BOOK II. THE VANITY OF FORTUNE'S GIFTS
For: Regretful longing for lost prosperity
This chapter helps you reframe the painful loss of external success and stability by showing that worldly fortune is inherently changeful and beyond your control. It gently guides you to anchor your peace of mind within yourself, where no sudden shift of circumstance can take away what truly matters.
“So true is it that nothing is wretched, but thinking makes it so, and conversely every lot is happy if borne with equanimity.”
