Why does simplicity feel difficult?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi grapple with why living simply feels so hard in a world that prizes complexity. They examine if our desire for simplicity is genuine or just another thing we crave, and explore the uncomfortable truths we avoid when shedding the unnecessary. Listeners will gain insight into the internal resistance to simplifying their lives and a challenge to identify one thing to let go of.📖 Pay Attention by C.
