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.
