Dr Chuck's book sounds interesting as seems to address very common 'hinrances' as the Buddhists say. The issue of regret is part of the human condition. My approach to is to reflect that every day we are born again to new stooic life similar to the Christian born again. looked at that this way the past stays firmly in the past. I also agree that seeking perfection can be an obstacle to getting anything done. I like the phrase ' we do not seek perfection but momentum'. I agree as well that your book Brittany, should be firmly on this list!
Stoicism has many metaphors… last year, we covered a dozen of them, including the archer and the dog/cart scenario. I find Taoism also has many good metaphors.

As always, thanks for the vote of confidence!
Of course, there's also your book on Stoic Journaling. In addition, Chakrapani also wrote How to be a Stoic When You Don't Know How.
Yes, thanks for mentioning those!

Good post. I reposted on my social media to spread the word.
I've read and journaled through Massimo and Greg's Handbook.
One of the things that made an impression on me was that the dichotomy of control is mentioned three times... just goes to show how important it is!
Preordered ‘The Power to Change’. I also enjoy ‘The Stoic Gym’ and ‘The Prokpton’.
Hope you enjoy the book!
