Show Notes

The more we do, the Stoic philosopher Seneca tells us in his book On Tranquility of Mind, the more we put ourselves in Fortune's power, the more we tempt her.


In other words, the more tasks we take on, the more journeys we make, the more objectives we pursue, the more things there are that can go wrong.


In this episode, we look at why that doesn't mean we should limit our ambitions or give up altogether.
