What Is There to Fear? What Is There to Do?
About this episode
This episode centres on a question from Epictetus: what is there to fear?
By focusing only on what’s truly within our control—our choices and character—we loosen the grip of anxiety.
With fear quieted, attention returns to the present, where even ordinary moments become material for reflection and growth.
