foundation of any real freedom. You will leave this episode with a clear understanding of what's actually yours to protect and a concrete way to notice the next moment you're about to hand it over.📖 Pay Attention by C.
