What Would You Work On If No One Would Ever Praise You?
from The Stoic Compass
Three philosophers—Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi—examine why most people cannot answer a simple question: what would you work on if no one would ever praise you for it? Through their conversation, you'll learn to identify the work that is genuinely yours (the thing you return to in private, without reward), understand why you've been performing for an audience instead, and discover that the real measure of your values is not what you declare but what you actually do when no one is watching.📖 Pay Attention by C.
