Welcome to the Daily Stoke. For each day, we read a short passage designed to help you cultivate the strength, insight, wisdom necessary for living good life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000-year-old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStoke.com.

If you want tranquility, here's how to find it. We all want more peace, right? More stillness, the quiet confidence that comes from being on the right path, a Senka described it, and not being distracted by all those which criss-cross hours.

Well, how do you get that? It's simple, Marcus Aurelius wrote, stop caring what other people think, stop caring what they do, stop caring what they say.

All that matters, he writes, is what you do. Everything else is beyond your concern. You can let it all go. You can ignore it entirely.

We find tranquility when we stop stressing about things we cannot control, whose influence we are impotent to constrain. We find tranquility when we narrow our focus when we look inward, when we look in the mirror, when we still the uncontrollable passions in our heads, hearts and bodies.

Stillness is the key to a better life. The bad news is that there is only one way to get it. The good news is that it's easy. You just have to stop.

Stop caring what they think or say or do. Start caring deeply about what you do. Stop and start now.

And again, if you want more of this tranquility, if you want more peace in your life, if you want more stillness, I urge you to check out my new book, Stillness is the key.

It's available everywhere. Books are sold. You can get it on Amazon. You can get it on Audible. It's an e-book. It's going to be translated in lots of different languages. You can get it at your local independent bookstore.

Or is this all just about Elon? He's essentially mad that his tweets aren't performing as well as he would expect them to.

But really just felt like, okay, this really is just a platform being ruled by a dictator who does things on his own limbs.

And what will be left of Twitter by the time he's done?

Basically, my entire team was gone by the end of it. Infrastructure was just completely gutted. He'll like tweet a thing and then everyone's like, we got a word on that now because he tweeted it. I'm supposed to believe this man is a genius.

It just felt like everything was kind of descending into chaos.

Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle? What should be done? Is a new platform needed? Is Twitter dying?

I'm David Brown, host of the new Wondery Podcast, flipping the bird, Elon versus Twitter. Join us as we unravel the fascinating story of Elon Musk's unexpected bid to buy Twitter.
