Key takeaways

Stoics seek tranquility, a state marked by the absence of negative feelings (e.g., anger, grief, anxiety) and the presence of positive emotions (namely, joy). Use negative visualization periodically to remind you of what you have. Use the trichotomy of control to figure out what to care about and how to internalize goals.
