Über diesen Titel
Two thousand years ago, a former slave named Epictetus taught what may be the single most important lesson in philosophy: some things are within our control, and some things are not. Wisdom—and peace of mind—come from knowing the difference.
What's in your control? Your opinions, your desires, your actions, and your responses. What's outside your control? Everything else—other people's behavior, the economy, the weather, the past, and outcomes. The ancient Stoics understood that most human suffering comes from one place: misclassifying what we can and cannot control, then exhausting ourselves fighting the wrong battles.
Key Topics: Dichotomy of control, Epictetus philosophy, Stoicism for modern life, emotional regulation, letting go of outcomes, strategic focus, inner peace practices, anxiety management, Marcus Aurelius wisdom
Today's Practice: Think of something causing you stress right now. Draw two columns: what's within your control and what isn't. Then consciously redirect every ounce of energy from the second column to the first. That's the practice of the Stoics.
Master the mind. Your life will follow.
