You Still Have a Victim Mindset (Even If You Think You Don't)

Does self-reliance still matter when your circumstances are unfair? John responds to a viewer who argues that opportunity depends on where you live.

The discussion covers internal freedom, the limits you cannot control, and the choices you still have. John draws on Harry Browne's How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World, Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, and Stoic philosophy to explain why blaming your circumstances can keep you stuck.
