When do you speak up, and when do you let it go? When do you push, and when do you step back? Donald Robertson and I get into coping flexibility: the skill of matching your response to the situation instead of running the same move every time.
We pull from Stoicism, CBT and martial arts, including Epictetus on how you work out whether you can actually fight the lion in front of you, and why even Marcus Aurelius trained physically. Underneath it all sits self-knowledge: you cannot pick your battles well until you know your own strength.
