In this episode, we dive into a powerful lesson from Epictetus that explores the concept of every event having two handles: one by which it can be carried, and one by which it can't. This profound metaphor is illustrated through the story of William Seabrook, a journalist who battled alcoholism and eventually found his path to recovery in an asylum. Seabrook's transformative journey underscores the importance of shifting perspectives and embracing change.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own challenges and consider the handles they choose to grasp. By learning from past mistakes and choosing a new approach, they can break free from the cycle of repetitive failures and move towards personal growth and enlightenment.
