Is It Within Your Control? #1424

In our last several +1s, we’ve been exploring some James Stockdale wisdom.

I mentioned the fact that Stockdale was, essentially, a practicing Stoic.

Today we’re going to talk about HOW he moved from Theory to Practice to Mastery in an unimaginably challenging ordeal.
