A Guide To the Good Life

By William B. Irvine

Be a modern stoic...

Practice living through tougher situations. From time to time, make yourself uncomfortable-- fast-- don't wear enough clothing in cooler weather.

Be clear on what you can control, what you can only influence, and what you don't control. 

You really don't control things that you can only influence, so only set yourself internal expectations and goals for these. For example, don't set a goal to win every tennis game. But do set a goal for yourself to play the best you can.
