In this episode of The Daily Dose, Dr. Lance Garrison explores why we feel so pressured to have an opinion on everything — and why choosing silence or neutrality can actually lead to greater peace of mind.

Drawing on both Stoic philosophy and modern psychology, Dr. Garrison unpacks how social media, 24-hour news cycles, and identity signaling fuel the constant need to react. He explains how opinions often become tangled with ego, how that creates unnecessary stress, and how the Stoic practice of restraint helps us regain clarity and emotional balance.

You’ll learn:

• Why it’s okay — even healthy — not to have an opinion
• How to protect your mental energy in a noisy world
• Practical ways to manage emotional reactivity and ego attachment
• The Stoic art of mindful non-response

🎧 Try this today: When you feel the urge to react, take a breath and ask, “Do I really need an opinion here?” You might discover that peace lives in the pause.
