Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why the discipline you built to free yourself can become a prison, and why you keep tightening the cage even when you feel it closing in. Through their debate, you'll learn that the real problem isn't lack of willpower—it's that you've fused your worth with the system itself, so any loosening feels like losing yourself. You'll leave with one simple practice: deliberately break one small rule to discover what the structure has actually been protecting.📖 Pay Attention by C.
