🌿 Dive into the depths of stoic philosophy as we explore "The Risk of Avoiding Risk" from my book, "Going Alone." This video reflects on the hidden dangers of a life lived in excessive caution, and the profound impact of embracing life's adventures.

☀️ THE GOOD LIFE CREED ☀️
Today's discussion revolves around the 25th principle of The Good Life Creed: The Risk of Avoiding Risk. This principle, along with its sub-principles of risk management and erring on the side of family, challenges us to balance the safety of a conventional life with the thrilling, yet often overlooked, rewards of taking risks.
