Six ways to make your life easier and more peaceful – by using stoic principles

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/nov/22/stoicism-book-news-brigid-delaney?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-intl The control test The control test is a simple but incredibly effective strategy I use whenever I start worrying about something. It can be applied not just to the news cycle but absolutely everything in life, from not getting a pay raise to facing death. The formula, or test, is found in Handbook, or Enchiridion, a book of lectures by the Roman stoic Epictetus. Epictetus – whose handbook was published in 125AD – wrote: Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing.

Bhagavad Gita --- Chapter 5 Summary

Chapter 5 of the Bhagavad Gita is titled "Karma Sannyasa Yoga" or "The Yoga of Renunciation." It contrasts the paths of renunciation (sannyasa) and selfless action (karma yoga), ultimately highlighting the superiority of performing one's duty with detachment. Here is a detailed synopsis: Renunciation and Selfless Action: Arjuna asks Krishna to clarify which path is better: the renunciation of actions or performing actions with detachment.
