Have you ever seen Camelot? One of the most famous monologues from that play serves as a perfect backdrop for kicking off our series on Equanimity. In it King Arthur must wrestle with two parts of himself, the one that feels pain and outrage, and the other that demands justice.

Which is a human struggle that we all go through as we travel through the ups and downs of life. In this episode we explore what is equanimity? How can we cultivate it? What generally prevents us from having inner peace and calm in conflict?

We explore Marcus's concept of the "Inner Citadel" and how that is a powerful metaphor for the type of inner character we can develop by working to build it in ourselves.
