Traveling to the UK by way of Canada today, finally reuniting with my wife! Because it made more sense schedule wise, we're going to move Marcus and Epictetus to Wednesday and Friday this week (respectively). Today I'll be reflecting on the Dichotomy of Control, and why we should stop calling it that once and for all.--#1: Get rid of ads and support my work : https://actualstoicism.com/support#2 : Read Actual Stoicism : https://read.actualstoicism.com#3 : Read Everyday Stoicism : https://everydaystoicism.com#4 : Read Uphill From Here : https://read.uphillfromhere.com#5 : Join the Discord : https://stoicismpod.com/discord--Online copy of Meditations (George Long) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-longOnline copy of Meditations (Meric Casaubon) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-casaubonOnline copy of Meditations (A.S.L Farquharson) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/farquharsonOnline copy of Enchiridion (Elizabeth Carter) : https://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.htmlOnline copy of Seneca's Letters : https://link.stoicismpod.com/letters--Check out Neurohacker's QualiMind at https://neurohacker.com/practical Learn more about your ad choices.
