#4 - The Trichotomy of Control, and the Promise of Stoicism




The Practical Stoic Podcast with Simon Drew show

Summary: In this episode Simon Drew discusses the Trichotomy of Control, along with the ultimate promise of Stoicism, as outlined by Epictetus. This quote basically sums it all up: “Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and can’t control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible.” - Epictetus Facebook: www.facebook.com/practicalstoicwisdom WANT TO SUPPORT MY WORK? BECOME A PATRON ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/simondrew/
