Letters from a Stoic
Problem-solving
Give yourself time to think
from Letters from a Stoic by Seneca
How to Apply This
-
Think before acting.
Seneca and the Stoics made a clear distinction between thoughts and behavior. A person who does not think before acting will make bad decisions, which he will regret. -
The next time you face a problem, take a break and ask yourself what would be the best way to solve it.
Just wait a few days before analyzing the problem. Make a decision only when you are calm.
