Summary

 When you repeat the same mistake, your explanation for why it happened feels like progress—but Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi argue it's usually a way to avoid the real work of change. The episode unpacks why you curate your explanations to leave out your own agency, what hidden part of you keeps driving the behavior, and why the change that actually lasts comes not from deciding harder or understanding deeper, but from looking steadily at what you've been unwilling to see. You'll leave with a single practice: naming the part of your explanation you always leave out.
