Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 We often have the illusion of control over our lives when things are going well, but what happens when we experience uncertainty. Consider our friend Alice who faces this question at her job.

#2 The first step in the Discipline of Desire is to understand that you cannot control everything, and that everything that is not under your control is indifferent. You must use your mental energy to focus on what is under your control, while viewing everything else as indifferent.

#3 The three parts of the mind are thoughts, impulses, and the will to avoid and get. You can control all three, but you can’t control everything that is not under your control.

#4 Epictetus suggested that you should write about events that happened that day. If you have trouble with the exercise, you can separate out value judgments, impulses, and what you wished to avoid or obtain.
