from The Stoic Compass
In this episode, Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate what separates mere survival from actual flourishing—and whether you can thrive while still in the middle of something hard. You'll learn why discipline without direction is just suffering with better posture, why your interior life matters as much as your actions, and how to tell the difference between endurance that grinds you down and endurance that's anchored in something real. By the end, you'll have a simple test to apply today: identifying what you're holding on for, and taking one step that moves you toward it. 📖 Pay Attention by C.
