The series
Three books, three ideas
Each book takes one foundational Stoic idea and gives it the whole book: the idea, the hard cases where it seems to fail, and the practices that make it usable. Every one stands alone.
Book One · Out now
In Your Control
The Stoic Dichotomy of Control and the Freedom of Letting Go

In Your Control follows one idea from the unanswered message and the doomscroll into the body, the past, and grief, and turns it into a daily practice drawn from Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca.
