If there was a guidebook on how to deal with the unprecedented challenges life throws at you, a lot of this anxiety and pressure we carry inside ourselves everyday would just vanish. When the pandemic struck, Varun Duggirala found himself surrounded by anxiety of losing control and not knowing how to let go of it. ThatтАЩs when he found his way to Stoicism, an age-old Greek philosophy that taught him how to regain his control and deal with whatever the universe throws at you! In this episode of Take aPause, Varun Duggirala shares the 5 core things Stoicism taught him and how you can use these tools to live a calmer life where you get to decide your narrative!
