I picked up Letters from a Stoic the other night after a long day at work. I came home and was stressed from dealing with someone who was being…a little unreasonable.

In the moment, I failed at being a good practicing Stoic. I didn’t lash out or anything, but I felt myself getting stressed and worked up in response.
