The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish
The Trichotomy of Control Explained
The Trichotomy of Control classifies experiences into three distinct categories: things you can fully control, things you cannot control at all, and things you have some control over but not complete. The first category encompasses elements such as personal values and goals, highlighting that individuals have the power to choose these aspects of their lives. The second category includes uncontrollable external events, such as natural disasters or unexpected cosmic occurrences, illustrating the limitations of personal influence. The middle category acknowledges situations where individuals can exert some degree of control, particularly in their responses to challenges, emphasizing the importance of effort and intention in managing one's reactions to life's difficulties.
