## Resource

This episode examines anger through the lens of Seneca and Epictetus. Seneca warns that anger harms us first, clouding reason and undermining self-control, while Epictetus reframes wrongdoing as error rather than malice. Together, they suggest a practical response: pause, question the impression, and consider the cost of reacting. 👇 👇 👇 📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT Check out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack: ☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: Go to Their Souls https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-go-to-their Hosted on Acast.
