Finding the right amount is a high art.

It’s important to realize finding the halfway point is difficult. Reading the Stoics can sometimes only make it more difficult. “Don’t procrastinate,” Marcus tells us, and then with the next breath, he says, “don’t be all about business.” Read, read, read, he says, but don’t forget to close your books and engage with the world. Seneca tells us to be prepared for the worst right before he tells us not to worry about the dangers of the future. Epictetus tells us to acquiesce to fate and embrace our own agency.

It’s not that the Stoics were contradicting themselves. It's that it takes work and study and practice to figure out what is the right thing to do in the right amount at the right time in the right way.
