Today’s book: The Inner Citadel by Pierre Hadot—an in-depth exploration of Stoic philosophy, focusing on Marcus Aurelius' Meditations and the art of inner resilience.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Your mind is your fortress. True freedom comes from controlling your thoughts and emotions—not external events.
- Detach from what you can’t control. Stop wasting energy on things outside your influence—focus only on your own actions.
- View obstacles as training. Challenges aren’t roadblocks; they’re opportunities to strengthen your character.
- Live in harmony with nature. Accept life as it unfolds, and respond with wisdom and courage.
- Virtue is the highest goal. Success isn’t about wealth or status—it’s about living with wisdom, discipline, courage, and love.
Your greatest power lies in mastering yourself. What’s one way you can strengthen your inner citadel today?
