Chapter XLIV

For: Inadequacy and social comparison

This chapter helps you let go of the exhausting pressure to measure your human worth against external achievements and material possessions. It reminds you that your intrinsic value is completely separate from status, freeing you to stop competing for superiority.

“But you, after all, consist neither in property nor in style.”

— Epictetus, Book 43
