Welcome to Will To Wisdom - A podcast exploring perspectives on living well.

In this episode we're taking a look at the dichotomy of control - the stoic practice of dividing the world into things we control and things we don't. The stoics suggest that by focussing our attention on only those things that we control, we will become more resilient to the often cruel whims of fate.

In this episode we'll be discussing the origins and history of stoicism, the fundamental principles of stoic philosophy, the dichotomy of control and its applications in modern life.

I hope you enjoy.
