    In this episode of The Everyday Stoic, William Mulligan, author of "The Everyday Stoic: Simple Rules for a Good Life," explores two fundamental Stoic principles: the dichotomy of control and amor fati. He delves into the wisdom of Epictetus and Victor Frankl, explaining how to distinguish between what lies within and outside our sphere of influence. By recognizing that we cannot control external events, we gain the freedom to respond with wisdom and resilience.

    William provides practical guidance on navigating life's challenges with Stoic equanimity. He shares a compelling anecdote from his encounter with a Shaolin monk, illustrating the futility of clinging to expectations. Drawing on insightful quotes and real-life examples, this episode illuminates the path to inner peace and fulfilment by embracing our fate and focusing on what truly lies within our power: our thoughts, judgments, and reactions.
