#758 - Dr Orion Taraban - How To Hack Your Psychology And Become More Resilient
Modern Wisdom
Internal vs. external locus of control, Stoicism, and Victor Frankl
The Stoics emphasized the importance of distinguishing between what is within our locus of control and what is not, advising to cultivate indifference towards the majority of external factors. By choosing to accept whatever comes our way, we can assert psychological control over situations. This mindset encourages wrestling with challenges as opportunities for growth and potential rebirth. The concept of internal versus external locus of control is illustrated through an experiment with two hamsters, showing significantly lower stress levels in the hamster with internal control.
