Summary

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-long Online copy of Meditations (Meric Casaubon) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-casaubon Online copy of Meditations (A.S.L Farquharson) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/farquharson Online copy of Enchiridion (Elizabeth Carter) : https://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html Online 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.

0:56.2	Yesterday, William Stevens and I hosted a very well-attended workshop on this very subject, and some real gems of conversation came up that got me thinking, and that I wanted to make sure made it into your ears if you were not one of the people who attended because, and especially
